Top Movies Add to the list!

Requiem fo a Dream
By far one of the greatest and least talked about movies of our time i'm sure you are all fans and if you have yet been privileged to see it go get it!

American Psycho
The name says it all a great look at the true psychos in this world.

Jarhead
A great look at the state of war.

So many more i could add but those 3 are enough for a start
Add to the list as you wish im always looking for a good movie to watch.

1. Sunset Boulevard
2. All About Eve
3. Citizen Kane
4. Harold & Maude
5. Save The Tiger
6. The Exorcist/The Omen
7. Lifeboat
8. Cabaret
9. Close Encounters of the Third Kind/Jaws
10. The Wizard of Oz/The Godfather/Bridge on the River Kwai

Being an entertainment insider these are generally accepted to be the greatest films of all time based on writer/director/cast. These are all influential films which changed film making in each genre and these films became the mark of which film makers judge from.

If you are "in" the business you will know what I am talking about- if you watch these films and memorize them then you will know what everyone who is "in" the biz are talking about! Lots of "industry lingo" comes from these films- most of it actually.

Ok, my top movies:

1)I Am Legend
2)Live Free Or Die Hard
3)Mr. Smith Goes To Washington (Black & White)
4)Jumper
5)Transformers
6)It's a Wonderful Life (Black & White)



I seem to like movie with amazing action and at the same time i like some black and white moves like mr. smith goes to washington.

James stewart makes his movies have a special "thing" that he brought to them.
