Surprisingly original! I actually thought it was BETTER than The Sixth Sense.
RansomRansom
Buy used from: $2.99
Unbelievable suspense! Gary Sinise deserved an Oscar nod.
Finding Nemo (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)Finding Nemo (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $18.99 / Used from: $9.49
The best Pixar film ever, better even than Monsters, Inc. (and I love Monsters, Inc.). Ellen Degeneres (Dory) totally stole the show!
The Sixth Sense (Two-Disc Vista Series)The Sixth Sense (Two-Disc Vista Series)
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $2.90
Incredible movie!!! Uncharacteristic role for Bruce Willis that was surprisingly effective.

Sweet revenge! Loved James Caviezel and Luis Guzman.
Memento (Widescreen Two-Disc Limited Edition)Memento (Widescreen Two-Disc Limited Edition)
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $5.49
Groundbreaking movie that really makes you think. What really is reality?
Mississippi BurningMississippi Burning
Buy used from: $3.74
Powerful movie about racism in the 1960s Deep South. That scene with Lee Ermey tied up in the shack has to be the greatest intimidation scene ever made.
The Usual Suspects (Special Editon)The Usual Suspects (Special Editon)
Buy used from: $7.00
Spectacular plot, spectacular characters, spectacular acting, spectacular movie. :) My favorite role was actually Kevin Pollack, as Hockney.
Sherlock Holmes - The Scarlet ClawSherlock Holmes - The Scarlet Claw
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $11.94
Basil Rathbone is the ONLY Sherlock Holmes, and this one was unquestionably the best of his run. Very dark and very gripping.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - Criterion CollectionFear and Loathing in Las Vegas - Criterion Collection
Buy new: $24.99 / Used from: $11.50
Simultaneously disturbing, shocking, and downright hilarious. Johnny Depp's BEST role. Way quotable: "This is bat country!" "Is this not a reasonable place to park?"
ClerksClerks
Buy new: $23.99 / Used from: $7.49
Kevin's Smith's first unforgettable movie. So true to life about working in customer service.
JFK - Director's Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition)JFK - Director's Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $8.24
Stone at his most conspiratorial (and let's be realistic--we'll never know what really happened that day in Dallas). But nevertheless, this is still one fantastic piece of moviemaking!
The Untouchables (Special Collector's Edition)The Untouchables (Special Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $3.18
Awesome Mafia movie, and a superb performance by Sean Connery! "Here endeth the lesson."
You Only Live TwiceYou Only Live Twice
Buy used from: $3.95
My favorite James Bond. And for the record, NOBODY could be James Bond except Sean Connery.
Live and Let DieLive and Let Die
Buy used from: $2.75
My other favorite James Bond. I do think Roger Moore makes a good Bond, but he'll never hold a candle to Connery's bad boy.
Fight Club (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)Fight Club (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $7.47
This is one wild and crazy movie! But heed these words from Tyler: "The things you own end up owning you."
The ConversationThe Conversation
Buy new: $7.49 / Used from: $3.95
Coppola's most underrated movie (coming betweem the first two Godfathers). The boardroom scene (with Gene Hackman, Robert Duvall, and a young Harrison Ford) has me in awe with the starpower there.
The Longest YardThe Longest Yard
Buy used from: $2.20
The greatest football movie ever!!!
The Bourne Supremacy (Widescreen Edition)The Bourne Supremacy (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $2.15
Every bit as good as the original. I STILL think Jason Bourne is Matt Damon's best role.
The InsiderThe Insider
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $2.11
Amazing movie. Almost equals Mann's other masterpiece Heat.
L.A. ConfidentialL.A. Confidential
Buy used from: $2.10
ON the record and NOT so hush-hush, this movie rocks!!!
Field of Dreams (Widescreen Two-Disc Anniversary Edition)Field of Dreams (Widescreen Two-Disc Anniversary Edition)

My favorite James Earl Jones role. And a great baseball movie.
Good Will Hunting (Miramax Collector's Series)Good Will Hunting (Miramax Collector's Series)

Matt Damon and Robin Williams are just two awesome actors. Tell me how you like THEM apples!!!
Mulholland DriveMulholland Drive
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $3.39
Now THIS is a mind-bender!!! Hated it at first, but once I figured it out . . . wow!!! All I can say now is, "Silencio."
