20. Drag me To Hell
Directed by Sam Raimi
I've been preaching this movie for months. It is the first great horror movie this decade. If you are a fan of horror, or horror comedy, you owe it to your self to see this film. The blood is minimal, the movie is even rated PG-13 but it works in it's favor. This has my total seal of approval.
19.The Empire Strikes Back(1980)
Director: Irvin Kershner
The only Star Wars Film I like on its own. I find Hope boring and cliche, Jedi is predictable, Menace only had good fight scenes, Clones was convoluted, and Sith was dark and edgy but still completely reliant on the previous films. Empire holds up and is a great film it it's own right.
18.Memento(2000)
Director: Christopher Nolan
I can not sing enough praise for the ground this film broke open. It is worth at least two viewings to bring in all of the visual information.
17.Gran Torino(2008)
Director: Clint Eastwood
17. (tied) Dirty Harry
I couldn't choose just one Clint film. They are both great and deeply fascinating. Check Em out.
16. Up(2009)
Director:
An absolute pixar classic. It will have you crying, laughing and feeling genuine emotions for these chracters you know for only a few minutes.
15.Casablanca(1942)
Director: Michael Curtiz
An opus of original thought.
14.Kiss Kiss Bang Bang(2005)
Director: Shane Black
A throw back to the great classic noir and action movies of the ages. Also Robert Downey Jr. is hilarious in it.
13.Princess Bride(1987)
Director: Rob Reiner
You haven't seen this movie? INCONCEIVABLE. Go now! STOP READING THIS. GO. It's that worth it.
12.Seven Samurai(1954)
Director: Akira Kurosawa
Absolutely Perfect.
11. Kiki’s Delivery Service(tied)
This is really the single best animated film you will see. No Joke. It is really impressive just how layered this film is. Plus dirigible.
11.Mi Familia(1995)
Director: Gregory Nava
The movie is sometimes titled My Family. It stars Jimmy Smits, Edward James Olmos, and Esai Morales. If those three won't get you into seats to watch a movie then you again might want to consider a different medium for your viewing pleasure.
