17. Young Frankenstein (1974)
View this video on YouTube

18. Ever After (1998)
View this video on YouTube
"I love everything about it."
19. The Wedding Singer (1998)

20. Ocean’s Thirteen (2007)
View this video on YouTube
"It took every amazing element from Ocean’s Eleven and turned it up. The witty banter between the characters, the villain you love to hate, the oh-so-satisfying way the plan comes together — this movie has infinite rewatchability.
21. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)
View this video on YouTube
"It’s the perfect end to the trilogy. (I pretend Kingdom of the Crystal Skull doesn't exist). Harrison Ford and Sean Connery are great, the action scenes are great, and them all riding off into the sunset was a perfect way to end it."
22. Knives Out (2019)
View this video on YouTube
"It's cinematic GOLD. The plot kept me guessing the whole time, the music fit perfectly, and all of the characters are so believable! Great cast!"
23. Almost Famous (2000)
View this video on YouTube
"No one had flawless hair, the makeup was normal, no name brands being promoted, no fancy clothes — it's just real all the way through. The casting was outstanding. The storyline was based on the director's real life. To this day, I still quote it."
24. Hot Fuzz (2007)
View this video on YouTube

31. The Lion King (1994)
View this video on YouTube
"Beautiful animation, a glorious soundtrack, amazing characters, funny jokes, stellar acting, a powerful villain, badass female characters...I could go on and on and on."
32. Inception (2010)
View this video on YouTube
"I hate this saying with a burning passion, but, for Inception: I 👏🏻 will 👏🏻 die👏🏻 on👏🏻 this 👏🏻 hill 👏🏻."
33. Hairspray (2007)
View this video on YouTube
"I think that the casting is exceptional (Nikki Blonsky especially, she’s so perfect and I can’t believe this was her first movie). Any cuts made to the musical were incorporated in a fun way (for example, Zac Efron singing 'Ladies Choice' at the school dance), and the choreography was so impressive! This movie defined my childhood, and the soundtrack is still on repeat throughout my house."
34. The Princess Bride (1987)
View this video on YouTube
"There is only one obvious and clear answer here."
35. Finding Nemo (2003)

38. Spirited Away (2001)

39. Rocky (1976)
View this video on YouTube
"It’s such a wonderful feel-good movie that I watch it whenever I feel blue. Sylvester Stallone’s original screenplay is superb, with many classic one-liners. Great acting, an unforgettable score, a unique love story — it’s sheer perfection from beginning to end."
40. Practical Magic (1998)
View this video on YouTube
"Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman, Stockard Channing, Dianne Wiest, Evan Rachel Wood — and that's just the main cast! The supporting cast and extras are just as much *chef's kiss*!"
41. Romeo + Juliet (1996)
View this video on YouTube
"The dialogue (Shakespeare, duh) feels modern, the cinematography is gorgeous, and I’m still obsessed with the aesthetic. The soundtrack (both added songs and original score) are epic. Every scene is a ride of love, lust, hate, pride, honor, and youth. The fish tank shot alone deserves its own award. Perfection!"
42. Logan (2017)
View this video on YouTube
"Hugh Jackman should’ve been nominated for an acting Oscar. His performance was perfect."
43. L.A. Confidential (1997)
View this video on YouTube
"It was nominated for Best Picture in 1997 and, of course, lost to Titanic. Still, the time period, the setting of a Los Angeles that has been taken over by organized crime and corrupt cops, and the complex cast of characters all make this film one of my favorites. It's flawless."
44. Emperor's New Groove (2000)
View this video on YouTube
"Every single person in the world could stand up and say it's the best movie ever made, and I'd still say it's underrated.
45. Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella (1997)
View this video on YouTube
"The diversity, the fact that Whitney freakin' Houston HAND-SELECTED Brandy the role of Cinderella, and all of Whoopi’s improvised squeaks?! They woke up like this! Flawless!"
46. Aliens (1986)
View this video on YouTube
"The character development is spot-on, they introduce so many concepts and let them simmer, then reintroduce them later in the film when appropriate. I love the realistic dialogue and, for an action/sci-fi movie, this one succeeds flawlessly. Plus, in the end, it's really just about two mothers fighting to protect their young."
47. Coming to America (1988)
View this video on YouTube
"A perfect comedy."
48. Midsommar (2019)
View this video on YouTube
"All of the Easter eggs throughout are awesome, and the acting is amazing. You can tell so much thought went into every single detail!"
49. Beauty and the Beast (1991)
View this video on YouTube
"It's complete cinematic perfection. It's beautifully animated, wonderfully acted and sung, and I will watch it until the day I die. IMHO, it's Disney's magnum opus."
50. Men in Black (1997)
View this video on YouTube
"LISTEN, THE MIB TRILOGY IS ONE OF THE BEST FILM SERIES EVER MADE, AND I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL."
51. Brokeback Mountain (2005)
View this video on YouTube
"I’ve seen this movie 20+ times, and I still cry like a baby every single time."
52. Avengers: Endgame (2019)
View this video on YouTube
"It is a perfect movie. It had to wrap up so many storylines, all while also giving a satisfying ending to the single story it was telling. It put in just enough fan service to balance it all."
53. Galaxy Quest (1999)
View this video on YouTube
"It's an incredible love letter to not only Star Trek fans, but the concept of 'fandom' in general (and was way ahead of its time on that front). Plus, you got to admire a film where Alan Rickman wore a giant gill-like headpiece, even when he wasn't in character!"
54. 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)
View this video on YouTube
"Strong female characters, great comedy moments, timeless romantic moments, and it's based on a Shakespeare play — it's iconic. I still quote it on a daily basis."
55. Back to the Future (1985)
View this video on YouTube
"It's a classic. There are SO many small details — like the Twin Pines Mall/Lone Pine Mall Easter egg — and all the little threads come together perfectly in the ending. It has to be seen more than once to notice them all!"
56. Titanic (1997)
View this video on YouTube
"Do I even need to explain this? Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Kathy Bates, Billy Zane, Victor Garber, beautiful scenery, incredible costumes, wonderful music, excitement, romance, horror, danger — it's one of the few movies that literally has EVERYTHING."
57. How to Train Your Dragon (2010)
View this video on YouTube
"Before I saw this, I had an adamant rule to never give a movie a perfect score because 'nothing is perfect.' I am grateful to this movie for proving me wrong."
58. Clue (1985)
View this video on YouTube
"I wouldn't change a single thing in it. I've seen it 100+ times, and every time it still makes me laugh. I love the large ensemble scenes because — every new time you watch it — you can focus on a different character. Each actor always does their own unique and hilarious thing."
59. And finally — Shrek (2001)
View this video on YouTube
"It's a buddy movie, an action/adventure, a comedy, a fairy tale, and a romance, all in one. The characters are flawless, the colors and cinematography are on point, the script is incredibly quotable, and the moral of the story is essential. Really, it's the onion of movies — it has layers. 100/10."
