# 20. Back to the Future part 2
The sequel to Back to the Future, this Robert Zemeckis 1989 feature, coproduced by Steven Spielberg, blasts into the future (2015) to prevent Marty McFlys family from being disgraced. Doc, however, has his time machine stolen in the future by the old Biff Tannen (Thomas F. Wilson) who takes it back to 1955 and gives a sports almanac (with results) to himself so that history may change and he may become rich and powerful; he does and it does. So Marty and Doc must set things right. Lea Thompson is the mother and Elisabeth Shue is the girlfriend in the movie that promised a futuristic future for the audience of the 1980s, filled with flying cars, hovering skateboards, autmotic dog-walkers, and knobless doors, where a Pepsi might cost 50 dollars and a regular cab ride nearly 200, and where a pizza maybe made in under five seconds. Casey Siemaszko, Flea, Jame Tolkan, and Billy Zane also star.

# 8. Airplane!
Chosen as the funniest movie ever when it came out in 1980, the comedy trio of Zucker Abrahams Zucker brings you a great film from beginning to end. Surely you like movies about gladiators! Stars Robert Hays in the lead as Julie Hagerty as the female lead. Also has a noteworthy cast of Leslie Nielsen, Peter Graves, Lloyd Bridges, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (I mean Roger Murdock), and Robert Stack. Rated PG.

# 7. Back to the Future
The first BTTF from 1985 is a nice mix of science fiction, comedy, action, and story as young Marty McFly takes his mad scientist Docs Delroean time machine back 30 years and meets his parent, before they even met each other. His future mother falls for him instead of his future father and he has to set things straight or he might never be born. Boy this is heavy! But rest assured, the heaviness has nothing to do with the Earths gravitational pull. Was produced by Steven Spielberg, directed by Robert Zemeckis, and also stars Crispin Glover.

# 6. Raiders of the Lost Ark
Admittedly the best Indiana Jones movie, this 1981 adventure introduced us to the eminent archeologist Jones. Coming across his nemesis Rene Belloq (Paul Freeman) who takes an idol he pursued and got from a South American temple in 1936, Jones is met by his compatriot Marcus (Denholm Elliott) and some government agents who want his help in obtaining the ark of the covenant, which held the original 10 commandments, before Adolf Hitlers Nazi goons get at it. So Jones goes to Nepal to seek out former flame Marion (Karen Allen) whose father worked on the find. She joins him to Cairo - city of the living, paradise on earth - where he meets with Sallah (John Rhys-Davies), an expert digger in the region, but also eventually comes across Belloq, who is now spearheading the Nazi excavation. Indy is able to decipher the location of the Ark and gets it only to have it taken away by the antagonists. Eventually, all involved witness the power of the ark, or do they?? Directed by Steven Spielberg so he wouldn't have to make a James Bond film (on the advice of producer George Lucas), the globetrotting adventure still ranks among the greatest action-adventure films ever. Also stars Alfred Molina, Ronald Lacey, and Wolf Kahler.

# 5. True Lies
Moved down in my listing due to the negative stereotypes it issues, it nevertheless is an excellent mesh of action and comedy. The 1995 James Cameron hit also does an acceptable job of twisting together the two main storylines. It stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as a spy for 17 years who has not told his wife (played by Jamie Lee Curtis who transforms from a gawky legal secretary) of 15 years that his one. Filled with tremendoes action sequences, it also stars Tom Arnold - as the comic relief, the daring antagonist terrorist (played aptly by Art Malik), and the sensual Tia Carrera as a link; also stars Eliza Dushku, Grant Heslov, and Bill Paxton. Rated R.

# 4. Transformers the Movie
This 1986 animated feature beat out G. I. Joe the Movie to the theaters and made my list as the top animated movie. Filled with great music from the time and a great cast that included Orson Welles, Transformers the Movie attempts now to bridge the gap between Generations 1 and the rest for contemporary cartoons. The voices and the animation combine to make it a stellar production IMHO. Set in 2005 - some 20 years after G1 concluded - it takes off with the evil Decepticons having conquered the home planet of Cybertron and the valiant Autobots preparing a comeback. But they're attacked on their way to Earth and Autobot City there is nearly destroyed. So the remaining Autobots take off in two shuttles for space with scenes and lines reminiscent of other great works, such as Star Wars and later Independence Day. Directed by Nelson Shin, it also stars Eric Idle, Leonard Nimoy, Scatman Crothers, Peter Cullen, Casey Kasem, Judd Nelson, Lionel Stander, and Robert Stack.

