The Top 10 Movies Of All Time: Part 1




10. Saving Private Ryan: Without a doubt the most realistic world war 2 movie ever. The beginning scenes of Omaha Beach are the most incredibly raw and gut wrenching battle scenes I will ever see. Men being gunned down like dogs, and peoples guts being blown into oblivion is enough to make my sking crawl just thinking about it. This realism and raw filming of real events paired with the incredible acting by hanks and the flow of the story line easily puts this movie in my top 10 list. I would however caution any World War 2 veterans to not see this movie as the scenes are so horrific it could seriously disturb them.




9. Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back: I would be very remissed if I didnt include a star wars movie on my top 10 list. You and everyone else you know has heard the phrase "Luke, I am your father." You and everyone you known has also fantasized about flying through space in the millenium falcon and slashing at people with your light saber. This movie is permenantly ingraned into our culture and there is no end to the references, parodies, and copys of this incredible timeless movie and series.





8. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon: This movie is without question the best love story Ive been able to sit through in the theatre. It is a medly of classic kung fu movie action, an epic plot, and a a beautiful love story. These elements combine together to make a very entertaining movie, and one that could squeeze out a few tears. Chow Yun Fat plays his part perfectly. It seems as though he is just being himself in every scene. It is definately the movie he is best known for, and it was a sure career maker.



7. Psycho: Yes, here it is, the movie that began the horror flick genre. The first slasher, the first screamer, the first shower murder scene that bore all the others, Hitchcocks Psycho. Also the music in this movie is without question the most fitting to a movie ever. It will get your blood pumping very qucikly, not for the feint of heart. A young woman on the run from her past life chooses to stay at the off the road Bates Hotel. Little does she know the owner is a psychopathic murderer who dresses up like momma, and "shes" a little pissed Norman is into her. Let the bloodbath begin....literally.
Which movie will take the cake? Keep reading!
