Top Movies

So I decided one thing I might try to do (over Christmas break...if I can) is to watch some of the top rated movies. I looked online on IMDB (Internet Movie Database) and a few other websites to see which movies they thought/or were rated by thousands of people to be the best movies.

The thing is....I'm not much of an "old movie" type person and of course that was mainly what was listed...so I think I will merge some of the overall movies with some of the best of 2000s and also Academy Award Best Picture Winners. As for now, here is the list I have come up with (not in any particular order):

1. The Godfather

2. Schindler's List

3. Shawshank Redemption

4. The Graduate

5. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

6. The Dark Knight

7. Pulp Fiction

8. Fight Club

9. Momento

10. The Pianist

11. WALL-E

12. Requiem for a Dream

13. The Hurt Locker

14. Crash

15. It's A Wonderful Life

16. Gone With the Wind

17. Chicago

18. A Beautiful Mind

19. Rain Man

20. The Prestige

21. The English Patient

22. City of God

23. Psycho

24. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

25. The Goonies - courtesy of Kristin - haha

There are others listed, but they either really don't appeal to me (there are pretty much all the Star Wars movies, Lord of the Rings, and older ones I'm not 100% interested in) or I have already seen them (The Departed, ET, Toy Story 3, Hotel Rwanda, Slumdog Millionaire, Million Dollar Baby, Forrest Gump, Gladiator, Up, The Silence of the Lambs, The Wizard of Oz, Inception, etc).

You might be thinking....it is going to be expensive to watch all those movies...welllll I got Netflix for free for one month and if I can't finish then it is only $10/month after that, so definitely a great deal.
