10. Inception- A movie about dreams, who doesn't love that. We all try to analyze our dreams and it was kinda cool to see a movie try to show what that could be like if we could actually go in our dreams and control them.
9. Les Mis- A musical in the top ten may seem odd but I'm comfortable with my sexuality to place it this high. Who doesn't love to sing along to I dreamed a dream.
8. 10 Things I Hate About You- A movie from my teenage years that had Julia Stiles, Joesph Gordon-Levitt and Heath Ledger all before they were stars. Everyone knew it wasn't fair that Bianca could only date when Kat dated.
7. Dark Knight- The second Batman movie of the trilogy by Christopher Nolan is by far the best and that is mostly due to the performance of Heath Ledger as the Joker. The opening scene to this movie is my favorite start to any movie ever.
6. The Notebook- Great love story as who doesn't love Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. We have all seen this movie and I'm guessing a few of you even let out a little tear.
5. An American Tail- A great movie from my childhood that I watched every day. Now don't get this movie confused with Fievel goes West, that movie was garbage and just a movie studios attempt to capture lightning in a bottle twice.
4. The Shawshank Redemption- Get busy living or get busy dying. A great quote from this movie that I like to live my everyday life. You really pull for Andy trying to get out and really stick it to the warden. I never read the book this movie is based on hard to imagine it's any better than the movie, and no one ever says that.
3. The Prestige- The greatest twist of an ending to any movie I have ever seen. Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman are amazing and of course a movie directed by Christopher Nolan is going to be great.
2. Love Actually- I watch this movie about ten times every year around Christmas and it never gets old. You can relate to all the characters because it simply is a story about love. There are endless moments in this film that you just smile and cheer for the couple on screen. A timeless classic.
1. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles- This is the number one film and really it's not even close. I could watch this movie every night and never get sick of it. So many quotable lines and memorable scenes. A great ending that makes you laugh and cry at the same time. Legendary comedians John Candy and Steve Martin couldn't have been better cast and John Hughes one of the great directors of our time is at his finest.
