Alltime Fave Movies By   [84 more lists]

Yeah, not exactly packed with surprises for the tastes of a 42 year old US male. I love a good film as much as anyone, but am by no means a cinefile. I'm sure I'm missing a few movies on here that i loved but only have seen once - for example Shawshank Redemption, Life Is Beautiful, even Forrest Gump really moved me the one time I saw them (along with some 70s classics), but because my memories of them are a little foggy I don't know quite where I'd Rank them.

I'll spend some more time going thru AFI picks, Oscar winners, etc lists - and of course the Ranker Community List of this topic - and update/expand this list over time.

    The brilliance of this movie is how much loving attention it fixes to the smallest parts of being a struggling, narcissistic, mediocre, hair band. It doesn't go for the easy joke, as convenient as that is. Rather, it has us laughing about deli platters, set props and bungled room reservations. Thank you for including this on your list!
