80. The Passion of the Christ (2004, Mel Gibson)
Starring: Jim Caviezel
Not a film you can rewatch dozens of times, but very powerful each time you do. The violent portrayal of Jesus' punishment has received some backlash since its release, but it really adds weight to just what He went through to do what He did.
79. The Last Castle (2001, Rod Lurie)
Starring: Robert Redford, James Gandolfini, Mark Ruffalo
Initially I had absolutely no interest in this film. Then I started to watch it. Some people are just born leaders, if they want to be or not. Some people are just not cut out to be leaders, no matter how desparately they try. This film is an excellent story of what can happen when those two personalities clash.
78. Witness (1985, Peter Weir)
Starring: Harrison Ford,Kelly McGillis, Danny Glover, Viggo Mortensen
I've said before, this was the first movie that made me like Harrison Ford as a real actor, and not just as Han Solo/Indiana Jones. A wonderful performance and a really good film.
77. The Princess Bride (1987, Rob Reiner)
Starring: Cary Elwes, Mandy Patinkin, Robin Wright, Andre the Giant
Great storybook fun. I love the character of Inigo Montoya and Andre the Giant's performance is fantastic.
76. The Blues Brothers (1980, John Landis)
Starring: John Belushi, Dan Ayckroyd, Carrie Fisher
One of very few good films based on Saturday Night Live sketches. Lots of laughs, great music, fun chase scenes. Just a great way to escape for two hours.
