Mike's Greatest Movies of All Time

I love good movies. I hate bad movies, and I see more bad ones than good ones. I checked out imdb.com just to make sure I didn't forget any, and here is my list as of 11/20/04:

Mike’s Greatest Movies of All Time

  1. Pulp Fiction – All hail the king. Comedy, tragedy, as heavy and light as Led Zeppelin.
  2. The Usual Suspects – Kevin Spacey steals the show.
  3. Shawshank Redemption – "Get busy livin’ or get busy dyin’."
  4. Groundhog Day – It gets better every time I see it.
  5. The Taking of Pelham 1,2,3
  6. The Matrix
  7. Blade Runner
  8. Caddyshack
  9. Dogma
  10. Snatch
  11. Star Wars
  12. Office Space
  13. What About Bob?
  14. Being John Malkovitch
  15. Bad News Bears
  16. Rain Man
  17. Memento
  18. 12 Monkeys
  19. Wild Things
  20. The Station Agent
  21. Notorious
From this list, maybe someone could know something about me? I don't know. My list is probably similar to that of many people. But I love Bill Murray and Walter Matthau. I love Brad Pitt too, and I love funny movies and SciFi and Gangster movies. Plot Twists are great too. The movies on my top 20 that AREN'T in imbd.com's top 250 may need some explaination.

The Taking of Pelham 1,2,3 - This movie is about a heist gone wrong and Walter Matthau is the cop investigating. The bad guys have the Mr Blue and Mr Green names which Quentin Tarantino borrows for his movie, Reservoir Dogs. This movie rocks.

Caddyshack - Probably the most quoted movie in history, I am surprised it isn't on the imbd list. Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, and Rodney Dangerfield and a bunch of golf and sex jokes. "Cindarella story, outa nowhere, tears in his eyes."

Dogma - Brilliant questioning of religion with sex and fart jokes and Jay and Silent Bob. Kevin Smith's finest.

Office Space - "PC LOAD LETTER!?! What the FUCK does that mean?"

What about Bob? - "Baby Steps." "I'm sailing!" - Bill Murray as Bob.

Bad News Bears - the ultimate baseball movie. Quoted nearly as often as Caddyshack. "Take one for the team, Stein." "Back up sucker, this one's for Allah."

Wild Things - The only movie that made this list based on the females in it. Although it also has Bill Murray and Matt Dillon and more plot twists than any movie I have ever seen.
