 | Fight Club (Widescreen Edition)
Buy used from: $5.55 Definitely a favorite-Pitt and Norton are hysterical in a weird way. Keeps you entertained and then in the end delivers a wicked twist. Technically well done as well.
|
 | Breach (Full Screen Edition)
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $0.88 A movie that actually has a lot to say about the government, the FBI, etc...but doesn't get bogged down in that. Instead it focus's on complex characters and a thrilling story-whats more-its essentially a true story. Technically good, critically good, and entertaining as all get out.
|
 | Fracture (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $0.99 Underrated. Critics dismissed Hopkins performance as a knockoff of his Silence of the Lambs days. So what? Its still a great movie with a tight script, excellent filming, and a killer end.
|
 | Inside Man (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $0.10 Another movie that critics complained had too many red herrings. Actually, everything was satisfactorily explained, and in the meantime delivered a mean plot/twists, funny characters, and great dialog. Excellent Entertainment.
|
 | The Matrix
Buy used from: $0.01 Personally I think the rest of the series is stupid-but this first movie is groundbreaking. Its deliciously over the top with excellent stylized action scenes and unique filming.
|
 | Memento
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $2.31 Guy Pearce is excellent in his role as is the two supporting leads. The directors told this story backwards in ten minute segments starting with the end. Instead of getting increasingly boring-it gets increasingly more dramatic and thrilling. Technically superb.
|
 | The Sting
Buy used from: $20.98 A classic con story thats just plain entertaining the whole way through. It doesn't lag or get boring. Robert Redford is plays his part perfectly. Excellent Entertainment.
|
 | The Mask of Zorro
Buy used from: $1.67 A great adventure story with hilarious dialog, likable leads, slapstick comedy, and a fun setting. Not serious, but why be serious all the time.
|
 | XXX (Full Screen Special Edition)
Buy used from: $0.01 Critics got mad at the unbelievable action and plot full of holes...that doesn't change the fact that its one of the best action films to ever come out. The footage in Europe/the club scenes really gives it an edge. Vin Diesel is great w/ lots of attitude. So what if its unbelievable-its ENTERTAINING!!!!
|
 | Take the Lead
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $1.99 A great dance movie with decently original steps and a stellar cast. At times its hilarious, other times its just a pleasure to watch the excellent choreography. A light movie with underlying themes of compassion and new beginnings. Very entertaining.
|
 | Stardust (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $15.99 / Used from: $2.66 I can't believe it went so unnoticed. I'm not really one for fantasy, but this is just so enjoyable that it transcends its genre. It has plenty of humor, action, and great dialog. The CGI is excellent as well. All in all-technically superb and very funny.
|
 | Speed (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $1.99 Another excellent action film. At the time it was a very original concept that has been redone countless times, but its still great even though its a l
|
 | Kiss the Bride
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $0.18 Not gonna lie, this is actually just one of my favorite movies and I felt like putting it on this list, but it's not really a guy movie. (Indie drama about a wedding)
|
 | A Knight's Tale (Special Edition)
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $0.50 A very funny comedy about medieval times glossed over in a modern rock star way. Heath Ledger is hilarious of his portrayal of a wannabe knight. Light entertainment.
|
 | In Her Shoes (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $0.96 Another total chickflic I added for the fun of it.
|
 | The Great Escape
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $0.93 This is actually a very sad movie, and when I first saw it when I was like ten I cried at the end. However, its highly entertaining and keeps you entranced till the end. Steve McQueen (sp?) will forever the "cooler king".
|
 | The Truman Show (Special Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $1.78 Jim Carrey is hysterical and mesmerizing to watch at the same time. His facial expressions are truly excellent. This movie is cute, well done, carries out its far fetched plot very well, and in doing so creates a classic.
|
 | The Italian Job (Special Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $1.33 This little caper movie has it all-excellent action, great characters, real issues, great dialog, and just flows so well. Its nothing at all like the original, and in my opinion is ten times better.
|
 | The Outsiders
Buy used from: $2.96 This adaptation of S.E Hinton's classic story of the wrong side of town is truly enjoyable. Its poignant and not what one is used to seeing in your average movie. Great entertainment.
|
 | Remember the Titans (Director's Cut)
Buy new: $15.99 / Used from: $3.44 It's kind of sad, but yet not at the same time. Truly excellent depiction of the better half of the Civil Rights movement, and is also just a great movie with the acting, script, and characters to match.
|
 | The Usual Suspects (Special Editon)
Buy used from: $3.14 Another crime/drama classic with a great twist at the end that is actually one of the best carried out twists I have ever seen in a movie. Its an interesting movie, slightly above average-but in the last thirty seconds everything changes and it becomes truly excellent.
|
 | The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $4.39 I had seen this movie when I was little and had absolutely loved it, but then I was hesitant to see it now because I didn't want my memories ruined if it turned out to be stupid in an older viewer's eyes. No fear though-its still hysterically funny although I enjoy it on a different level now. A MUST!
|
 | Pride & Prejudice
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $5.23 Yes, its a "girls" movie...But it also happens to be one of the best adaptations of a classic British literature piece ever. Most guys could care less about Austen, but will watch it simply for Keira Knightley...