# 3. Speed
Some movies allow you to sit back and breathe a sigh of relief after an action sequence, allowing the viewer to possibly exclaim Wow, that was a great action scene - IMO this 1994 movie doesn't allow you to do that, keeping you on the edge of your seat throughout. Based on other works such as an unproduced Akira Kurosawa piece and the 1985 film Runaway Train, Speed made Keanu Reeves (Jack) and Sandra Bullock (Annie) household names for casual moviegoers. Jack is a Los Angeles police officer who, with his partner, foils a hostage situation in a highrise elevator bombing attempt. But the terrorist escapes and returns to plant a bomb on a city bus which is armed when the bus reaches a certain speed and will detonate if the bus drops below that determined speed of 50 miles per hour. Implausible as it may be, director Jan De Bont puts his skills and experience to work here. The action piece also ends in a sped-up Subway ride. Stars Joe Morton, Dennis Hopper, and Jeff Daniels.

# 2. Terminator 2 Judgement Day
Would be my top movie if I wasn't a fan of no.1. Quiet possibly Arnold Schwarzeneggers biggest role (and confirmed as such in his 1993 movie Last Action Hero), T2 was the first movie in history to cost over $100million. And it paid off nearly immediately as it had the highest opening weekend gross of any R rated movie until 2003. The CyberDyne Systems Model 101 T800 is here to protect future human resistance leader John Connor (Edward Furlong), now a young lad in foster care, from an advanced prototype T1000, played by Robert Patrick. Young John orders the terminator to get his mother (Linda Hamilton in a more activ-ist role) from a mental institution where she's being held for her stories about judgment day. The action spills in and out of Los Angeles and uses the science fiction to alter the story into a feel-good family movie - and I believe it works - although it's rated R. Government officials from the USA admitted this event as having some of the most realistic visions of a nuclear weapon of mass-destruction than any fictional piece ever. Sometimes we forget how great movies 'not new' were until we watch them again. Directed by James Cameron, it also stars Joe Morton and Earl Boen.

# 1. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
My personal fave Indiana Jones movie because in the Indiana Jones universe, the events of Raiders of the Lost Ark already took place, and quite possibly for the paternal role. Begins in 1912 in Utah as a young Indiana Jones (played by the late River Phoenix who thought he as doing his rendition of actor Harrison Ford - who once again returns as the title character - instead of the Jones character itself - they also worked together in The Mosquito Coast) who comes across some diggers getting the Cross of Coronado as a member of the Boy Scouts. This must have been a nice moment for director Steven Spielberg who was one himself in his youth. Ever the budding archeologist, young Jones thinks it belongs in a museum and manages to take it and run off. When he gets home, we see a glimpse of his father working on a diary chock full of data about the holy grail, crosses, and other Christian and nonChristian works, as well as the family dog, whom we later learn 'Indiana' was named after. Unfortunately, those diggers had a legal right to excavate and take back the cross, and uglily hand it over to a collector. The leader of the diggers places his hat on Indys head and we flash ahead to 1938 where Jones and grown up but is still after that cross. From the movies beginning, we learn where Indy learned to brandish hi whip, why Harrison Ford has a scar on his chin, where Jones' fear of snakes emanates from, and where he got his trademark fedora. Indy is able to escape with the cross and in scenes reminiscent of the aforementioned Raiders of the Lost Ark, compatriot Marcus Brody tends to Indy near the conclusion of a college course. Indy mentions in class how X never marks the spot but he'll eat those words later. Meanwhile, Indy receives a diary in the mail from Venice. He is able to sidestep his responsibilities but then is approached by a trio of men working for a collector (Julian Glover playign Walter Donovan) who introduces our hero to a tablet unearthed in Turkish lands. It mention the location of The Holy Grail and thus events are put into motion for the capture of this fabled artifact. Donovan wants him to pick up the 'trail of the grail' where the previous project leader left off as that man has vanished. Since his father was more interested in this, Indy suggests that Donovan try contacting the elder Jones. Indy is downed to discover that it the project leader and his father were one and the same person. The mail Indy received from Venice, Italy was his fathers grail diary. So off to Venice they go. There they meet his fathers colleague, Dr. Elsa Schneider (Allison Doody) and find more clue and eventually are able to rescue 'dad' from a castle (which in secrecy in a Nazi stronghold) on the Austrian border. Speilberg used an age-old storytelling technique here (also used in his previous film Jaws) where a major character is not shown fully until an hour or so into the movie. And we find that the elder Jones is played by none other than Sean Connery, an in-joke as Speilberg always wanted to to a James Bond film (and Connery played a definitive Bond earlier) - in fact, in the late '70s, Spielberg had discussed a Bond work with producer George Lucas and Lucas exclaimed he had something better than Bond, and thus Indiana Jones was born sort of speak. The chemistry between father and son from this point of the movie onwards is magnificent, what with such great talent at the filmmakers disposal. The Jones boys escape, retrieve the diary, and take off for the desert and the grail temple (which is actually in Jordan) and then it is time to ask oneself what they believe. This is certainly the most comedic film of the series and rumour has it that a fourth Indiana Jones film is in the works.

