I would have put “They Live,” “Big Trouble in Little China,” “Pan’s Labyrinth,” “Dark Crystal,” “Wild at Heart,” “Being John Malkovich,” “The Science of Sleep,” “Eraserhead” …

“Pan’s Labyrinth,” definitely. “Eraserhead” is from ‘77 however.

I should probably register remiscommentsaremyblog.com, but anyway …

1. Pulp Fiction (1994) (You know, I’ve never sat and watched this straight through, but I’ve seen all the pieces. I don’t revere it as much as just about everyone I know.)
2. The Lord of the Rings trilogy (2001-03) (If you didn’t love this, you’re a remouche.)
3. Titanic (1997) (Once in a while I make a principled stand and completely avoid a cultural phenomenon. Like “Survivor,” and this movie.)
4. Blue Velvet (1986)
5. Toy Story (1995) (I do like The Incredibles more, but this deserves its ranking for helping mainstream animated films as entertainment for all ages.)
6. Saving Private Ryan (1998) (Not a war movie guy.)

8. The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
9. Die Hard (1988)
10. Moulin Rouge (2001)

11. This Is Spinal Tap (1984) (Remember, St. Hubbins is the patron saint of quality footwear.)
12. The Matrix (1999)
13. GoodFellas (1990)

40. Speed (1994) (Or as Frank Costanza would call it, “The Bus.”)

41. Dazed and Confused (1993) (One-line answer for Remi: “That’s what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age.” McConaughey’s finest hour.)
42. Clueless (1995)
43. Gladiator (2000)
44. The Player (1992) (Not sure why this one reminded me, but “Glengarry Glen Ross” should be on this list as well.)
45. Rain Man (1988)
46. Children of Men (2006) (Very solid, but I finished the movie wanting a bit more from it.)
47. Men in Black (1997)
48. Scarface (1983)
49. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000)
50. The Piano (1993) (I really do hate Harvey Keitel.)

52. The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad (1988) (Not a Leslie Nielsen guy.)

81. Moonstruck (1987) (No “Pan’s Labyrinth” and no “Karate Kid,” but we get Cher?)
82. Lost in Translation (2003) (Should be way, way higher. One of my favorites over the last few years.)
83. Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn (1987) (Like with “Pulp Fiction,” many of my friends revere this series but I just don’t get it. I like Bruce Campbell better in cameos and commercials.)
84. Sideways (2004)
85. The 40 Year-Old Virgin (2005) (Yeah I liked it and all, but really? Top 100?)
86. Y Tu Mamá También (2002)
87. Swingers (1996) (Quite possibly the best most-quotable movie made by anyone ever.)

96. Far From Heaven (2002)
97. Glory (1989)
98. The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) (Really a good film, in that creepy, sickening way. Matt Damon’s solid.)
