1. Memento. Amazing. Brilliant, performed
perfectly. Of course, it can only
be done once...
2. Princess Bride. No other movie comes close for
're-watch-ability.'
3. Braveheart. Bagpipes. Swords. Kilts. Need
I say more?
4. Gladiator. Wonderful score, good acting, phenominal
epic.
5. The Matrix. Even Mr. Reeves
couldn't ruin this movie.
6. Monty Python and the Holy Grail. British comedy at it's best.
7. Dr. Strangelove. If you haven't yet seen
this Kubrik artwork yet, you
need to. Brilliant humor.
8. Office Space. Yet another movie that is
just filled with quotes.
9. Empire Strikes Back. The greatest movie of my childhood.
10. Back to the Future
Knock it if you want to, but I will stand by this movie as one of the
greats.

Jed Stoneham.
1. Apocalypse Now. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola
A classic film loosely based on the
themes of the “Heart
of Darkness”. Terrific performances and overall mood created as they
slowly journey
into the darkness and ever closer to the mysterious Mr. Kurtz.
2. Boogie Nights. Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. A
truly vibrant film supported by a terribly inventive
and original script. Every actor fits their role so perfectly and
meticulously
plays out their character’s decline as the
film
progresses.
3. Hoop Dreams. Directed by Steve James. Of course I had the dream of
playing in the NBA. So did William Gates and
Arthur Agee. It was quite possibly the longest movie I had ever seen at
the time,
but this real documentary told a story that was more engrossing and
affecting
than any other meticulously thought-out and scripted drama I had seen
before
it.
4. Psycho. Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. A
classic film and a deserving one at that. How can a
top ten list not have at least one Hitchcock film on it? Perhaps his
most
successful film, “Psycho” exemplifies what a great suspense movie
should be. It
also gives new meaning to the Oedipus Complex.
5. Run Lola Run. Directed by Tom Tykwer. A fantastic exploration of “what if’s”. Lola’s
boyfriend owes money, and he only has twenty minutes
to pay. She runs through a variety of different scenarios each with a
different
conclusion. Don’t even complain about
subtitles.
6. Shawshank Redemption Directed
by Frank Darabont. People in jail do the darndest
things. Tim Robbins shows the vulnerability and fear of a man wrongly
accused,
but perseveres and outwits everyone in the end.
7. Seven
Directed by
David Fincher
As a designer what impressed me most about this
movie were
the opening titles. The groundbreaking titles are equal in value to the
opening
credits in “The Man with the Golden Arm” by Saul Bass. Once the movie
begins
though, the story trudges on in a truly interesting Fincher style
slowly exploring
each of the Seven Deadly Sins. The ending is satisfying in every which
way,
though it be depressing for Pitt’s
character. P.S.
Changing the name to Se7en seemed cheesy. It’s lkie tpying wiht lteters in the
wrnog plcaes.
8. Gattaca
Directed by
Andrew Niccol
Vincent wants to travel in space, but his own genetics deny him from
doing so.
He must struggle against a society that only accepts people that have
been
scientifically developed to satisfy societal needs. His brother was
perfect,
but he’s flawed. His journey to space is
his only
dream and his only goal, and he must do anything to make it a reality.
9. Memento. Directed by
Christopher Nolan. I sent out mass emails to people encouraging them to
see this movie as soon as
possible, not realizing that it wouldn’t
play in
their area for months. When it finally did come to a theater near me, I
couldn’t conceive of a more
satisfying film. There had been
hype for it of course, but this movie actually lived up to it. A
completely
original screenplay, made even more original by being fractured and
backwards.
10. Point Break. Directed by
Kathryn Bigelow. I hope I’m allowed one
“guilty pleasure” movie. I
swear I watch this movie whenever it’s
broadcast. I
was once an hour late picking up a girl for our date, because I sat in
front of
the tv watching
this movie.
I think it may have something to do with the fact that I was just a
young
unknowing kid when I first saw it. Johhny Utah
and Bodhi. Such
fantastic
action adventure names. "To those dead souls inching along the
freeway in their metal coffins we show them that the human spirit is
still
alive." Always put an interesting spin on time wasted while sitting in
traffic. It’s such a lame movie, but it's
just
nostalgic and fun for me

1) Fight Club [this movie changed my life]
2) Seven
3) Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels [i
love the interweving, parallel, interweving
storylines of Guy Ritchie. better than snatch, by a little.]
4) Lord of the Rings:
5) Ronin
6) Hard Boiled
7) Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust [does anime count? well, i
hope so. it has characterization, beautiful scenery, and one of the
greatest
scenes of true love i have ever seen.
check it out]
8) Enter the Dragon [bruce lee = god.]
9) Willow [ya know, come to think of it,
this movie
probably belongs somewhere before #9. absolutely spectacular.]
10) Tron [just because i'm
running out of movies here, but this movie was great nonetheless. the
metaphor
between real life and video games used in the story is unequaled in
creativity.]
