Snipes Top Ten: Movies.

Well, I got to thinkin', thinkin' alot, and realized I have never compiled a top ten movie list. Not once! So, here I am, giving it a try. Note that these are not anyone else's top ten, these are not the ten best made movies ever, or the ten most successful, no, these are the ten movies I enjoy watching the most. Nothing more.
1.) Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl - There's something about cannons, skeletons, Keira Knightley and treasure that I just find irresistible.
2.) Titan A.E - Always liked this movie, not really sure why I like it as much as I do, but I do.
3.) Immortal - A little odd, a lot strange, and all around set on destroying your mind.
4.) Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children - Final Fantasy VII. . .um. . .yeah.
5.) Lucky Number Slevin - A somehow both funny and brutal story of revenge, enjoyed it immensely.
6.) The Evil Dead - I know this seems like a 'b' movie, and it is, but it was also one of the first movies to start that particular brand of uber-gore horror married with suspense, I always felt that it pulls the combo off quite well.
7.) The Crow - Stylish action, and, well, it's just an all around good movie. The T-Bird is sweet too.
8.) Underworld and Underworld Evolution - There really wasn't enough difference between the two for me to justify them taking up two spots. Vampires, Kate Beckinsale, stylish ass kickery ensues.
9.) Star Wars: A New Hope. - Yeah, deviating from the norm here and declaring my love for the first one more than the others. Don't know why, I just watch it more.
10.) Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust - Lots of stylish fantasy action, D as a character is a little boring, but his left hand makes up for that and the of course theres Charlotte and all the other characters that are all very well done.
Well, that's Ten, I don't know how well I presented that, probably like hell, and I'm sure in a good twenty minutes I'll think of something that belongs on there more than something else. Oh well, I could ramble on forever, but I'll save you from such a sad, sorry and sickening fate, taking my sordid affairs elsewhere.

I can't believe a top ten has been made that excludes the Empire Strikes Back.

Wow, didn't know there were other people who watched Titan A.E. I'll try and come up with my top 10, but it could take a while (sooo many to choose from). I'll be doing my Top Ten books later though.

Beverly Hills Ninja was like, my favourite film ever for ages. Last time I watched it I was about eight years old, which officially means I haven't seen it in nearly a decade.
Been so long that I was beginning to think it didn't exist.
I cant be bothered to make a top ten, in all fairness. But I will say the Pirates of the Caribbean Movies are by far some of my favourite. Jack Sparrow has to be the best hero in the history of cinema.

can't say as I have a top ten movie but alot of my favourite movies have Al Pacino. Comedy movies are good but they will never be fantastic movies because in order for a movie to be great I need to watch it at least ten times and not feel sick of it.
Mobster movies tend to be well done especially the classics; Casino, Blow, Goodfellas, Godfather Trilogy. I'm also a sucker for good war movies; Saving Private Ryan, Black Hawk Down, Kingdom of Heaven (not that good on acting but the war scenes were well done.) I enjoyed a few drama movies like Scent of a Woman, Man on Fire, and Knocked Up (which had alot of comedy in it)
Cartoon/animated movies are good but they will never achieve anything more then cute in my books.
EDIT: Gah how did I forget Lucky Number Slevin? There are also a bunch of fantastic movies that I did not list because I could not think of them off the top of my head.
