In no particular order and "very" subject to change the more I think about titles.

Send me the ones you think should be included. seansshack@oceanfree.net  

1) The Shawshank Redemption (so under rated it isn't funny)

2) Jaws (the first summer blockbuster, expert filmmaking)

3) One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest (perfect acting with a perfect cast)

4) Saving Private Ryan (THE anti war film, super visuals)

5) Glengarry Glen Ross (The working class movie, fantastic performances; Jack Lemmon is a god)

6) Pirates of the Caribbean (Depp is amazing; best three dimensional performance ever, fun for all the family)

7) Schlinder's List (Heart wrenching, masterful story telling. Spielberg shows us all how it should be done; a work of passion)

8) Raiders of the lost ark (The definitive action movie and Ford's finest hour)

9) Star Wars (Bettered by Empire as a movie, but the Movie that changed cinema for ever)

10) High Fidelity (Cusack has amazed me from the first second he appeared on the Silver screen and this is his finest film; Jack Black in his funniest role).
