30) Peter Pan- This was a very hard choice to make. Walt Disney and his team created such a wonderful group of classic feature-length cartoons. Which one to choose? Sleeping Beauty? Alice in Wonderland? 101 Dalmations? I had to go with Peter Pan. It is of course my link to my childhood, Disneyland, and a choir tour during my junior year of high school.
29) Schindler’s List- It's not easy to watch this movie, but I don't know if any movie (other than Saving Private Ryan) has ever affected me so deeply. Your life is changed after watching a movie like this. That's real power in art.
28) Terminator 2: Judgment Day- I collected Terminator 2 trading cards. Yeah. I know.
27) Point Break- The all-time best guilty pleasure ever! Patrick Swayze is so freaking cool. His name is Bohdi for freaking sake!
26) White Christmas- "The best things, happen while you're dancing..."
25) E.T.- This was my first favorite movie! Every time I watch it, or even think about it, my childhood comes rushing back. I love, love, love this movie.
24) Home Alone- I know this is a strange movie to be so high up on my list of all-time favorites. But this is my go to "feel-good" movie. I will watch it in the middle of the summer if I'm feeling stressed or blue. It's Christmas. Pure Christmas.
23) Inception- The hallway battle scene is one of the best things ever put on film. Christopher Nolan's best movie and one of Leonardo DiCaprio's best, as well.
22) Aliens- James Cameron knows how to make a sequel (Terminator 2). This movie took a totally different direction from the small, claustrophobic feel of the original and gave it a huge, claustrophobic feel. So crazy and creepy! "Game over, man! Game over!"
21) The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers- Great musical themes, introduction of Gollum, Helm's Deep, King Theoden, Faramir...Brilliance in film making.
