All Time Favorites - My Top 5's

I always enjoy reading other peoples lists of all time favorites, whether it be movies, books, people, songs, singers, albums, whatever, I enjoy the top 5 lists.  This may be why I like the movie High Fidelity so much but who knows for sure.  With High Fidelity in mind I think I will start today with my top 5 movies, non genre specific.
5.  High Fidelity – for the simple reason that it gave me the idea to start this post, John Cusack has managed to worm one of his movies into my top 5.  Although according to him it may be disqualified for its direct referencing but fuck it.
4.  300 – If you don’t walk away from this movie wanting to grab a shield and sword you have no adrenaline in your system.  I loved what they did with the CGI and apparently I am not alone with the recent increase of similar style films.  Just plain old fun to watch.
3.  Gone in 60 Seconds – You don’t need to yell at me I am aware that it has some pretty horrendous acting in this but I fucking love to watch this flick.  And that Eleanor has one fine tail you can’t deny that.
2.  Dazed and Confused – This carries my back to my high school days in more ways than one and makes me long for the days that once were.  Once again I can’t even count the amount of times I have seen it and have quoted it but it is just a great feel good movie to me.
1.  The Big Lebowski – This is by far my all time top favorite movie.  I can’t even begin to count the amount of times I have watched it let alone quoted it.  The Coan brothers outdid themselves with this gem and I firmly believe that the world would be a different place, and not for the better, if some of us had not been introduced to the Dude, Walter, and Donny.  If you haven’t seen it you need to leave right now and go and see it.  I can’t guarantee that you will like it, but you have to experience it.

This is me at Halloween

Talk amongst yourselves, I’m a little verklempt
