Bold the ones you have seen
Put an asterisk after the movie title* if you really liked it.
Cross it out if you saw a film and really disliked it.
Underline the ones you own.
Adding: italicize the ones you really want to see.

9. Die Hard (1988)
10. Moulin Rouge (2001) I remember sitting next to a sobbing man during the pivotal scene of tragedy and just thinking how much the central romance failed for me in this film. I felt more sympathy for the damn attempted-rapist Duke ffs.

39. The Sixth Sense (1999)
40. Speed (1994)

45. Rain Man (1988)
47. Men in Black (1997)

62. sex, lies and videotape (1989)
63. Big (1988)
64. No Country For Old Men (2007)*
65. Dirty Dancing (1987) Yet more horrible portrayals of romance with an incomprehensibly universal following that has me questioning the state of my ovaries.
66. Natural Born Killers (1994)
67. Donnie Brasco (1997)
68. Witness (1985) (Peter Weir! I'm glad he made the list twice; the man deserves it)

98. The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)
99. The Blair Witch Project (1999)
100. South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut (1999)
I feel that Entertainment Weekly's list of the top movies of the last 25 years is pointedly lacking in the Miyazaki love. I mean, Shrek over Spirited Away or Princess Mononoke or any Studio Ghibli movie? Really? It's a pretty damn American list, although expecting something globally reaching would have been ridiculous given Ent. Wkly is a US publication.
