Okay, here I go. These are not in order from least to greatest, just my 25 faves.
25.
Falling Down, the only Joel Schumacher film I ever enjoyed. It takes a familiar concept by having the main protagonist be an everyman, or underdog as it would seem, but it doesn't take long to realize that he's on the verge of a mental breakdown. The movie kind of indites society as well, and Michael Douglas' performance was great.
24.
Gaslight, a 1944 thriller, starring Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman about an unscrupulous husband who slowly drives his wife mad, and question her own sanity. The film really makes you empathize with the main character, seeing as losing one's mind is the most horrifying circumstance to comprehend.
23.
The Odd Couple a 1968 comedy, starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthu as two disgruntled room mates. This movie never gets the old, the interactions between the slovenly Matthau, and neurotic Lemmon are hysterical.
22.
Tales From The Crypt the 1972 British horror anthology, starring Joan Collins, Peter Cushing, and directed by Freddie Francis is a much darker, macabre translation of the E.C. horror comics. One story in particular, about a magical wish-granting idol, I found to be very disturbing.
21.
Lucas the 1986 teen comedy/drama, starring Corey Haim as a nerdy outcast who is befriended by the most popular girl in school, and has to deal with bullies. I could really relate to this movie as a kid, being kind of a nerd.
20.
Reservoir dogs
The 1992 introductory film by Quentin Tarantino, I can't say anything new, except that I like the idea of a story being told in a non-linear fashion, and the actors and dialog are all top notch.
