Before I start listing my top 50 movies let me mention a few of my criteria for selections:

1. I had to have seen them in the last 5 years (so that my sh**e taste in highschool didn't cross over :P)

2. Because my memory is bad and I love a lot of movies, they had all been rated by me on IMDb prior to starting the list. (So that I could have a visual aid for deletion and ordering.)

3. B-movies and cheesy movies are not included. After all, who wants to read a great movie next to Step Up 2 the Streets besides me? :D

And awaaaaaay we go!

50. Red Cliff (2008 )

First off, this is based off of the ENTIRE movie. It's almost 5 hours long and was released in two parts. I'm a huge Dynasty Warriors fan (or was. I haven't played since DW 4 or 5. The games kept getting dumbed down.) The Three Kingdoms stories interest me, but the book is too dry to read, so I get my fill through the games. I was very excited to finally see this a few months ago. If you like Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yu, then I highly recommend this war-time drama. If you watch the movie and wonder why I said "drama" then you missed at least 3 hours of the movie and got the American theatrical version or something. (Can we say import fail?) This is a really well made movie. However, some John Woo drama direction is spotty, which brings the film's overall score down.

8/10

49. Blast From the Past (1999)

I love rom-coms. Sorry fellas. :P This movie is just so well made and such a good concept that even Alicia Silverstone couldn't ruin it. Brendan Fraser did a superb job playing a man who grew up with his parents in a fallout shelter. Christopher Walken is amazing as his dad and even my beloved Nathan Fillion had a cameo. The romance takes a back seat in this comedy, so if you haven't seen it, then give it a chance.

8/10

48. The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (1978 )

This movie ties Knockabout for my favourite martial arts film. The other movie is a comedy. This one is just pure awesome for guys. It's about a man training to be a Shaolin monk and rising through their training chambers in order to ultimately take revenge, even though that's not what monks do. Just watch it if you haven't seen it and like martial arts. Starring Gordon Liu.

8.5/10

47. Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006)

Occasionally misunderstood and called "too funny for horror" or "too scary for comedy" by idiots, this film isn't a horror-comedy. It's a comedy-before-horror. As far as I know, it's the only one of its kind. The film starts out innocent (well...) and funny, but takes a turn leaving all of the comedy behind and becoming a chilling experience. I recommend it for comedy fans and slasher fans alike. There's something here to love for everybody. It's a truly unique film.

10/10

46. Thank You For Smoking (2005)

You should all know this one, so why bother explaining it? It's a really good comedy.

10/10

45. Starship Troopers (1997)

Critics' heads were up their a**es with this gem. It's constantly called "gory/bug-killing fun" and berated for its "wooden acting." One critic even said it ignored "its scariest implications." Good job f***tards. It's a satire. Everyone was supposed to be wooden. Mindless drones serving a fascist empire. Guess what else satire is? C-o-m-e-d-y. It's not a war/action/sci-fi drama, though it takes place at such a time. Ignored its implications? Are you sure they weren't... the point? :P Really, this is one of the most misunderstood movies of all time.

8/10

44. The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra (2001)

A joyous, ridiculous movie modeled after '50s Sci-Fi faire. There's a link to a commercial (or scene from it. I can't remember) in my sig. "Humans? Us? Is this one of your Earth jokes?"

9.5/10

43. The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)

Sorry for the lack of screenshot... but the movie's almost entirely inappropriate for a censored site like this one. :P This is one of my favourite musicals. I love Tim Curry and Barry Bostwick. The story is ridiculous and nearly unintelligible. It's gay catchy fun and I love it to death.

9/10

42. Twelve Monkeys (1995)

Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt give amazing performances and everything about this movie is just great. This is one of my favourite sci-fi movies. Plus, Madeline Stowe is absolutely gorgeous. ^_^

9/10

41. My Fair Lady (1964)

I had trouble finding good screenshots for this one. This is a great musical. In my opinion it's one of the best ever made. Singin' In the Rain almost made my top 50, but My Fair Lady nudged its way in. Of course, I adore Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison is just fantastic. I highly recommend it. If you don't like musicals, then this one just might change your mind.

9/10

I'll try to do 40-31 tomorrow. Thanks for reading. Comments are more than welcome, as always.
