Julianne Moore should have won an Oscar for her performance.

Their relationship becomes complicated when both of them get married to their respective girlfriends.Beautiful and heartbreaking. Should have won Best Picture in 2005.

Heath Ledger is flawless as The Joker.
- DirectorIrvin KershnerStarsMark HamillHarrison FordCarrie FisherAfter the Rebel Alliance are overpowered by the Empire, Luke Skywalker begins his Jedi training with Yoda, while his friends are pursued across the galaxy by Darth Vader and bounty hunter Boba Fett.One of the best sequels ever made. The pace is terrific, and the cliffhanger is one of the best in film history.
- DirectorWilliam FriedkinStarsEllen BurstynMax von SydowLinda BlairWhen a young girl is possessed by a mysterious entity, her mother seeks the help of two Catholic priests to save her life.The scariest movie I've ever seen.
- DirectorVictor FlemingGeorge CukorSam WoodStarsClark GableVivien LeighThomas MitchellA sheltered and manipulative Southern belle and a roguish profiteer face off in a turbulent romance as the society around them crumbles with the end of slavery and is rebuilt during the Civil War and Reconstruction periods.This is just a classic. Vivien Leigh IS Scarlett O'Hara.
- DirectorAdam ShankmanStarsJohn TravoltaQueen LatifahNikki BlonskyPleasantly plump teenager Tracy Turnblad teaches 1962 Baltimore a thing or two about integration after landing a spot on a local TV dance show.My favorite movie musical. Never fails to put a smile on my face.
- DirectorJohn CarpenterStarsDonald PleasenceJamie Lee CurtisTony MoranFifteen years after murdering his sister on Halloween night 1963, Michael Myers escapes from a mental hospital and returns to the small town of Haddonfield, Illinois to kill again.One of the greatest horror films ever made.

- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsLeonardo DiCaprioJoseph Gordon-LevittElliot PageA thief who steals corporate secrets through the use of dream-sharing technology is given the inverse task of planting an idea into the mind of a C.E.O., but his tragic past may doom the project and his team to disaster.A terrific, mind-bending film. One of the best of 2010.
- DirectorMerian C. CooperErnest B. SchoedsackStarsFay WrayRobert ArmstrongBruce CabotA film crew goes to a tropical island for a location shoot, where they capture a colossal ape who takes a shine to their blonde starlet, and bring him back to New York City.A classic. I love the 1976 and 2005 versions too, but the original 1933 version is still the best.
- DirectorC. Jay CoxStarsWes RamseySteve SandvossMary Kay PlaceA promiscuous gay party animal falls for a young Mormon missionary, leading to crisis, cliché, and catastrophe.One of my favorite gay romance films. It's so touching and sweet. I love it.
- DirectorMark WatersStarsLindsay LohanJonathan BennettRachel McAdamsCady Heron is a hit with The Plastics, the A-list girl clique at her new school, until she makes the mistake of falling for Aaron Samuels, the ex-boyfriend of alpha Plastic Regina George.This movie never fails to crack me up.
"It's like I have ESPN, or something." :) - DirectorBaz LuhrmannStarsNicole KidmanEwan McGregorJohn LeguizamoA poor Bohemian poet in 1890s Paris falls for a beautiful courtesan and nightclub star coveted by a jealous duke.The visuals are simply amazing. Plus, Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor are perfect in this movie.
- DirectorGus Van SantStarsSean PennJosh BrolinEmile HirschThe story of American gay activist Harvey Milk, who fought for gay rights and was elected as California's first openly gay official.One of the few political films I actually like. Sean Penn deserved to win Best Actor.
- DirectorWes CravenStarsHeather LangenkampJohnny DeppRobert EnglundTeenager Nancy Thompson must uncover the dark truth concealed by her parents after she and her friends become targets of the spirit of a serial killer with a bladed glove in their dreams, in which if they die, it kills them in real life.A terrifying film that is also highly imaginative. The fact that Freddy Krueger can kill you in your dreams makes him one of the best onscreen boogiemen ever.
- DirectorRussell MulcahyStarsSigourney WeaverHenry CzernyRyan KelleyTrue story of Mary Griffith, gay rights crusader, whose teenage son committed suicide due to her religious intolerance. Based on the book of the same title by Leroy Aarons.This film is just so sad. Sigourney Weaver is wonderful.
- DirectorJim SharmanStarsTim CurrySusan SarandonBarry BostwickA newly-engaged couple have a breakdown in an isolated area and must seek shelter at the bizarre residence of Dr. Frank-n-Furter.One of the most fun and imaginative films ever made. Let's do the "Time Warp" again!
- DirectorJonah MarkowitzStarsTrevor WrightBrad RoweTina HolmesWhen his college dreams are sidelined by family obligations, a young man finds comfort in surfing with his best friend's brother.My favorite gay romance film. This is also a great coming of age film. It always makes me feel warm and gooey inside.
- DirectorGeorge LucasStarsMark HamillHarrison FordCarrie FisherLuke Skywalker joins forces with a Jedi Knight, a cocky pilot, a Wookiee and two droids to save the galaxy from the Empire's world-destroying battle station, while also attempting to rescue Princess Leia from the mysterious Darth Vader.One of the best fantasy films ever made. I've loved this film for so many years. The sequels are great too, but the original is my favorite.
- DirectorElia KazanStarsVivien LeighMarlon BrandoKim HunterDisturbed Blanche DuBois moves in with her sister in New Orleans and is tormented by her brutish brother-in-law while her reality crumbles around her.Another classic that is terrific in every sense of the word. It doesn't get any better than Marlon Brando as Stanley Kowalski and Vivien Leigh as Blanche Dubois.
- DirectorRichard DonnerStarsChristopher ReeveMargot KidderGene HackmanAn alien orphan is sent from his dying planet to Earth, where he grows up to become his adoptive home's first and greatest superhero.This film is just so much fun and so wonderful. Christopher Reeve IS Superman, and always will be. The Superman theme by John Williams always gives me chills.
- DirectorJames CameronStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerLinda HamiltonMichael BiehnA human soldier is sent from 2029 to 1984 to stop an almost indestructible cyborg killing machine, sent from the same year, which has been programmed to execute a young woman whose unborn son is the key to humanity's future salvation.I love this movie. Many consider "Terminator 2" to be the best, but the pace of the first one is so relentless, plus Arnold Schwarzenegger makes such an effective and scary villain.
- DirectorTobe HooperStarsMarilyn BurnsEdwin NealAllen DanzigerFive friends head out to rural Texas to visit the grave of a grandfather. On the way they stumble across what appears to be a deserted house, only to discover something sinister within. Something armed with a chainsaw.This movie never fails to scare the crap out of me. The documentary style of it makes the film even more terrifying. One of the most disturbing films ever made.
- DirectorJames CameronStarsLeonardo DiCaprioKate WinsletBilly ZaneA seventeen-year-old aristocrat falls in love with a kind but poor artist aboard the luxurious, ill-fated R.M.S. Titanic.I can't help it, I've loved this film ever since I saw it at the movie theater way back in January 1998, for the first of many times. This film and "Star Wars" (I saw "Star Wars" for the first time on VHS in 1997) really began my love of movies. Also, the movie itself is fantastic. I've been in love with "Titanic" for over 13 years, and I couldn't be happier about it.
- DirectorJohn LasseterStarsTom HanksTim AllenDon RicklesA cowboy doll is profoundly threatened and jealous when a new spaceman action figure supplants him as top toy in a boy's bedroom.This film is just so fun and whimsical. One of the highlights from my childhood.
- DirectorJohn LasseterAsh BrannonLee UnkrichStarsTom HanksTim AllenJoan CusackWhen Woody is stolen by a toy collector, Buzz and his friends set out on a rescue mission to save Woody before he becomes a museum toy property with his roundup gang Jessie, Prospector, and Bullseye.This is even better than the first, in my opinion.
- DirectorLee UnkrichStarsTom HanksTim AllenJoan CusackThe toys are mistakenly delivered to a day-care center instead of the attic right before Andy leaves for college, and it's up to Woody to convince the other toys that they weren't abandoned and to return home.The best out of the three. This was the best film of 2010, by far. Of course I loved "Black Swan" and"Inception," but this film just touched me deep inside. I think this film was made more for those of us who got to see the original as kids back in 1995. It was like saying goodbye to an old friend. The ending was perfect.
- DirectorJames MangoldStarsJoaquin PhoenixReese WitherspoonGinnifer GoodwinA chronicle of country music legend Johnny Cash's life, from his early days on an Arkansas cotton farm to his rise to fame with Sun Records in Memphis, where he recorded alongside Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins.I just love this film. Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon were terrific as Johnny Cash and June Carter.
- DirectorVictor FlemingKing VidorStarsJudy GarlandFrank MorganRay BolgerYoung Dorothy Gale and her dog Toto are swept away by a tornado from their Kansas farm to the magical Land of Oz, and embark on a quest with three new friends to see the Wizard, who can return her to her home and fulfill the others' wishes.Come on, who doesn't love "The Wizard Of Oz?" I of course grew-up watching this movie, starting with the old VHS taped from a late-80's CBS TV broadcast (yes, I still remember the station. :) ) Judy Garland was amazing.
