    Totally agree. One of the most underrated films of all time.

    Mine:

    1. Little Shop of Horrors (1986)
    2. The Last Boyscout
    3. Ghostbusters
    4. Blame It On Rio
    5. King Kong (2005)
    6. Clerks 2
    7. Gattaca
    8. Aladdin
    9. The Burbs
    10. The Lost World: Jurassic Park

    Honorable mention: pretty much ANYTHING from Woody Allen or Kevin Smith, the Spider-Man movies, George Romero's Living Dead Quadrilogy(?), the Menken-scored Disney musicals (Mermaid, Beauty & Beast, Hercules)...

    So much stuff I love.

    to the cheaters, i said 10 and only 10!! :mad: :D

    that's what makes it soo hard. My DVD collection is like at around 120 right now and that's not including the Asian/HK/Korean movies i own/download. trying to narrow it down is hard, and rewarding, at the same time.

    I came up with this late last night b/c I just finished watching Infernal Affairs 3 for the fourth time this summer. I must say...it's a damn good sequel. I haven't seen Infernal Affairs 2 yet (gonna watch it today or tomorrow) but I can easily put this trilogy up there w/ the best of them.

    I haven't seen the Godfather trilogy yet so don't burn me at the stake for not having it on my list. I prefer to view it and make my own judgement...although I am pretty sure I will love it.

    I'm glad to see a lot of LOTR:TTT fans here.

    I can't believe I forgot Dawn of The Dead. Those movies and the Evil Dead series I watched over and over again. I even have the Fangoria Tom Savini tribute, where he shares how they did most of the effects in the Romero movies. Great Choice!

    I was going to and had seriously considered it but I've only seen it twice. It's difficult for me to think of a movie as Top 10 or 20 when it hasn't passed the multiple watchability test. I have a feeling that it will be up there for me eventually.
