You've just moved up a notch in my book. You realize the book was written by a dumas? |

One of my two favorite books read in school and this is my favorite movie all time. The version with Jim Caviezel in it. The Crow comes in a close second, even though most don't appreciate the movie. |

This is working great! Forest Gump and Shawshank Redemption are both also some favorites of mine.
300 was good too.
Fast and Furious, some of those were okay. I think the first one and last one were the two I liked. |

When I was much younger.. there was a movie named the Grizzly.. not a great movie but I will have to admit it made me think up in a bow stand with night creeping in more than once about that movie.
In other words - made an impression. Think Jaws on land.
Another movie I watched a 100 times over.. JAWS.

You already have the 2 required movie favorites to be allowed in my life (Gladiator and 300)
I didn't see Braveheart in any list, but I was skimming them pretty fast, too.
Taken is a great Leim Neeson flick.
I agree with Wade, Princess Bride has to be in one of these lists..
I actually liked the first Butterfly Effect, despite Ashton Kutcher.
Limitless was a fantastic movie.
Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz are required watching!
Pack93z mentioned it already, but The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy is another must own.
The Goonies is a must own for those who were kids in the 80's.
An American Tail is probably my all time favorite animated feature. Great range of emotion in that movie.
How to Train Your Dragon and the Kung Fu Panda movies are my favorite CGI movies right now.
I had about 10 more in mind, but as I started writing them, some of these popped in my head. I'll probably add more later. |
 Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!! |
