1.) Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, because of the great effects, best out of the trilogy if you ask me.

2.) LOTR: The Return of the King, because it really gets you thinking about Earth's Middle Age, or it did for me anyway.

3.) Master and Commander the Far Side of the World, because of the history that surrounds the movie plot itself.

4.) Godsend, because in a way it shows the pros and cons of cloning.

5.) Sky High, because SUPER HEROES ARE REAL!!!!! (lol) Nah, but I'm not sure why, I just thought it was a great movie for a whole family to enjoy.

Man, thats going to be hard....


1: Independence day
2: The lost world: Jurassic park
3: Die Hard: with a vengeance
4: There's Something about mary
5: Blade


Its hard to choose betwen Comedy's, Action, Horror and SciFi's. becasue the LOTR trilogy, the Star wars second trilogy and the amtrix Trilogy go just as high as Die Hard.

1) Gladiator-Just because that movie is so good and I love Russel Crowe! Great story and acting.

2) Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith-One of the best ones since The Empire Strikes Back and it was just very good in general, especially compared to the last 2 movies. Hayden Christensen's acting improved and the special effects and fight scenes were excellent.

3) Star Trek: First Contact-Best Star Trek movie in my opinion. It was just very good. Good storyline, suspenceful. Had the Borg which was cool and had good special effects. The whole fight scene with the fleet in the beginning was awesome!

4) Clue-The movie is a classic and is just so damn funny and all of the actors were hilarious in their parts, especially Madeline Khan and Tim Currey.

5) Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back-The best Star Wars movie out of the original 3 in my opinion. I love all of the Star Wars movies except for Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. But this one was pretty good.

and there are so many more, lol. But those were some good movies,

1. American Beauty - Everytime I watch this movie I like it even more. It's original, and most of today's movies are generic and boring.

(and in no particular order:)

Donnie Darko - Another interesting and original movie. It took the chance of being tacky and badly done, but instead it was neat and intense.

The Sixth Sense - The whole ghost thing always seems to be overdone, but it worked out to be original in this movie. It was also the only movie to ever really scare me.

Meet Joe Black - I think this movie is totally underrated. It has a lot to offer.

Breakfast at Tiffanys - Who can't love Audrey in this?

The Bodyguard - Don't really know why, rented it once and watched it seven times, And the story was sad, and I'm... odd, so...

The Patriot - Mel Gibson was great in that movie. The story was also really good, even the Frenchy bit!

We Were Soldiers - Mel Gibson again. It was just a fantastic movie. Very emotional.

Roman Holiday - Does "classic" mean anything to you? Audrey Hepburn is fascinating, I mean, doing this as her first movie? She's def my fav actress ever.

Enemy at the Gates - Totally unpredictable. I think the last two scenes in the movie are the best, especially since you don't expect it to end quite that way.
