We've been playing a game over on the Wildside Cinema forums where you list your favorite n movies. Like "top 10", etc.

You'd think that as the number got larger, it would get easier, but it doesn't. A lot of films that obviously aren't in your personal top 10 make it into your top 50, and it's a whole lot harder to narrow down that list. My first crack at my favorite top 50 had 90 movies on it, and there's no doubt that I've forgotten some.

Below are my "50 Favorite Movies".

Army of Darkness
Big Trouble in Little China
Black Pit of Doctor M
Brotherhood of the Wolf
Bubba Ho-Tep
Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death
Carrie
Dog Soldiers
Dracula (1931)
Escape from New York
Father Goose
Frankenstein (1931)
Galaxy Quest
Ginger Snaps
Goin' South
Halloween
Idle Hands
Killer Klowns from Outer Space
King Ralph
Major Payne
McLintock!
Metropolis
Monty Python's Life of Brian
My Favorite Year
Night of the Living Dead
Omnyoji
Pan's Labyrinth
Psycho
Rear Window
Saving Private Ryan
Secretary
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
Shaun of the Dead
Shogun Assassin
Slap Shot
ST: The Wrath of Khan
The Beast
The Blues Brothers
The Day the Earth Stood Still
The Descent
The Glenn Miller Story
The Incredibles
The Mummy (1932)
The Mummy (1999)
The Shawshank Redemption
Throne of Blood
Trading Places
Tremors
Whoops Apocolypse!
Zulu

It would have been nice if I could have put in things like "John Wayne's cavalry movies" or "Cary Grant movies" or "Directed by Alfred Hitchcock". I've reviewed many of these here on Rocket Jones and some over at Wildside Cinema.

Agree? Disagree? Leave comments. I'm stuck in bed sick this weekend. Amuse me or I'll start whining.

1 wow! I knew we had SOME crossover in the abnormal categories, but I didn't think it was that much.

2 Which version of Night of the Living Dead?

3 The original. I weep that you had to ask that. Just kidding, because the remake of Dawn of the Dead is almost as freakin' awesome as the original.

4 Well, I had to make sure--I remembered you really liked the remake. I just wanted to make sure you weren't delirious from fever. And next time you're weeping, get a picture, eh? I bet Derek would have a field day photoshopping that bad boy.

5 I am surprised that you have Cannibal Woman but do not have Roller Blade Warriors Taken by Force: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098216/ You'd like that one, too.
