I've done quite a few picks of my favori films on this spot, and my taste doesn't really change (majority of my favoris have been on the liste for years) so I figured I'd do an article. Because it's plus fun I suppose. I'm going to count backwards, and provide toi with a quote and try not to talk about them too much.
PS: Don't insult my taste, ou Freddy will get toi 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 toi like to look at pretty things, I highly recommend it. The mediocre plot won't bother toi with these backdrops. Plus Agnes is also super pretty & legit.
19. James & the Giant pêche, peach (1996)
Most people don't know this is a Disney movie but it is, and I enjoy rubbing it in the faces of Disney elite. This movie is so much better than the average Disney 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 fan 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 plus perfect soundtrack. Would toi sacrifice yourself into l’espace to save the sun?
14. The Girl suivant Door (2004)
A sex comedy with heart! And a big, big cœur, coeur 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 l’amour a friendship like theirs, only I suppose with plus smarts :P
12. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992)
SMG, I l’amour toi and all but THIS is my Buffy! And future horror-comedy movie-makers listen up - this is how toi should be making vampires 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 l’amour with Bender. What girl isn't though? Did I mention I know this entire movie par heart?
8. Anastasia (1997)
This was my biggest childhood obsession. I watched it every single night, and if I had Friends spending the night we watched it and did all the lines and motions par heart. We were a rad bunch of kids, toi know.
...This is where it gets difficult to rank
7. A Nightmare on Elm rue (1984)
Now I know how people feel when their favori films 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. triangle (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 films 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 fans that says "If toi didn't like it, toi didn't understand it" because it's true. AMAZING movie.
5. The Fifth Element (1997)
Another movie I can quote par heart. If you've seen it, toi know why it's so amazing. I don't need to tell you. So fantastic.
4. Saw (2004)
toi will never find a bigger stan for this series than me. Take that as toi will, good ou bad. I could talk for hours about this series with somebody, anybody. I could tell toi 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 toi all here for a minute. After my raving about Saw, I'm placing this before it. It is my favori 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 favori 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 favori movie character and probably my 2nd favori character overall. I think this movie should be required par everyone to watch, but it's either a l’amour ou hate it kind of movie. The dialogue is admittedly very difficult to understand. But if toi aren't 2, toi should be okay.
1. Murder par 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 par heart. I know I've a dit that before, but this one is definite. I once quoted the entire movie start to finish without watching it. (Because I have a life, toi 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, ou Freddy will get toi 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 toi like to look at pretty things, I highly recommend it. The mediocre plot won't bother toi with these backdrops. Plus Agnes is also super pretty & legit.
19. James & the Giant pêche, peach (1996)
Marvelous things will happen.
Most people don't know this is a Disney movie but it is, and I enjoy rubbing it in the faces of Disney elite. This movie is so much better than the average Disney 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 fan 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 plus perfect soundtrack. Would toi sacrifice yourself into l’espace to save the sun?
14. The Girl suivant Door (2004)
I just wanna let toi know, I know who toi really are, and you're better than this.
A sex comedy with heart! And a big, big cœur, coeur 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 Friends with your Friends anymore? I mean, Michele & I just fell out of touch about two hours ago.
This is the greatest best friend movie ever. I would l’amour a friendship like theirs, only I suppose with plus smarts :P
12. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992)
Great, my secret weapon is PMS. That's just terrific. Thanks for telling me.
SMG, I l’amour toi and all but THIS is my Buffy! And future horror-comedy movie-makers listen up - this is how toi should be making vampires funny! And the dialogue! OMG, the 90s retro speak brings back memories.
11. Adventures in Babysitting (1987)
Now boys, if either of toi 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 toi blame the movies! films don't create psychos, films make psychos plus 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 l’amour with Bender. What girl isn't though? Did I mention I know this entire movie par heart?
8. Anastasia (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 Friends spending the night we watched it and did all the lines and motions par heart. We were a rad bunch of kids, toi know.
...This is where it gets difficult to rank
7. A Nightmare on Elm rue (1984)
One, two, Freddy's coming for you.
Now I know how people feel when their favori films 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. triangle (2009)
Bad dreams make toi think you're seeing things toi 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 films and not over-analyze them. But I've analyzed this one to death and I still come with something new.

5. The Fifth Element (1997)
I don't know love. I was built to protect, not to love.
Another movie I can quote par heart. If you've seen it, toi 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.
toi will never find a bigger stan for this series than me. Take that as toi will, good ou bad. I could talk for hours about this series with somebody, anybody. I could tell toi 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.

3. The Descent (2005)
Hey, there's something down here...
Now I'm going to confuse toi all here for a minute. After my raving about Saw, I'm placing this before it. It is my favori 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 favori 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)
You better be sure toi wanna know what toi wanna know.
Brendan, the sexiest/wittiest/most intelligent human being ever. No question, he's my favori movie character and probably my 2nd favori character overall. I think this movie should be required par everyone to watch, but it's either a l’amour ou hate it kind of movie. The dialogue is admittedly very difficult to understand. But if toi aren't 2, toi should be okay.
1. Murder par 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 par heart. I know I've a dit that before, but this one is definite. I once quoted the entire movie start to finish without watching it. (Because I have a life, toi see.)
