My top 5 favorite movies (which ended up being all 90's movies for some reason)

Y'all are going to hate me for this list, but its in no particular order and one is a bit girly.

1. Independence Day

This movie has a lot of action and a lot of good actors.  I especially love Will Smith, Bill Pullman and Jeff Goldblum.

2. Twister

Another good action movie.  I fear tornadoes, and thats what makes this movie amazing.  It scares me, but keeps me interested. Good actors: Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton.

3. Schindler's List

This one is just sad, but the story telling and choreography is amazing.  Good on Steven Spielberg.  Good actors: Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes (aka Voldemort), and Ben Kingsley.

4. When Harry Meet Sally
Just a good romantic comedy.  This was Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan in the height of their careers.  Amazing!

5. Princess Bride
Rob Reiner has made the list twice as a director, but this movie is also very very good.  It might even be my number one movie.  I am really not sure.  Cary Elwes is amazing as always (come to think of it he also made the list twice because he is in Twister too).  This movie also has the awesome Andre the Giant.

Other movies I love: Jurrasic Park (the first one), Monty Python and the Holly Grail, History of the World Part 1, Mogambo, To Catch a Thief, Charades, Arsenic and Old Lace, Spaceballs, Star Wars IV, Star Wars V, Star Wars VI, Star Trek (2009), Notorious (1946), Tora Tora Tora, Hunt for Red October, Sean Connery James Bond movies, Daniel Craig James Bond movies, His Girl Friday, Pillow Talk, Calamity Jane, Meet Me in St. Louis, Shop Around the Corner, Guys and Dolls, Summer Stock, Singin' in the Rain, Dial M for Murder, other Hitchcock golds, Pulp Fiction, The Dark Knight, Lord of the Rings Triology, Fight Club, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Usual Suspects (this should be on the list of top five), Leon: the Professional, Alien Triology, Spirited Away, Amelie, Wall-E, Back to the Future Triology, Inglourious Basterds, anything by Disney and Pixar, Die Hard, The Great Escape, Dirty Harry, Cool Hand Luke, The Sixth Sense, Kill Bill v. 1 and V. 2, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Ben-Hur, Ten Commandments, Gandhi, Harry Potter movies, and probably more that I have seen that I can't remember or haven't seen and is still on my list of movies to see.

Plans for the future: to make a top 100 list.  Dan Spencer are you in?
