49.     Rear Window
    This movie primarily takes place in one apartment building, but somehow Hitchcock was able to convey so much nerve-racking suspense. Jimmy Stewart (one of my favorite actors of all time) is wheelchair bound, and through his binoculars he could swear a man in the next door apt. just murdered his wife. But he has no proof!

50.     Red Dawn
    This movie was made when the Cold War was still brewing, and it touches on a really intruiging notion. What if the Russians invaded the US? Here, the Soviets land somewhere in the Rockies and take over a high school to set up a Bolshevik headquarter. There's plenty of bloodshed as they massacre a ton of people. So guess who has to kick the Russian's asses? Yes, Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen! Thought I was gonna say Sylvester Stallone, eh? Chuckle.

51.     Revenge Of The Nerds
    Huh huh huh. Man, that nerd laugh is fucking funny. Remember Revenge of the Nerds? Who can forget it? The naked picture at the bottom of the pie, the Darth Vader seduction, Lambda Lambda Lambda, the violin+keyboard scene, Booger.......... man, I 'm getting sentimental.

52.     Reversal Of Fortune
    Yet another law movie! This movie made me worship Alan Dershowitz like a demigod. He took on the case of Claus Von Bulow, who is accused of putting his wife into a coma. The odds seem stacked against him, but in the end Dershowitz and his crew bail him out. Based on a true story.

53.     Rob Roy
    Liam Neeson was just as badass here as he was in The Phantom Menace. He was all beat up and then forced to duel w/ Tim Roth using a heavy broadsword vs. Roth's light epee (a sword for fencing). So Rob Roy is knocked down, and Tim Roth is about to finish him off, when all of a sudden Rob Roy grabs the epee blade, hand cut open and bleeding profusely, and since Tim Roth can't budge his sword, w/ his off hand Rob Roy gets his broadsword and slices Tim Roth halfway through. One of the best swordfights ever.

54.     Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
    First and foremost Who Framed Roger Rabbit was a technological marvel, smoothly blending live action with animation. But what sets this apart from the other crappier live action+animation movies like Cool World is that it had a riveting plot and characters we loved. Roger Rabbit was freakin funny, and Jessica Rabbit was plain voluptuous. I still remember looking at the infamous still frame of Jessica Rabbit wearing no underwear and going ahhh, yeah............ hentai..........

55.     Schindler's List
    One of the most important movies of all time and also the zenith of Steven Spielberg's accomplishments, Schindler's List tells the tale of one man's quest to save the Jews from mass extermination, albeit w/ initial reluctance. Schindler was a Nazi and true blue German, but he just couldn't stand the death going on. The Holocaust is one of the most tragic events in human history. Yet no one truly knows what it felt like to be a Jew during the Holocaust. Only the survivors at the end of Schindler's List that put a rock on Schindler's tomb. Only they know what it's like to live in mortal fear.

56.     Se7en
    Damn, this movie was sick. But it's because of this gruesomeness that this movie was so haunting. A serial killer is hellbent on showing how fucked up the world is by performing the 7 deadly sins on other people. Like for gluttony, the guy was forced to eat until his stomach exploded. And the end was a total ironic shocker. A great movie by David Finch.

57.     Shakespeare In Love
    Another one of Rice's recommendations, and I wholeheartedly agree. This movie charmed me down to my last bone w/ its witty allegories and inside jokes about Shakespeare. Plus Joseph Fiennes delivered such a nuanced, quirky performance. He was definitely snubbed at the Oscars.

58.     Singin' In The Rain
    I happen to be a closet musical fan. I reluctantly cut out Grease and Mary Poppins from my list. But I refused to touch Singin' In The Rain because it's one of the most hilarious takes on the whole Hollywood thing ever. Plus it had some of the best singing and dancing sequences of Gene Kelly's career.

59.     South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut
    This one goes out to Kansur, a fellow South Park nut. This movie also happens to be the funniest movie of last year, skewering our hypocritic, politically correct society under the disguise of a sweet Disney/Broadway musical. It also had some of the most ornate, baroque cussings I've ever heard. Donkey-raping shit eater! Chuckle.

