My favorite movies, in no particular order, and other shit nobody cares about.

I realize that many of these are less than a decade old. I don't care, fuck you, it's my list. At least I don't have any Pirates of the Caribbean films. I don't subscribe to the theory that something has to age to be considered great; a good movie is a good movie. I've seen a lot of movies, I have no way to accurately state how many but I would guess several hundred. This is based purely on my VHS/DVD collection, which is pretty large for poor white trash. I've seen movies people consider great, from most all decades. I haven't seen what Roger Ebert calls the "official answer" for greatest film of all time, Citizen Kane. I haven't seen very much pre-war cinema, and only a bit from the 50's and 60's. The majority of my viewing centers on the late 70's to mid 90's. I'm no professional critic, I just like them. Later on, I will post a guilty pleasures list, which is a heck of a lot less contemporary than this one.

The Wizard of Oz

Stalag 17

Aliens

The Big Lebowski

Terminator 2: Judgement Day

Casino Royale

The Shawshank Redemption
