It's important to remember that this is the top ten movies I've seen. There are still a bunch of movies I have yet to see. I'm sure after seeing them, my list would change.

10. Conspiracy Theory

This was a tough one. The top nine came to me easy, it was the tenth movie that I could think about. I like this movie because of Mel and Patrick. The captain was evil and creepy evil. Mel was weird, creepy wierd. Lot's of good twists and turns.  Click here to purchase Conspiracy Theory.

9. The Full Monty

Excellent movie about male strippers. What I liked was the fact that these men were everyday men, who needed money and would strip for it. It was like imaging your dad or even myself having to do this. I was caught up in the apprehension and fun and having to strip. Click here to purchase The Full Monty.

8. Amistad

Good historical drama. I've always been ambivalent about historical films because they've seem too episodic. Amistad was an excellent example of storytelling. I also appreciated the explanation of the gospel near the middle of the movie. Click here to purchase Amistad - DTS.

7. Titanic

I've always been one for the underdog. Titanic is not an underdog. It's an epic film and will probably win Best Picture. I personally don't think it should win. Having said that, Titanic is an excellent film. For its 3 ½ hours, I was captivated all the way through. Wonderful love story and excellent retelling of the fateful cruse. But I like others better.

6. The Apostle

I saw this one last weekend and it was very good. It dragged at times a wonderful film none the less. Robert Duvall portrayed a complete original and accurate Pentecostal evangelist. He has flaws, but definitely knows what he was meant to be. Go see this film. Click here to purchase The Apostle.

5. LA Confidential

What do I look for in movies? Entertainment and story. For me entertainment often supersedes stories. LA Confidential is definitely a great story. Characters interweaving until finally the crime is solved. Kevin Spacey is great as usual. Click here to purchase L.A. Confidential.

4. My Best Friend's Wedding

Funny, Funny, Funny!!! The first movie I bought on DVD. As a single person, I really identified with the ultimate search for the perfect one and the fear of telling someone how we feel. It's the movies that I connect with that I really enjoy. Click here to purchase My Best Friend's Wedding.

3. Austin Powers

Funny, Funny, Funny, Funny!!! The top three films are the movies that I've seen twice (willingly). Austin Powers is a smart spoof of James Bond spy movies. It's hilarious, smart and Elizabeth Hurley is a babe. You must see this movie. Click here to purchase Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery.

2. The Rainmaker

What I liked about Rainmaker was that there were no car chases, gun fights and no one is killed by organized crime. Rainmaker is about a recently graduated law student who has a great deal of idealism and a desire to see the underdog win. The centers around a insurance case but the side cases are just as important in developing the main character. Click here to purchase The Rainmaker.

1. Good Will Hunting

Remember, it's the movies that I connect with that I really enjoy. Good Will Hunting is exactly that movie. A story about a brilliant man hiding behind his insecurities and never really exploring his real potential in life and in love. There is foul language and a scene of crude sexual humor. Once you get beyond that you have a thought provoking film. Click here to purchase Good Will Hunting - Collector's Edition.
