I've done quite a few picks of my Избранное Фильмы on this spot, and my taste doesn't really change (majority of my избранное have been on the Список for years) so I figured I'd do an article. Because it's еще fun I suppose. I'm going to count backwards, and provide Ты with a quote and try not to talk about them too much.
PS: Don't insult my taste, или Freddy will get Ты in your sleep. I'm eclectic, I rarely like the same type of movies.
20. Dreamland (2006)
This movie has the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen in any movie. If Ты like to look at pretty things, I highly recommend it. The mediocre plot won't bother Ты with these backdrops. Plus Agnes is also super pretty & legit.
19. James & the Giant персик (1996)
Most people don't know this is a Дисней movie but it is, and I enjoy rubbing it in the faces of Дисней elite. This movie is so much better than the average Дисней film.
18. Pandorum (2009)
Ben Foster, anyone? This is like The Descent, except it's in space. So eerily similar, the creatures are badass in this one.
17. 3:10 to Yuma (2007)
Ben Foster AGAIN, anyone? :D I'm not a Фан of westerns, but this movie makes me appreciate them slightly more. It's a phenomenal remake with an outstanding cast.
16. The Running Man (1987)
This movie is proof that the 80s were the decade for awesome movies! It's Ahnold's best for sure, and the concept is absolutely brilliant.
15. Sunshine (2007)
Despite the global warming message, this is a deeply touching movie. Not to mention it has a near-perfect cast (Rose Byrne! Chris Evans! Cillian Murphy!) & an even еще perfect soundtrack. Would Ты sacrifice yourself into Космос to save the sun?
14. The Girl Далее Door (2004)
A sex comedy with heart! And a big, big сердце it has. Amazing cast (Elisha Cuthbert & Timothy Olyphant, HELLO!), hilarious dialogue, and the sweetest romance to ever hit the big screens (take that Jack & Rose!).
13. Romy & Michele's High School Reunion (1997)
This is the greatest best friend movie ever. I would Любовь a friendship like theirs, only I suppose with еще smarts :P
12. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992)
SMG, I Любовь Ты and all but THIS is my Buffy! And future horror-comedy movie-makers listen up - this is how Ты should be making Вампиры funny! And the dialogue! OMG, the 90s retro speak brings back memories.
11. Adventures in Babysitting (1987)
This is the movie I quote from most often. Such a classic that nobody knows about. Some parts are ridiculous, but it's an 80s movie...find me one that isn't.
10. Scream (1996)
What a great, great movie. This one didn't introduce me to horror, but it did start my obsession with it. 15 years I have been a hardcore horror fanatic, and it's all thanks to this movie.
9. The Breakfast Club (1985)
Bender, the most quotable character in movie history. This is my 2nd most quoted from movie, and I'm probably in Любовь with Bender. What girl isn't though? Did I mention I know this entire movie by heart?
8. Анастасия (1997)
This was my biggest childhood obsession. I watched it every single night, and if I had Друзья spending the night we watched it and did all the lines and motions by heart. We were a rad bunch of kids, Ты know.
...This is where it gets difficult to rank
7. A Nightmare on Elm улица, уличный (1984)
Now I know how people feel when their Избранное Фильмы get remade. I normally don't mind remakes, but I was utterly crushed they were remaking this. Why? It's perfect! A great mix of comedy and genuine horror and a super badass final girl. This is the 2nd best film series in history btw.
6. треугольник (2009)
That quote, foreshadowing much? This is the most thought-provoking movie I've tolerated. I'll be the first to admit, I usually just like to have fun with Фильмы and not over-analyze them. But I've analyzed this one to death and I still come with something new. I'm gonna go ahead and be one of those annoying Фаны that says "If Ты didn't like it, Ты didn't understand it" because it's true. AMAZING movie.
5. The Fifth Element (1997)
Another movie I can quote by heart. If you've seen it, Ты know why it's so amazing. I don't need to tell you. So fantastic.
4. Saw (2004)
Ты will never find a bigger stan for this series than me. Take that as Ты will, good или bad. I could talk for hours about this series with somebody, anybody. I could tell Ты every redeeming quality about it, why it is NOT torture porn, why John Kramer is the most fascinating & complex character in movie history, etc. The continuity, the characters, the traps!, everything about it is perfect. And the ending for this one left me forever entranced.
3. The Descent (2005)
Now I'm going to confuse Ты all here for a minute. After my raving about Saw, I'm placing this before it. It is my Избранное standalone horror movie. Yes, I'm choosing to ignore the sequel because it should have never existed. For an all-female cast, this is one damn awesome movie. Sarah is one of my Избранное movie characters ever, and this is the most perfect horror movie ever. So claustrophobic though so if you're a wimp, stay away.
2. Brick (2005)
Brendan, the sexiest/wittiest/most intelligent human being ever. No question, he's my Избранное movie character and probably my 2nd Избранное character overall. I think this movie should be required by everyone to watch, but it's either a Любовь или hate it kind of movie. The dialogue is admittedly very difficult to understand. But if Ты aren't 2, Ты should be okay.
1. Murder By Death (1976)
The most amazing movie ever, EVER!! All-star cast, amazing dialogue, great setting, perfect plot, I could go on and on. I know this movie by heart. I know I've сказал(-а) that before, but this one is definite. I once quoted the entire movie start to finish without watching it. (Because I have a life, Ты see.) I used to watch this every night as a kid, but sadly I haven't quite kept up with that lately. Sometimes this & Brick are tied, but today this wins.
PS: Don't insult my taste, или Freddy will get Ты in your sleep. I'm eclectic, I rarely like the same type of movies.
20. Dreamland (2006)
I'm 18 years old and I just want to surrender.
This movie has the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen in any movie. If Ты like to look at pretty things, I highly recommend it. The mediocre plot won't bother Ты with these backdrops. Plus Agnes is also super pretty & legit.
19. James & the Giant персик (1996)
Marvelous things will happen.
Most people don't know this is a Дисней movie but it is, and I enjoy rubbing it in the faces of Дисней elite. This movie is so much better than the average Дисней film.
18. Pandorum (2009)
We call it Pandorum. It drove him insane.
Ben Foster, anyone? This is like The Descent, except it's in space. So eerily similar, the creatures are badass in this one.
17. 3:10 to Yuma (2007)
I hate posses.
Ben Foster AGAIN, anyone? :D I'm not a Фан of westerns, but this movie makes me appreciate them slightly more. It's a phenomenal remake with an outstanding cast.
16. The Running Man (1987)
I'm not into politics. I'm into survival.
This movie is proof that the 80s were the decade for awesome movies! It's Ahnold's best for sure, and the concept is absolutely brilliant.
15. Sunshine (2007)
The only dream I ever have is of the surface of the sun. Everytime I shut my eyes, it's all I can see.
Despite the global warming message, this is a deeply touching movie. Not to mention it has a near-perfect cast (Rose Byrne! Chris Evans! Cillian Murphy!) & an even еще perfect soundtrack. Would Ты sacrifice yourself into Космос to save the sun?
14. The Girl Далее Door (2004)
I just wanna let Ты know, I know who Ты really are, and you're better than this.
A sex comedy with heart! And a big, big сердце it has. Amazing cast (Elisha Cuthbert & Timothy Olyphant, HELLO!), hilarious dialogue, and the sweetest romance to ever hit the big screens (take that Jack & Rose!).
13. Romy & Michele's High School Reunion (1997)
Isn't it weird when you're not Друзья with your Друзья anymore? I mean, Michele & I just fell out of touch about two hours ago.
This is the greatest best friend movie ever. I would Любовь a friendship like theirs, only I suppose with еще smarts :P
12. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992)
Great, my secret weapon is PMS. That's just terrific. Thanks for telling me.
SMG, I Любовь Ты and all but THIS is my Buffy! And future horror-comedy movie-makers listen up - this is how Ты should be making Вампиры funny! And the dialogue! OMG, the 90s retro speak brings back memories.
11. Adventures in Babysitting (1987)
Now boys, if either of Ты give me any grief I swear to God I'll kill you. Dead, murdered, stabbed.
This is the movie I quote from most often. Such a classic that nobody knows about. Some parts are ridiculous, but it's an 80s movie...find me one that isn't.
10. Scream (1996)
Don't Ты blame the movies! Фильмы don't create psychos, Фильмы make psychos еще creative!
What a great, great movie. This one didn't introduce me to horror, but it did start my obsession with it. 15 years I have been a hardcore horror fanatic, and it's all thanks to this movie.
9. The Breakfast Club (1985)
We're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that's all.
Bender, the most quotable character in movie history. This is my 2nd most quoted from movie, and I'm probably in Любовь with Bender. What girl isn't though? Did I mention I know this entire movie by heart?
8. Анастасия (1997)
If we live through this, remind me to thank you.
This was my biggest childhood obsession. I watched it every single night, and if I had Друзья spending the night we watched it and did all the lines and motions by heart. We were a rad bunch of kids, Ты know.
...This is where it gets difficult to rank
7. A Nightmare on Elm улица, уличный (1984)
One, two, Freddy's coming for you.
Now I know how people feel when their Избранное Фильмы get remade. I normally don't mind remakes, but I was utterly crushed they were remaking this. Why? It's perfect! A great mix of comedy and genuine horror and a super badass final girl. This is the 2nd best film series in history btw.
6. треугольник (2009)
Bad dreams make Ты think you're seeing things Ты haven't.
That quote, foreshadowing much? This is the most thought-provoking movie I've tolerated. I'll be the first to admit, I usually just like to have fun with Фильмы and not over-analyze them.

