*clears his throat* MY TOP 13 FAVORITE MOVIES!
I know it says top 10 but I cannot in good conscience leave out some of these movies.

13. Troy - Though I am not a huge fan of Brad Pitt, he did a great job as Achilles in this well known story of a war between two great states in ancient Greece.

12. Signs - Mel Gibson, Joaquin Phoenix, and M. Knight all working together? Yeah that's a damn good movie. You gotta see this one if you haven't.

11. Star Wars III - Ok I know that the original 3 were really great, but I thought that this one was the best. You just can't beat non-stop action. Though the end could have been done a little better, it was still a great film that I have watched many many times.

10. The Fellowship of the Ring - Damn good movie as probably all of you know. Oddly enough I didn't like it the first time I saw it...though I blame that on the company I had with me. lol

9. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Wow that's a long title for a movie...wasn't sure about this one when I first heard of it, but it turned out to be awesome. Who of you didn't think Jim Carrey couldn't act? Well you were wrong. Watch the movie.

8. Saving Private Ryan - Well, aside from the awesome cast, this movie was extraordinarily well done. There is no better way to experience what those men in WWII had to go through than to watch this movie and get a small taste of the horror that they saw and survived. Buy it, watch it, remember it.

7. Tears of the Sun - Very well done by the director. Not to mention that it was long overdue to expose the public to the horrors that go on in Africa all of the time through film. The supporting cast was great, though I thought that Bruce Willis' performance was lacking. But despite that it's my #7. Oh btw, if you're interested in this kinda stuff you should read 'How Da Body' about the conflict in Sierra-Leonne.

6. The Last Samurai - Though some of you probably think this movie was kinda cheesey and that Tom Cruise shouldn't be in it...I don't care. I liked it lol.

5. Munich - In case you haven't seen this one it is definitely Eric Bana at his best. I wasn't sure how a movie about the Israeli Olympic tragedy would go over, but it was extremely well done and should be watched by all.

4. American Pie Series - Though I haven't seen the newest one (Band Camp) the original series and cast were great. Definitely the funniest movies I have ever seen. Not to mention that you get to see girls making out...lol

3. Return of the King - Best movie of the series. Though it was somewhat dragged out at the end, it had to be done as there was a lot of stuff to sort out.

2. Kingdom of Heaven - Definitely a must see, but then again so is anything done by Ridley Scott...very well done movie outlining a pivotal point during the crusades late in the 12th century.

1. Black Hawk Down - Not often are we reminded of just how vulnerable we are at home and abroad. Even the most elite of us can be brought down by a large enough force. Watch this movie if you haven't already, you will never see a movie dealing with a tougher struggle than that which faced 100 soldiers stuck in a city of thousands that were out to kill them.
