Top 25 Favorite Movies of All Time

Every scene from this film looked as if it were taken from a painting. Although somewhat violent, it is the most visually stunning film I have ever seen. The acting and the story were well done too.

One of the best drama and adventure films I have ever seen. Shows the resilience of the human will.

Full of energy, adrenaline, and stunning special effects, this is perhaps my favorite action film.

There is no better movie that has captured the darkness of the Jewish Holocaust than this one. Very well done. The story is magnificent and dramatic.

A movie that was able to show the darkness of the Holocaust without actually showing the darkness. A story of how a father protected his son from the horrors of this time. And, who somehow was able to remain optimistic throughout this period.

This is Peter Jackson's best work in my estimation. Aside from one slow moving segment of the film, this was full of adventure and stunning effects.

I remember seeing this as a kid and every scene has stuck with me ever since. The best sci-fi, space, movie ever made.

Another great sci-fi movie with some of the most stunning effects I've ever seen. I liked how Ridley Scot tied faith with science (reason) in this film.

Some of the best acting I've ever seen. Crimson Tide is a 1995 submarine film directed by Tony Scott, produced by Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer. It takes place during a period of political turmoil in the Russian Federation, in which ultranationalists threaten to launch nuclear missiles at the United States and Japan.
