I think I'll put my top favorite movies in no particular order. I'll try to keep to ones people haven't mentioned so most are animations but they're still awesome.

1. Persepolis

2. Iron Giant

3. The Lion King or Kimba The White Lion

4. How to Train Your Dragon, Megamind, Monsters vs. Aliens, or the first Shrek. Aka Dreamworks at it's finest.

5. Pretty much any movie by Hayao Miyazaki, though I'm not a big fan of Ponyo

6. Fight Club

7. Original Star Wars

8. All of the Jurassic Parks (just even the second one with Jeff Goldbloom, it was part of my childhood, what can I say)

9. Pulp Fiction

10. Harry Potter (any one of them)

11. Metropolis (the 1927 film and the anime version from 2001)

12. The Dark Knight

13. Inception

14. All Dogs Go to Heaven (yes a movie with obvious religious meanings and some indoctrination, but again childhood movie and I can still watch it as pure fiction.)

15. Any pre-Rock-a-Doodle(1991) Don Bluth movie, this includes Land Before Time and The Secret of NIMH both of which are beautifully animated with good stories.

I just realized I forgot Forrest Gump. It's the only movie I've ever cried while watching. The scene where Forrest is talking to Jenny over her grave gets me every time.

I loved/hated Taming of the Shrew. I loved the actors and acting. Not the message so much.

No Country for Old Men - and read the book.

The Kids are Alright - and buy all the albums.

Godfathers A and B - and make pasta.

Mystic River - and beat someone to death with a baseball bat. And read the book.

Seven Samurai/Magnificent Seven - and revel in the similarities of two disparate cultures.
