The top 100 films(Fall 2009 edition) - Part 8

I apologies for the week entries this week, hopefully the entries for next week will be more up to par.

30.Monty Python And the Holy Grail(1975)
Director: Terry Gilliam & Terry Jones
Mother Fraking Monty Python. Easily the most commonly loved comedy of all time.


29.Ferris Bueller's Day off(1986)
Director: John Hughes
If there is one classic movie that can properly put teenage lifestyle into perspective, it is Ferris. Come see Alan Ruckman, some chick no one remembers, and Matthew Broderick.

28.Lion King(1994)
Director: Roger Allers & Rob Minkoff
This is the quintessential 90's animated film. Interesting Characters. Great musical numbers. If you aren't hooked into this story you need to stop watching movies because you are wrong.



27.Psycho(1960)
Director: Alfred Hitchcock
This is Hitchcock's masterpiece. It defies Horror conventions and set the bar for decades to come. You'll never look at a shower the same way again.

26.Eternal Sunshine of the spotless Mind(2004)
Director: Michel Gondry
I might call it a love story in reverse. But at the same time it inspires you to reflect upon your own tales and adventures and self examine.


25.Finding Nemo(2003)
Director: Andrew Stanton and Lee Unkrich
It's adorable.


24.Charlie Bartlett(2007)
Director: Jon Poll
I'll take flak for this as well. I think all of the casting in this movie is amazing, and the story is absolutely engaging.


23.Sunshine Cleaning(2008)
Director: Christine Jeffs
I really liked this movie. It a number of ways it suprised me and I didn't expect it to turn out the way it did. I was very impressed.

22.Chinatown(1974)
Director: Roman Polanski
"Forget it Jake, it's Chinatown."


21.Guess Who's Coming to Dinner(1967)
Director: Stanley Kramer
Not what you were expecting was it?
This is such an amazing film. It is a masterpiece far beyond Citizen Kane. It tackles so many issues that are still relevant today(and if you don't think they are relevant you are not paying attention to your world). The world and movie developed here are engrossing and you won't be able to stop watching. Sidney Poitier delivers one of the best acting performances in a film. Period.
