First of all, it's impossible to make a list of top 10 songs or movies. But if I had to, I would include these.

Cinema Paradiso
Hoosiers
Stripes
Ran
The Deer Hunter
Donnie Darko
Rushmore
Harold and Maude
Adaptation
Hable con ella (Talk to Her)

I would also consider adding American Psycho as a wildcard pick and the Paris Hilton tape for good measure.

-Rudey

So do I. I just had to take some out to add some, but I like most of those movies.

Rudey is top-tier.

With a cherry on top.

I LOVE The Women!!!! That has to be one of the all time great campy movies!! I was also going to mentin Brian's Song, but I ran out of room. :(

Keep in mind that only Academy nominated flims are top tier.

A parody of a parody?

Hoosiers is great, as are Stripes and Rushmore. I agree though, it's difficult to pare anything down to a Top 10 or even Top 20.

Awful sock puppet - people should apply for a license for these things.

Also, Rudey - although I dig them both, I'd probably put Eternal Sunshine in front of Adaptation, even though it's been labeled 'romantic comedy' . . . while both are brilliantly written, I think I got more out of the actual film.

Adaptation was darker, more twisted, and more witty to me.

Eternal Sunshine was his attempt at appealing to a more commercial audience. It was a good film, but nothing amazing.

I either like movies that are extremely simple and light or brutally dark. My psychiatrist is worried by this.

This is Spinal Tap
Labyrinth
Full Metal Jacket
Gone With The Wind