I'm gonna go ahead and be one of those annoying Фаны that says "If Ты didn't like it, Ты didn't understand it" because it's true. AMAZING movie.
5. The Fifth Element (1997)
I don't know love. I was built to protect, not to love.
Another movie I can quote by heart. If you've seen it, Ты know why it's so amazing. I don't need to tell you. So fantastic.
4. Saw (2004)
Most people are so ungrateful to be alive. But not you, not anymore.
Ты will never find a bigger stan for this series than me. Take that as Ты will, good или bad. I could talk for hours about this series with somebody, anybody. I could tell Ты every redeeming quality about it, why it is NOT torture porn, why John Kramer is the most fascinating & complex character in movie history, etc. The continuity, the characters, the traps!, everything about it is perfect. And the ending for this one left me forever entranced.
3. The Descent (2005)
Hey, there's something down here...
Now I'm going to confuse Ты all here for a minute. After my raving about Saw, I'm placing this before it. It is my Избранное standalone horror movie. Yes, I'm choosing to ignore the sequel because it should have never existed. For an all-female cast, this is one damn awesome movie.

2. Brick (2005)
You better be sure Ты wanna know what Ты wanna know.
Brendan, the sexiest/wittiest/most intelligent human being ever. No question, he's my Избранное movie character and probably my 2nd Избранное character overall. I think this movie should be required by everyone to watch, but it's either a Любовь или hate it kind of movie. The dialogue is admittedly very difficult to understand.

1. Murder By Death (1976)
Locked, from the inside. That can only mean one thing..and I don't know what it is.
The most amazing movie ever, EVER!! All-star cast, amazing dialogue, great setting, perfect plot, I could go on and on. I know this movie by heart. I know I've сказал(-а) that before, but this one is definite. I once quoted the entire movie start to finish without watching it. (Because I have a life, Ты see.)
