My Top Ten

Here are my top 10 favorite movies ever. These will likely change, as great movies are made often. Here's my list, from 10 counting down to 1:

10. The Commitments (1991)
An Irish music fan starts an American Soul cover band, in Northern Dublin. Hilarity, and amazing talent, does ensue. I couldn't find an English language trailer, so here's "da fookin short version":


9. Wedding Crashers (2005)
The comedic team of Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, in conjunction with Isla Fisher's performance as the obsessed nymphomaniac, perfected this movie. And Rachel McAdams is WAAAY hotter as a brunette:


8. Easy Rider (1969)

Motorcycles, drugs, hippies, drugs, Jack Nicholson, drugs, and amazing motorcycle ride panoramics. Couldn't find a trailer for this one, but here's a great monologue by Jack:


7. The Last Starfighter (1984)
Can you imagine if you beat a video game, which just happened to be a training module utilized to find "gifted" starfighters? Imagine if you were then swept up to defend the galaxy.


6. Swingers (1996)

You're money, baby. No trailer available, so here's the Gretzky scene.


5. Grandma's Boy (2006)
A Happy Madison film without Sandler, starring Allen Covert, who everyone knows from all of the other Sandler films. People who've seen this know exactly what I'm talking about. Sandler can't be in it because marijuana smoking is extremely prominent in this movie. Here's the DDR challenge scene.


4. The Last Dragon (1985)
"Who's the baddest mofo lowdown 'round this town?" This movie made me want the glow.


3. Dazed and Confused (1993)

I was 1 year old in the year this movie was set, but I graduated from high school the summer this came out, hence my love of this movie.


2. Revenge of the Nerds (1984)

Hair Pie! This movie is classic. And now the best part of the movie:


1. The World's Fastest Indian (2005)

I'm going to go 200 mph on a motorcycle because of this movie. This is a true story.
