Top 50 FAVORITE Movies #20-11

Well, were getting close to the top 10. So let's not waste any time with this :D

#20:

As far as I'm concerned, there will never be a political satire as good as this one. Dr. Strangelove isn't one of thosesatires where you're just laughingconstantly at how stupid it is, with this you're not really laughing out loud, it's more like internal laughter. You're laughing at the strange irony of the movie as well ashow clever the lines are. It's a different kind of comedy, and I adore itfor that.

This is kind of the oppositeof Dr. Strangelove in terms of satires. With this movie, it's all about how stupidit is and not at all about irony or real world events. Nope, this is just a big dumb comedy that's bound to make Star Wars geeks such as myself crackup every time. No matter how many times I watch this movie, I laugh nonstop. And that's what a great comedy is supposed to do right?

I love mystery movies. They always grip me with their dark tones, interesting atmospheres, and engaging soundtracks. In The Heat Of The Night is a perfect example of why I love that genre. It centers around a murder in a small Mississippi town and seeing as this is during the timesof segregation, they blame the first African-American they see. And that man happens to be thetop homicide expert of the Philadelphiapolice department. It's a really gritty, smooth, and intense movie all at the same time, and that's something that I really admire.

I consider this to be easily the most underrated crime film of all time. It's set during a time that is somewhat ignored by Hollywood. It's about agangster named Rico who's rebellious behavior moves him upon the crime ladder until he hitsthe peak.But as the ways of organized crime such as the mafia begin to take hold, Rico's notoriety begins to fade. It's just one of those movies where it grabs you from the start and you really want to find out how it all unfolds.

Ahh, Alfred Hitchcock. You never cease to amaze me. Vertigo is one of those movies that's kind of scary, but you don't realize that it's scary untilthe movie's over and you sort of run it back through your mind. I think that in terms of cinematography, thisjust mightbe the best. The only that I can think of that may be better is Citizen Kane.But in terms of my personal favorites, Vertigo is superior and deserves the number 16 spot on the countdown.

I want to clarify something here. I DON'T LIKE METAL. I know that it's shocking to find someone who plays video games that doesn't like metal but it's true. However I do love rock music and I've watched dozens of rock documentaries. But my favorite is the "mockumentary" This Is Spinal Tap. For anyone who's watched concert footage or seen a rock documentary, this is the perfect movie for you. It parodies everything in rock music and documentaries andit's just sohysterically funny. But you have to pay attention becausesome of the best jokes are minor details.

Yeah yeah I know it just came out last year but I just love this movie to death. I think it's one of Pixar's finest creations and it's certainly one of my favorite movies of all time. There's just so much heart in this movie that it's impossible not to like. It's one of the funniest movies of the past decade as well as one of the saddest, and it's an animated movie! That shows how good it really is.

I mentioned earlier about how In The Heat Of The Night captures everything that's great about mystery movies. Well The Searchers captures everything that's great about westerns. It's about Civil War veteran who visits his brother and while he's there his family is killed and or captured by Native Americans. He and his adopted nephew set out to find the only surviving member of the family, his niece Debbie. This is one of the few movies that I consider to be perfect. I can't think of any flaws whatsoever with this film. It's that friggin' good.

This may surprise some of you, but there was a time when I was obsessed with Indiana Jones. I watched the trilogy all the time and couldn't get enough of it. I still love all four of the movies (yes I liked Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) but not as much as I used to. But all of the movies hold a special place in my heart, and Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of the films that turned me into the movie buff that I am today. So if it weren't for this movie, I probably wouldn't even know half of the movie's on this list.

Being someone who lives on the Atlantic coast, I love the beach. And for some odd reason, Jaws doesn't scare me away from the beach but rather makes me want to go to the beach. It just reminds me of summer and how much fun beaches are. It's alsoone of theclosest things to a horror movie that I can tolerate. Besides thosetwo things, I don't really know wat it is about Jaws that makes me love it so much, but on a list of your favorite movies, do you really need a reason?
