My Favorite Films Of All Time

For my first blog I've decided to let you know my favorite films of all time. Mind you, this isn't a ‘best’ films of all time list. Therefore, absentees will include Citizen Cane, Casablanca and The Godfather. These films are personal favorites, movies that I can go back to again and again.

Without further adieu, my favorite films of all time:

10. LA Confidential
I’ve always loved a good detective story, and this is a GREAT one. Kevin Spacey, Russell Crowe, Danny DeVito and Guy Pearce make up an amazing cast. This movie is definitely a must see.



9. The Truman Show
Peter Weir is probably one of the most underrated directors of all time. The Truman show, Witness and Master and Commander all could have made this list. But, time after time, I find myself watching The Truman Show.



8. American Psycho
I love watching movies that keep you thinking long after the movie is over. I watched this movie for the first time about 10 years ago, and I’m still thinking about it. 



7. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Guy Ritchie has gangster films down to a science. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels has dark humor, violence and tension that will keep you on the edge of your seat every time.



6. Dr Strangelove
This is, without a doubt, my favorite comedy of all time. Somehow Stanley Kubrick makes the nuclear holocaust funny… can you hear me Dmitry?



5. Fight Club
It’s definitely David Fincher’s masterpiece. This movie caused such division amongst critics when it came out, that it almost had to become a cult classic. Much like A Clockwork Orange, this film had people worried that the next day we’d see people fighting in the streets. Finally, Fincher’s going to get the respect he deserves this year when The Social Network wins best picture (you heard it here first).



4. Pulp Fiction
This is another cult classic. Scaring kids away from cocaine since 1994.



3. Taxi Driver
When this movie gets going it’s hard to even fathom how it could possibly have a happy ending. All you know is that Robert De Niro is going to shoot someone. Who is he going to shoot? That is anyone's guess.



2. 2001 - A Space Odyssey
I just had to put two Kubrick Films on my list. I would say something interesting about this movie… but instead I’ll just leave it up to you.



1. Memento
This is probably the only movie I can recite. If you like Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight, The Prestige, Inception), then do yourself a favor and see this movie. Memento is, by far, my favorite movie.




Well, I hope you enjoyed my list. If you liked the movies on here check out my reviews on new releases as they come out. I’ll probably be starting on the 21st.
