\n28 Days Later<\/strong>
\n28 Weeks Later<\/strong>
\nAI<\/strong>–A truly great movie about a robot boy just wanting to be loved.
\nAliens<\/strong>–The whole series is truly great. What’s to hate about horrible creatures bursting out of peoples’ chests? Awesome! Plus, Ripley introduced the concept to modern television of a truly strong female protagonist. She doesn’t take crap from anyone.
\nAvatar<\/strong>
\nBicentennial Man<\/strong>–My second favorite Robin Williams movie.
\nBlade Runner<\/strong>
\nThe Chronicles of Riddick<\/strong>
\nCritters<\/strong>–Stupid alien ball things shooting out paralyzing darts and just basically messing everyone up. Meanwhile, they run around all over the place terrorizing people. Funny movie.
\nCube<\/strong>
\nDark City<\/strong>
\nDark Water<\/strong>–both the American and the Japanese (?) versions are very good.
\nDawn of the Dead<\/strong>
\nDemolition Man<\/strong>–Very old sci-fi, I winced the last time I watched this (ah, memory is fickle) but it’s still a good movie.

\nThe Island<\/strong>
\nLost In Space<\/strong>
\nMeet Joe Black<\/strong>
\nPandorum<\/strong>–Ben Foster as a man waking up on board a ship with no memory of what came before. He’s hunted by horrible monsters and sees it happening to other humans. A great, straight-up sci-fi story with some action tossed in for luck.
\nPitch Black<\/strong>–first in the Chronicles of Riddick.

\n

\nCrouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon<\/strong>
\nThe Dark Knight<\/strong>
\nDave<\/strong>

\nFallen<\/strong>
\nFargo<\/strong>
\nFrom Hell<\/strong>
\nGladiator<\/strong>
\nHard Candy<\/strong>–OMG, this is a truly great movie with some great acting. Very disturbing, though.
\nHarlem Nights<\/strong>
\nHero<\/strong> Jet Li. ‘Nough said.
\nHook<\/strong>
\nKick Ass<\/strong>–My love for superheroes shines through. I fast forward through the scenes with Kick Ass in them, but I love Hit Girl.
\nKill Bill<\/strong>
\nKingdom of Heaven<\/strong>
\nLast Samurai<\/strong>
\nMan On Fire<\/strong>
\nMinority Report<\/strong>
\nMr Brooks<\/strong>
\nMr & Mrs Smith<\/strong>
\nMurder By Numbers<\/strong>
\nPlatoon<\/strong>
\nPulp Fiction<\/strong>
\nRED<\/strong>–Means something like “Retired Extremely Dangerous” and that’s exactly what these people are.
\nRed Dragon<\/strong>–Edward Norton is a great actor.
\nReservoir Dogs<\/strong>
\nSeven<\/strong>
\nTraffic<\/strong>
\nUntraceable<\/strong>–Diane Lane is awesome in this movie.
\nV For Vendetta<\/strong>
\nWe Were Soldiers<\/strong>
\nZulu<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
\n50 First Dates<\/strong>–This movie made me want to laugh and cry at the same time.
\nCity of Angels<\/strong>
\nDefinitely Maybe<\/strong>–This was a cute movie about a man telling his daughter the story of how he met her mother. So it’s kind of like that show, but not like 600 episodes long \ud83d\ude42 A nice movie.
\nEver After<\/strong>
\nFinding Neverland<\/strong>
\nGigi<\/strong>–Somewhat old-fashioned, maybe a bit disturbing on the creeper front, but still a movie that should be seen. Beautiful clothes and scenery and you eventually start to get into the story of a young trained up to be the mistress of a rich young man that decides he’s fallen in love with Gigi.
\nJosie & the Pussycats<\/strong>–This movie is surprisingly hilarious. “Back door lover…” Seth Green and Breckin Meyer as Tujour? Nice.
\nJuno<\/strong>
\nMary Poppins<\/strong>
\nMoulin Rouge<\/strong>–I was surprised to realize that Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor could sing. A truly great movie of sweeping romance, jerky evil, and beautiful set and costume designs.
\nMy Fair Lady<\/strong>
\nThe Nightmare Before Christmas<\/strong>–One of my most favorite movies. Tim Burton’s masterpiece.
\nPenelope<\/strong>–An adorable movie about a girl born with the face of a pig due to the curse that the first daughter born to her family would have the face of a pig until “She is loved by one of her own kind.” Christina Ricci is great in this movie, plus Reese Witherspoon.
\nThe Princess Bride<\/strong>
\nSabrina<\/strong>–Both the new Harrison Ford version and the old Audrey Hepburn movie. Such a charming story about the daughter of the chauffeur and the sons of the house, both of which fall for her, in one way or another.
\nThe Sound of Music<\/strong>
\nTwelfth Night<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
