My top 20 films.

I have always wanted to sit down and think about movies, I love movies more then most anything really. So if i was asked to name some of my favorite films it would take alot of thinking.
I Dont know if i could ever really list them in order but i do want to try and attempt some type of Top 20 favorite films. So Here is my list i have tried to put together, No matter what something will always beforgotten, or just over looked. But this is what came to mind.

1. A Clockwork Orange (1971) One of the main films I list when someone ask's "What is the best" It has some of the most twisted and greatest acting in any film and the world that we are forced to live in seems like it could be a twisted day away.
   
2. Night of the Living Dead (1968) Normally this is the first film I spit out of my mouth as being my favorite film of all time, It is Zombies. It is my childhood scare. My adventure and just great film making that left a spot in my heart. Easy, Simple, Amazing. With this said, You can kind of see my list is not in a real order.
   
3. Let the Right One In (2008) A vampire tale with some coming of ageness mixed in with a dark undertone and a twisted and cold tale that always catches my interest. Its so good it is already receiving an American remake later this year (Titled Let me in)
   
4. Children of Men (2006) Talk about a scary thought. Talk about a beautiful yet close world, Amazing camera work and pure rad acting. Keeping with my love for dark films, This also gives us hope in all the fear it builds with it. Nothing is wrong in this movie.
   
5. Pan's Labyrinth (2006) I have noticed i seem to really love Dark toned movies. I love the world they are set in and the hope they may give us or take from us. The story of a little girl on the edge of losing all hope. The world we travel to in this fantasy film is scary yet beautiful and Del toro shows he can do great work without Hollywood.
   
6. Scream (1996) One if the first movies i learned everyline to. I loved it that much. The opening scene with the "star" was a nice twist in a time with no twists, Which set up the killer at the end for a nice big oooh my god moment, Plus it was so funny and realistic to me, I know alot of people will never put this on a list of best of. But its on mine.
   
7. Shaun of the Dead (2004) British humor at its best. Everyone can enjoy Zombies when Simon Pegg is bashing their brains in with a cricket bat. Pure Awesome horror action comedy.
   
8. The Graduate (1967) This movie was something i remember seeing parodys of as i grew up but never saw it until college. But this has aged so well. With a wonderful soundtrack and a great Star, Its uneasy story is slowly rubbing your hand as it reaches to take advantage of you. Let it.
   
9. Toy Story (1995) Childhood, Plain and simple. This is also the time i can say, A trilogy could easily take up 3 spots on my list, But i figured I would just place the one that started it all. But also Go see Toy Story 3, As it could easily be the best film of 2010.
   
10. The Lion King (1994) I remember this as the movie that i learned to swim so i could see it. Also one of the few films i saw with my dad, Of course it also has one of the saddest moments in any movie ever. I was one heart broken little guy watching this film. It hasnt aged bad at all, Still love the music to this day.
    
11. The Wrestler (2008) This movie seemed to surprise everyone that watched it. Pro Wrestling has one of the biggest slices to my life. With this movie it made it more enjoyable that i still love watching Pro wrestling when i can, They give their all and it does effect them. The camera work, The soundtrack, the acting(Mickey is pure gold) The end leaves something to think about, Fantastic.
    
12. Spirited Away (2001) Dont like Anime do ya? Well even if that maybe the case i still say you must give Hayo a chance with Spirited Away, The world, the colors, the story and cast of lovable or hate able characters is Animation at its best. Anime at its best.
    
13. Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)I'm not 100% sure but i think this was the first R rated film i ever watched. Seeing his skin peel away...The eye of something not of this time. A bodyguard anyone would kill for. Wild adventure of survival. Crazy super-villain that still freaks me to this day. CGI still looks good to me. Nice Nod to the first film as well.
    
14. Dawn of the Dead (1978) Some people say it is the best zombie film, Best Romero film, Best horror film...Best film. And ya know i can easily agree it is among the best of all of that. It could easily be my favorite sequel of all time. Creepy...Different cuts of the film add to the different views you could give the movie as well.
    
15. Remember the Titans(2000) My favorite sports film of all time, I love football and i love the coming of age, Becoming a family, Fighting as one. Story that is told with some of the best acting ever. I just cant hate on this movie. Some may disagree but this story is wonderful.
    
16. The Dark Knight(2008) I really wanted to stay away from being a total geek but Im sorry i just cant pass on one of the greatest villains of all time. Chris gave us a perfect gotham In my mind. Its tragic we wont see Ledger again or the Joker of this caliber but he left us with one of the best "Other halfs" you could think of, it still makes me said that The real star of the film wasnt better but everything else in the movie was perfect.
    
17. Léon (The Professional) (1994) Easily Reno's best film. And Portman makes her career at an early age. Just for both of them its a must watch. The best French film ever.
    
18. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) Jim's best role. He can still breath being who he was to begin with but we also get to see an amazing new persona that i just fell in love with. The idea behind the movie...Heartbreaking and mind blowing. Also one of the best romantic films ever.
19. Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father(2008) Real story. Real film making. Real heartache. Best documentary ever. Beat out Murderball(also a fantastic film) But if you do not cry....Give this film a shot. I will be honest with you i cried like a little girl. Tragic story but told in such an amazing show of film making.
20. Ghostbusters(1984) Who ya gunna call? best team ever on screen? Most likely. The cast gelled so well that the script could have been crap and the film still would be awesome, But of course it is a great script/story and the music and cgi are both some of the best, specially for the time. I still love Staypuft to this day. I remember watching this movie all the time as a kid, I still enjoy a viewing yearly without doubt.

Well That was my top 20 films, As i went on i noticed stuff i didnt put on the list which i have no doubt you have noticed as well, What are your favorite movies?

If i was to keep on going of course i would have to add Jurassic Park, Star Wars, Jaws, King Kong, Lord of the rings, Back to the future, Oldboy, Princess Bride, Godfather, Goodfellas, Wizard of Oz, Rear Window, North by Northwest, A tale of two sisters, 2001: A space odyssey, Aliens, ET, Blade Runner, Rocky, Mad Max, Evil Dead, Idle Hands, Milo and Oddis, Homeward bound.

And so on.... I film as if i could take something off my list and put one of these on it as well. But this is the list i put together for now.

On a sidenote, I have seen every movie on my list at least two times.
