Hrmmm... at first i didn't even think i could come up with five, but now i have like 20 but i'll only post my 10, so here goes.

1) Hackers-  my favorite movie ever.  I can watch it over and over and never get bored.  Besides, Angelina Jolie is so hot, and she can act.   It also didn't have any cheezy diaglogue normally found in movies that stars teenagers.  It's almost epic.  I  can't believe no else, especially from here, has included this on their list.

2) Riding In Cars With Boys- I know this is a "chick flick" however, Drew Barrymore's character is strikingly similar to my mother, it loosely paradies her life and my own in a way.  It really hit home with me and nearly brought a tear to my eye. (nearly, but didn't).

3) The Craft- Magic mixed with girls who have pms; what more could you ask for?  Seriously though, it's very well acted, but sort of hits that teen drama bull,  thankfully it follows more into the occult.  I also can watch this movie over and over.

4)  Donnie Darko-  Great plot and great acting.  It's very clever too.  Jake Gyllenhal is a great actor and versatile at that.

5) Ever After- Another Barrymore flick. What can I say, I'm a fan of the Drew.  Plus, I love the Middle Ages in Enlgand.  If I could choose any time period to live in it definitely would have been in the Middle Ages in England. Of course I would have air-conditioning, so maybe not.

7) Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory-  This movie is great.  One of the first movies i can remeber watching. I wanted to crawl inside my tv and eat all the candy.  I can't wait for the remake with one of my favorite actors, Johnny Depp, and my favorite director, Tim Burton.

8) Girl, Interrupted- Winnona Ryder, Angelina Jolie, and Brittany Murphy all in one film.  This movie was just great... I don't know how to explain it, but it's very intelligent.  The acting was magnificent, of course anything Winnona does is great.

9)The Others-  it moves really slow and for a purported ghost movie, you never really see"ghosts" (or so you think)but the acting is great, and I was especially shocked how well the children in the movie acted.  They were just as good, if not better than some seasoned professionals in the biz.  The plot twist is what put this movie up here. If you haven't seen it i recommend you do before asking someone what the movie was about. It really is a piece of work.

10) GATTACA-  this movie was great.  you have to see it if you haven't.  Uma Thurman rocks my socks.

On a side note, if you haven't seen "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" go see it.  Even though it's a remake, it's very good.  Much better than you're average gore/shocker film, and much better than the first two IMO.

*doesn't really like the idea of Depp playing Wonka*  Sorry, but he just can't fill Gene Wilder's shoes...

I agree it was a very good movie, even though it is sickenly twisted

Nobody can replace Wonka, even a talented actor such as Depp.

Gene Wilder has to be my favorite actor, even though I've only seen two of his movies (Willy Wonka and Young Frankenstein).  My favorite part of Willy Wonka is at the end where Wonka just totally wigs out at the grandpa dude.  Gene is good at flipping out.  That's why he's cool.  *Give Gene a cookie*

Bill, I can understand why you would worry about a classic being badly remade.  BUT, since it's Tim Burton directing I'm not worried.  He hasn't done a single film that has disappointed me.  People seriously questioned his choice of making Michael Keaton Batman before the first film was released, but I think those were the best films in the series.  Also, Johnny Depp can be surprisingly flexible in his acting.  If anyone can pull it off, I think Tim Burton can.  I think it will take on even more weirdness than the original in a good way.  I wonder what the Oompa Loompas will be like.

Depp will do a great job.  I enjoy most of his work, and he's very versatile.


I dont like the idea of a 'Texas chainsaw' remake, but maybe i'll see it.  And if you want to talk horrible movies-Freddie got fingered.  Very painful, but since i'm a masochist, i watched the whole thing.

Ms. Pikmin - I'm not worried about the movie being bad, I just feel that a lot of the magic will be lost...Wilder was a magical actor, he was

Oooooh... movies.  In no particular order...
1- Star Wars series... the whole thing
2- Equilibrium... fricking awesome!  
3- Gattaca
4- Red Dawn
5- Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
6- Unbreakable
7- Air Force One
8- Mission: Impossible 1 & 2
9- Godzilla vs. Mothra
10- tough choice, this last one is... Totally the Back to the Future series!!

Edit:  I think maybe I should bump Bill and Ted in favor of Blazing Saddles!  How could I forget!?

Bill and Ted's Excellent adventure?  That movie sucked. :\  People say it was good because it sucked (you know...'hahah!  That's so bad! HAHAH!), but that's not the case.  It just plain sucked.

It was keanu's (sp?) first movie, so he sucked more than usual. :\

basically anything by tarantino (jackie brown, pulp fiction, resivoir dogs, kill bill)
the el mariache trilogy by rodriguez (el mariache, desperado, once upon a time in mexico)
the monty python movies (life of brian, holy grail my two favorites)
boondock saints- just a cool movie- one for everyone to watch
the usual suspects- this move just out and out rocks- you should see it if you have yet to see it
pi- strange movie, but very good
requiem for a dream- very stylish and very well done- usually found in a box set with pi- both movies are good
anything by shyamalan (unbreakable, 6th sense, signs)
gladiator- very good movie
anything by christopher guest (spinal tap, waiting for guffman, best in show, a mighty wind)

Unbreakable was a pretty good movie, but I watched it in school so it probably lost alot of it's....goodness....

I REALLY want to see the sixth sense.....it was actually the movie we were going to watch in school, but my teacher changed her mind (wonder why....? )

A Guy Thing and Heartbreakers were funny movies. . . I wasn't so sure that Heartbreakers would be, but it turned out pretty good.
Cowboy Bebop is also good, and I tend to like that Miyazaki dude (correct spelling?). . . anyway, the guy that made Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke. . . My Neighbor Totoro?  Yeah, him.

I have many movies to see. . . best get started.

Someone else has actually seen that movie?  I loved The Producers.  It's Mel Brooks' best film in my opinion.

*pictures Bill's face like his avatar*

WEIRDED OUT!  I have a feeling you'll scare me more than the movie......let's not watch it together.

Nobody has told me the ending of the sixth sense.  I actually know little about it, but it's supposed to be really good, and I really like the director (don't know his name, couldn't spell it if I did).
