My Top Ten Flicks

10. The Other Guys
It's a recent film, with Mark Wahlberg playing an atypical comedic role. Still using his tough guy motif as a New York City Cop, Wahlberg teamed up with comedic superstar Will Ferrel as his ne'r do well partner. This movie snags the # 10 spot becasue i enjoyed watching it and i liked how Mark Wahlberg could perform more than the B.A role he as in the past.

9. Back to the Future (Series)
Yeah, maybe the second 2 weren't phenomonal but you can't really have one without the others. They go together. But it's been one of my favorite movies since i can remember, who wouldn't hop in if Doc Brown pulled up in the Delorean and said "Hop in"?

8. Made of Honor
Go ahead, laugh at me, yes it's a chick flick. I'm a big fan of the two actors in the leading roles though i cannot recall their names right now. I think the movie is funny and romantic and everything in between. And i also beleive it has something to offer to everyone.

7. Star Wars (Series)
Oh yeah, i said it. Star Wars Duh-da-da-daaaa-DAHHH-da-da-da-DAHHH-Duhh-da-da-da-DAHHH-Duh-da-da-da-Duh. Nuff said.

6.Super Bad
Classic. First R-rated movie i snuck into, surrounded by 21 year olds and old ladies (don't ask). Laughing my butt off at stuff i wasn't even sure the meaning of. But don't let me make you think the memory is why i enjoy it so much. This movie is hysterical! Seth Rogen wrote a masterpiece and Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, and the kid who will always be knwon is Fogel/McLovin were amazing together.

5.Twilight Movies (New Moon Especially)
Not much to be said on these. Saw New Moon at midnight. And again a week or two later. Some of the best memories i've ever had i have watching those movies. Truly good films when you place them next too the books. Keep getting better.

4.Transformers (1 & 2)
Fantastic CGI, kick butt scenes and a whole lotta scifi to keep every geek coming back. Shia LeBoueff and Megan Fox (Woah) star in it and i'm a fan of both actors. The voice overs for the Transformers are all well done and some big names are in them too.

3. A Time to Kill
Matthew McGoughnehay or however you spell it and Samuel L. Jackson star in this movie, based off a novel. Both actors came to work on this film, really well done and very emotional. intense and jam packed with the kind of suspense that keep you on the edge throughout the entire movie. Reall reccomend you seeing it. Its also a good portrayal of African American and White relations during the mid 20th century.

3. Die Hard (Series/Tie with A Time to Kill)
Bruce Willis takes charge in these action packed bonanzas of amazingness. Yes i have trouble describing how great the action and acting on Bruce Willis' part make these movies so utterly breathtaking. Classic Bruce Willis in these films, he dominates the screen and you're attention without effort it seems, and only the hope of another keeps you from despair.
2. Air Force One
"Get off my Plane" hot damn, that line will never get old. Harrison Ford at his best, that's right, THE Harrison Ford. Han Solo, Indiana Jones, and now the President of the United States. I could watch this movie all day. It's got all the thrills of a Harrison Ford flick with the emotion and suspense you come to expect from an actor of his prestige. this movie has the right amount of everything for everybody.

2. Gladiator (Tie with Air Force One)
Russel Crowe is on fire in this movie. Almost as if he was born to play a wanted Roman General turned slave. Gladiator combines historical pieces with heart-stopping action and sequence lending the whole film an air of mystery and power. The movie flows as if it were a tune played softly until loud crescendo's were played to bring the house down. And bring the house down it did in this action-packed thriller of time withstanding classic.

1. Top Gun
"Ice Man", "Cougar", "Goose". and of course "Maverick" the iconic film of of Tom Cruise's career, Top Gun pull's my #1 spot with room to spare. Jets, explosions, romance, heartbreak, comedy, beach volleyball! This films got it all, and Tom Cruise is on point. In all his movies i feel it safe to say i've never seen him as on than he was in this movie. I encourage all who haven't seen it to rent it and watch it asap. And for those who have, i think it prudent to say that you haven't "lost, that lovin' feelin" and won't be, anytime soon.

Well, there you have it, my top ten flicks, and then some.

  1. I agree Matt. These movies are 10 very classic movies. I haven't seen all of them and i dont agree with all of them either. But no worries. Everyone's entitled to their own opinions and i respect you for openly admitting that you willingly watched twilight.
