[1] - List your top 50 Movies.
[2] - Try to list in order of importance. (my Top 10 is in order but the rest are just listed because it's too hard to put all these in order of greatness)
[3] - Supply photos/stills/poster for said movies.

La Vita E Bella (Life is Beautiful)

I honestly don't think I'll see another movie in my entire life that will affect me this way this one did. This is the most PERFECTLY put together film I've ever seen. I think I cried a total of 546796464186464 times while watching this. I cry every single time I watch it. I can't help it. It's simply beautiful. It depicts the human spirit in a way that screams with unselfishness.

The Color Purple

The 2nd most perfect movie of all time. Spielberg is a cinematic genius of course, but The Color Purple almost makes me think he sold his soul to the devil to be able to make a film this powerful. And dear GOD I can't believe how amaxing Whoopi freakin Goldberg is in this. What happened to her?!?

The Shawshank Redemption

I still can't believe Stephen King wrote this one. (Yeah you heard me right; Stephen King wrote the short story this was adapted from; the director, Frank Darabont wrote the screenplay). This film will forever be timeless. It has a total vintage feeling; like you almost believe it was made in the year it takes place. This film is PURE art.

Goodfellas

My FAVORITE gangster movie EVER. God this movie makes me want to join the Mob the way it glamorizes it. Scorsese freaking rules and I don't think he'll EVER top this one. It's put together perfectly. The whole montage towards the end with Henry Hill being all paranoid about the helicopter following him is PRICELESS.

Batman Begins

This movie has the BEST "Words of Wisdom" lines I've ever heard. Even if they did come from Michael Caine and not from Christian Bale. Plus it's beautiful to watch. I find myself putting this in about once every week or 2. I can't get enough of it. AND the score is amazing.

Empire of the Sun

Another Spielbergian goody. I didn't see this until about 4 years ago for the first time. I think it was the only Spielberg movie I hadn't seen at the time. (Scratch that; I still haven't seen Amistad.) Could the little itty bitty Christian Bale be cuter than the adult version? The answer is yes. That kid should have won an Oscar for this one. This movie is a visual masterpiece. genius.

Jaws

Yep. Spielberg again. Also his first GOOD film, lol. This is another one I put in to watch about once every 2 weeks. How can you love movies and not love Jaws? It's the mother of all horror movies in my opinion. Well minus everything Hitchcock did. And M. Night comes in third.

Office Space

The best comedy I've ever seen, and the only comedy in my Top 10. One of the most UNDERRATED films of all time. It was an underground sleeper hit for sure. I can't believe how many people I encounter that are like "Oh I've never seen it." Everyone in the world that doesn't totally HATE their job or at least hates something about their job will relate to this film. We've all had a job that we loathed. And even though this film is about office jobs, it doesn't matter. Anyone that's ever had ANY kind of job will get it. Total comedic masterpiece.

The Greatest Game Ever Played

One of the few films I went to go see and had ABSOLUTELY NO DESIRE TO SEE IT AT ALL. A movie about golf?!?! WTF?!?! I went to see it because my husband wanted to see it. And I walked out thinking HOLY SHIT this movie kicked total ass. And it proves that Bill Paxton is a way better director than an actor.

When Harry Met Sally

Ok, the only romantic comedy in my Top 10. I just love this movie. It's so cute and happy. Nothing majorly great about it. It's not epic or anything. It doesn't give me goosebumps and it doesn't make me cry, but it's one of the best quotable films. And it always puts me in a good mood.

AND NOW FOR THE REST......

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