60.     The Spanish Prisoner
    This movie employs what Hitchcock's calls an "MacGuffin" so effectively that it drives you mad at the end of the film. A MacGuffin, like the suitcase in Ronin, is a certain object or idea that affects every character in the story, but we don't ever know what it is. We just know everyone's after that MacGuffin, and it's central to the plot. Here, the MacGuffin is this miraculous "process" formulated by some genius in some field and everyone's after this process. See how maddening it is?

61.     Spartacus
    Still my favorite gladiator movie. Kirk Douglas plays the man who dared to lead an uprising against the powerful Roman Empire. Although the fight scenes pale in comparison to the ones in Gladiator, the overall epic story is much more engaging.

Trivia question: You know who directed this?

Answer: Stanley Kubrick

62.     Saving Private Ryan
    This movie has some of the most disturbing wartime scenes ever put on film. The storming of Omaha Beach on D-day looked way more terrifying than what we read in our history books. Saving Private Ryan is a real poignant testament to all the courageous soldier who fought in America's wars to preserve the democracy and way of life we take for granted. Most of us see Veteran's Day and Memorial Day as just three day weekends w/o school. But really they're days to honor all those who fought and died for the United States of America. God Bless them.

63.     Swingers
    This is the quintessential guy movie. It's all about clubbing, flirting, and guy bonding. Like Maxim magazine come to life. =) The loveable lugs in Swingers teach you how to play the game and nab those chicks. Of course there's the shy one who's committed already, and then the mack daddy, and the party animal. There are some awesome lines in here that I won't reveal. If you're a guy, watch Swingers. Heh heh. And try swing dancing too. It's a lot of fun and girls dig it. I sucked at it when I took a class. Therefore I got no game. Avenge me guys.......... avenge me...........

64.     The Crow
    The Crow was the last movie Brandon Lee, Bruce Lee's son, was in. He was killed on the set by a gun. Pretty sad. Is there really a curse on Bruce Lee and his family? I doubt it. I think it was just an accident. Anyway, thanks to the miracle of digital technology, Brandon Lee was re-inserted into the movie and finished the scenes. And you know what? I couldn't even tell. This dark and brooding tale of a murder victim coming back to avenge his death somehow seems like the perfect one to end Brandon Lee's career.

65.     Top Gun
    As a kid, I wanted to be like Tom Cruise's maverick, a daring fighter jet pilot who is too damn gifted to be accepted by his superiors. Dunno why I liked F-14s so much. There's something about soaring thousands of feet in the air in an airborne killing machine that's freakin thrilling.

66.     Under Siege
    Steven Seagal is such a fast killing machine. In all his movies he's a great martial artist and has MacGyver-like instincts. Under Siege is probably my favorite Steven Seagal movie. It has a little bit of everything. Knife throwing, machine guns, manual killing, and a awesome strip tease by former Playmate and ex-Baywatch star Erika Eleniak.

67.     The Usual Suspects
    Who is Keyser Soze? That name still sends a shiver down my spine, because he is the most enigmatic, scariest villain ever. We never really get a good look at him. We never meet him. He's just an evil, invisible force. He's the devil himself probably. A great script that makes you have to watch the movie over and over so you can pick up all the little hints that pointed to the shokcing conclusion.

68.     Willow
    Did you know George Lucas produced this? No wonder the special effects were so awesome, particular that of the brownies that inhabit the forests. I believe brownies and pixies are a Druid belief........ not sure. This is the last fantasy movie you'll have to hear me rave about. I apologize for the preponderance of them on my list. =)

69.     Young Guns
    I used to be a Billy The Kid buff but now I've forgotten everything. Still, Young Guns was one awesome western featuring some of the hottest 20 something talents of its time. This was the first movie I saw w/ Emilio Estevez I think. Check that, it was St. Elmo's Fire or something.

    If you like westerns, check out Young Guns and its sequel. It's about the notorious Billy The Kid, the wanted bandit that no sheriff in the West could capture. In fact, we never really know what happened to Billy The Kid. Everything's the stuff of legend.
