Jim Carrey was my favorite actor as a kid and this is my favorite of his movies, and probably my favorite movie ever. Mind-blowing and use of old style special effects make for an AMAZING film.

This movie was sooo good. It reallys attaches you emotionally to the characters. I was seconds away from vomiting after I saw this movie, which is an amazing feat for a film. VERY DISTURBING FILM.

I had to watch this movie for my poli-sci 101 class, and now it has become one of my faves. the intense editing cuts along with philip glass' music and mcnamara's robust speaking style are great.

CLASSICS. I couldn't pick one film over the other so i put the whole trilogy in the same rank. The spec.ed. vhs is the newest stuff i can tolerate. the dvds are changed way too much.
2001 - A Space Odyssey2001 - A Space Odyssey
Buy used from: $3.56
Another classic. I can never choose between this and 2010 as my fave but i think the classic-ness of this one bumps it up. Very creepy feel to it.

Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $2.91
Where as 2001 is a great film to watch in the dark when you are in an artsy mood, this one has a plain good movie quality to it, I strongly recommend you read the books though.

Animation over live action is amazing. But the real beauty of this film comes from the philisophical content of the storyline about dreaming and waking states.
Fight Club (Widescreen Edition)Fight Club (Widescreen Edition)
Buy used from: $3.98
Didn't see this movie for a long time because i thought it was a movie about guys fighting, which it is, but it is also so much more. Mind-blowing.
Band of BrothersBand of Brothers
Buy new: $44.49 / Used from: $31.49

Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $5.69

Batman Begins (Full Screen Edition)Batman Begins (Full Screen Edition)
Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $0.98
Tim Burtonn's Batman movies were way awesome don't get me wrong but this was such a good film. Extensive focus on backstory as opposed to action made it an A+.
Serenity (Full Screen Edition)Serenity (Full Screen Edition)
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $1.10
The ending of a TV series called Firefly that got cancelled pretty quickly. Amazing story especially for a sci-fi movie.

I didn't think this movie would be very good, but the off-kilter humor is just too great to pass this film up. however, the movie is not a full on comedy.
