My All-Time Favorite Movies


No other movie makes the prospect of 'not being alone' in the universe more frightening. Nothing comes close.The Alien sequels are what I watch the most. The original is the best,followed by Aliens, then 3,and 4. Maybe it's because they are on cable TV so much. Maybe I like them the best. We saw Aliens at a drive-in theatre, and it was spectacular.

The Mummy is by far my most watched movie this year.The soundtrack is very good. Special effects, and the acting is very well done.The characters and the plot are solid. The Return is good..Yet like any sequel, they tend to lose the initial appeal. The Scorpion King was very similar to these movies. But never watched that much.

While Die Hard feature a great soundtrack, the acting and special effects are really what makes them so appealing. Die Hard is the best, followed by With a Vengeance, Live Free,Die Hard, and Die Harder the least watched of the sequels.

When Batman came out, it was the best action we had ever seen in a comic book hero movie. Batman Returns is our favorite,with the Catwoman and the Penguin joining forces. Forever next, Batman, and Batman and Robin least watched. Michael Keaton was clearly the best Batman character.

The Professional is fascinating. A young Natalie Portman is paired up with european stars Jean Reno and Gary Oldham. The results are solid acting and characters whom you can feel.

This is the best ever movie: Raiders of the Lost Ark was everything it could be. No special effects wizard could come close to the drama produced in this classic film. Still haven't seen the new one. the Temple of Doom was just as good as the first in the series.

Jaws still makes for one of the best adventures in modern cinema. Man against fish, or nature.The trio of Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, and Robert Shaw bring this film to life. An amazing wealth of talent combined with a special-effect shark. It sure scared me from going back into the water. The second movie was okay, but after the orignal cast have left this series, the magic died.

Apocalypse Now has been described as the closest to 'Nam as you will ever get. From the beginning, right to the end, the drama never stops. The soundtrack, featuring The Doors song, the End, and a few other classic songs within the story really bring this movie home.

The apocalyptic nightmares begin with Terminator. Machines, hunting their creators. Truly some mediocre acting and not too great special effects,yet the series has stood the test of time.

Despite this movie being 10 years old, the soundtrack is awesome.The stylizing of the futuristic setting is done with pleasing aesthetic quality. You could literally jump right into the life of these events. The cast and characters are solid. You can't find a better 'love' story that brings the characters home.

And that rounds out my top 10. Scroll down for more favorites...


Godzilla was my saturday night 'creature feature' when growing up. I always wondered how those people learned to talk without having their lips in sync with the words.(?) The movies got better as time goes.They are making Godzilla to this day. Who wouldn't want to be taller than a skyscraper, and fight huge monsters ? A few of the characters from the films went on to make their own movies.Godzilla vs. Destroyah is a classic.

The original Friday the 13th is worth watching over and over.That eerie theme music,and those weird sound effects. All those goofy kids,on dope,or having sex. Jason takes no prisoners. It's amazing how the series just keeps going. We can never get enough! All the way through the series, up to Jason X is just good fun.IF this is your idea of fun. Who doesn't know a person or two who they would like to meet good ol' Jason .

This series is quite graphic.The first movie, and the third in the series stand out as my favorites.By the fourth movie, the familiar theme of 'I'm getting too old' really starts to wear thin. The solid acting,the characters and their humor really make a great combination.
Official IMDB Netflix Amazon

The epic tale of history: good triumphs over evil.The humor in the dialogue really gives you a sense of the personalities. Putting these tales to film required alot more than your average script. The use of CGI is over the top, but there is no equal in terms of impact.Return of the King is awesome,but only after watching the first two movies.
Official IMDB Netflix Amazon

The story is wholly an american tale of martial arts. The chapters are not in sequence, but the story telling is well done.The actors and the scenes are done with great skill.
Official IMDB Netflix Amazon

The cast and the firepower in this movie are explosive. To this day, the soundtrack is clearly one to remember. The Predator is an awesome warrior, and with some great effects, the story is told in a lively jungle.The second movie failed to live up to it's star power. The Alien vs. Predator movies took the series to a new level .
IMDB Netflix Amazon

The characters are truly heroic in these movies. The dialog at times is suspect, but the movies are action-packed, and loaded with suspense. No story was better told than Star Wars. The exotic locations and strange creatures add emotion to the scenes.
Official IMDB Netflix Amazon

The special effects are still as astounding as ever.The familys' search for answers to the mysterious 'other side' take you on a journey where few travel. Poltergeist 2 holds up the plot pretty well. Poltergeist 3 'house of mirrors' theme turned out rather bland,given the untimely death of star Heather O'Rourke.
IMDB Netflix Amazon

The debut of Jamie Lee Curtis in the original Halloween was momentuous.Although the sequels tend to get boring, the original movie still carries the sparkle of up and coming actresses - Jamie and PJ Soles. I would like to know how Michael learned to drive, but that's another story.
Official IMDB Netflix Amazon

Of course you need to have seen a few of the earlier Harry Potter films to appreciate The Order of the Phoenix. Harry is mature, and performs his magic well.The cast and the scenes of this movie are good.The soundtrack is entertaining, to say the least.
