TEN O' MY FAVES:

• Bandits. As close to movie making perfection as you can get. Bruce, Billy-Bob, Cate and Troy absolutely nail their roles. Throw in Barry Levinson to direct and a rollickin score, and this flick is the real deal.

• Run Lola Run. More fun with red heads. Fasten your seat belt.

• Momento. GREAT plot outline and execution of very difficult concept.

• The Last Samurai. Say what you will about TC, this is an epic inside look at the code of Bushido. Ken Watanabe is incredible.
  

• Legends of the Fall. Simply superb cinematic storytelling.

• Usual Suspects. Is he or isn't he? Kevin Spacey in the role of a career as Verbal Kint. Or Keyser Sose, or both.

• Big Labowski: More fun than a barrel of primates aka the greatest bowling movie of all time. A perfect 300!
  

• Godfather. All three back to back. Make a giant pot of spaghetti (please follow Fat Clemensa's recipe), grab a decent bottle of chianti and settle in for the best historical representation of an era/family ever put to celluloid. Period. And quit bad-mouthing Sofia as an actress (petty and unnecessary).
  

• House of Flying Daggers. A visual feast. The bamboo scene is so filled with intense green, I felt like I could feel it. This may be my favorite genera.
  

• Gone in 60 Seconds. Nick is the coolest. Robert Duvall. Angie. And Elenor. "Lowrider, Donnie".
