Ten Movies I Think are the Ten Best Movies of All Time.

* Not expecting everyone to agree here.

1. The Shawshank Redemption. Okay, I expect you to agree here. Phenomenal! Love it, could watch it a million times. And it's one of the only movies where the voice-over technique doesn't annoy the bejeebers out of me.
2. The American President. (Don’t even attempt to say it’s cheesy, Nasty things will happen to your karma. I can recite it line by line. If you are looking for a pressie for me, get this for me on DVD.)
3. Dirty Dancing. (Nobody puts Baby in a corner!)
4. Fight Club. (Skilled acting, skilled directing, skilled writing. Think I will write a thesis about it.)
5. Harold and Maude. (Now I want an E-type Jag hearse and a home in a train carriage too. What a great way to discover Cat Stevens.)
6. The Sixth Sense. (I can see dead people: it makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck every time.)
7. Practical Magic. (Rom-coms with magic—great combo. I love Sandra. I love impossible formulas for men you can fall I love with. I should watch it again, and then make a list of lists of impossible attributes for a lover.)
8. Pulp Fiction/Memento/21 Grams. (All plopped into together because despite what makes them unique, it’s their distorted timelines that make them amazing.)
9. Grease. (Rom-coms with singing—another great combo. Riz is one of my all time favourite characters to empathise with. I love her. I want to be her. I want her red and black prom dress.)
10. Die Hard. (Mainly the first one. I know you are questioning its inclusion, but I would watch it every time it comes on so until I remember something else I think that qualifies it for its place here. Yipee-kai-yay, m*&%$@ f(%6%#^.)