1. The Empire Strikes Back
(The movie that changed me forever. Not only is it my favorite Star Wars film, but it was also the first one I ever saw....and at a drive-in , at that! It also remains to be my most favorite sequel to any series.) :D
2. Tron
(So ahead of it's time, and SOOO fun to watch. Overall, this movie sums up the best parts of the 80's. With the video games, and the neon, and the computers....and the CLAVEN!)
3. Raiders of the Lost Ark
(Just a perfect action/adventure film in every way. Plus, you're not labeled a "geek" for liking Indy.) :P
4. Ferris Bueller's Day Off
(Pretty much sums up my entire approach to life. Almost lost to Office Space, but this one is more nostalgic to me.) :yes:
5. Back to the Future
(Shall I say, "Timeless"? Who doesn't like an old fashioned story about the love between a mother and son? :P This was tied with Ghostbusters, but lost because this one actually has good sequels. :hmm:)
6. Chasing Amy
(A VERY powerful film about love, although I wouldn't quite call it a "romantic comedy." I happened upon it at a time in my life when my situation was disturbingly similar to what Ben Affleck's character was dealing with. Some of the coincidences in the film vs. my real life were almost too real to watch. Still, it made me a Kevin Smith fan for life.)
7. Seven
(What a stunning portrait of the frailties of the human condition, and how easy it is for any of us to cross the line of madness. This film pulled you in, and left you with a feeling of dread for days that most horror film producers would...well, die for.)
8. Donnie Darko
(Just an amazing film, with so much substance on so many levels. It should be MANDATORY viewing for every student of film and quantum physics.)
9. Dogma
(Pretty much sums up my entire view of religion, and the people behind it. Yes, I realize it's primarily a comedy, but when you really think about the fundamentals of religion....how can you NOT laugh? PLUS, it has George Carlin and Chris Rock!) :eek:
10. My Big Fat Greek Wedding
(The ONLY Romantic Comedy you'll EVER catch me watching voluntarily. Funny, charming, but most of all...believable.) ;)

Okaaaay, in no particular order here:

(plus, note that I consider the series here as one movie. anyone calling that a copout gets a glass jaw on the house)

-Star Wars Saga (I-VI)
-Leone's Dollars Trilogy
-Tarantino's Los Angeles Trilogy (unless he makes a Vega Brothers flick or something to replace JB)
-Dazed and Confused
-Jay and Silent Bob Series
-Taxi Driver
-Scorcese's Mob Trilogy (I count The Departed as a spiritual sequel to GF and Casino)
-Back to the Future Trilogy
-South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut
-Rocky Series (I-VI)

and three more that just MUST make the cut even if this is a top ten list:

-A Bronx Tale
-Dumb and Dumber
-The Chase

plus movies that get honorable mentions even though they are not hardcore favorites:

-Blade Runner
-Terminator 2: although I slightly liked Arnie as badguy more, this film just ROCKED)
-Raging Bull
-Kill Bill
-Grindhouse (both features)
-Vanishing Point
-Eddie Murphy RAW (does that count?)
-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Trilogy (not including this new TMNT bull****)
-The Exorcist
-2001: A Space Oddisy (sp?)
-Batman
-Batman Returns (realize how I didn't mention the Batman series in total?)
-Unbreakable
-Die Hard
-Die Hard with a Vengeance (same principle as with Batman)

Okay, c'est fini.

Yeah, they're in my top 20. :P

Along with Independence Day, The Thing (John Carpenter), Best in Show, American Beauty, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, The Goonies, Napoleon Dynamite, and Saving Private Ryan...which is just too damn sad to watch often enough. :(

I don't like "Top #" lists cause I tend to have an objective view towards lots of things (mainly art). However, the following would definitely fall on my list (if I had one) :

True Romance
Donnie Darko
Blade Runner
Raising Arizona
Garden State
(Hitchcock's) Rope
Adaptation


...and many others. The above would easily fill spaces in the top 10 slots on such a list, which is why I specifically note them. The "many others" are more questionable in their placement.

EDIT : Had to add one.

Never could be still for long, and I could never hold a job.
Coupled with a weakness for cocaine and liquor; not much you can do for love.
When I met you I broke the mold, I fell apart and combed my hair.
Whiskey shakes for ten whole days…Stayed off the streets at night for weeks.
I don't wanna be a Catholic pagan now that you're here.
We fell in awe each other for love, survival, and everything else.
Please don't padlock your parents' bomb shelter, or fill her up with dust and ash.
A landfill mecca for burnouts and whistlers; adolescent sour mash.
I'm not saying that I'm unloved, but I could really use it now.
So turn out the lights over and over and over, we'll figure out the rest somehow...

I can never write a list. I'm going to make a point of making one so I can update it.

A whole lot of love for Star Wars in here which is nice. The Saga is the only thing I'm sure of at Number 1 :)
