I want to say right now that there are definitely some films I really like that I know are TECHNICALLY better than some of these, but the name of the poll is favorites. These are my favorite films to rewatch multiple times regardless of whether or not they were all technically well made. By the way this was extremely hard to do




1. Goodfellas
2. Jaws
3. Aliens
4. Sin City
5. Heat
6. Jackie Brown
7. Pulp Fiction
8. The Empire Strikes Back
9. Predator
10. Kill Bill 1 & 2 (I consider them one huge film)
11. Halloween
12. Friday The 13th/ A Nightmare On Elm Street (Tie)
13. Freddy Vs. Jason (I just want to say I like most of the sequels in the Friday/Nightmare series. However, that is way too many films to put in a top 20 films poll, so I decided to do it this way for my 13th pick not so coincidentally.)
14. From Dusk Till Dawn
15. Dogma
16. True Romance
17. Dawn Of The Dead 2004 version (Sorry guys, I love the original, but I honestly prefer the remake. I think they did a fantastic job with it, and it's very rewatchable for me.)
18. Snatch
19. Scarface
20. The Evil Dead parts 1 & 2.


I'd also like to give honorable mentions to the following films that didn't quite make the top 20, but I love them all anyway.
The 'Burbs
Hellraiser 1 & 2
The War Of The Roses
Pirates Of The Caribbean
Stripes
What About Bob?
Back To The Future Trilogy
The Hard Way
Spiderman 1 &2
Collateral

Best, random order. Like Manos, I count Kill Bill as one movie. I have way more than 20 favorites, but that was the limit.

I loved Revolutions, but there are many films I'd rank ahead of it. But I did feel that it was the only way the trilogy could end, and it did so rathar well.

[NerdGroupie]

I freakin love The Matrix.
