4. The Shawshank Redemption

"Such an incredibly powerful film. Was my personal favorite for many years."
9. American History X

10. Amélie
"Amélie is fucking delightful."
11. City of God
"City of God is just life wrapped up in one film, ranked as a movie to see before you die."
12. Grave of the Fireflies
"[Grave of Fireflies], especially if you’re the sort of person who thinks animated movies are for kids only. Animation has the potential to tell poignant, mature stories and that movie is a great example of that."
13. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
"If someone has not seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail, they are incomplete as a person."
14. Up
"I know it’s a kid’s movie, but the first five minutes really wake me up to how precious life is."
15. Requiem for a Dream
"That shit will scare you from ever doing drugs in your life."
16. Life Is Beautiful
"Life Is Beautiful breaks my heart every time."

17. Saving Private Ryan
"It’s an amazing movie, but the first 20 minutes or so with the beach scene...that should be required watching. War is not something the average person will ever experience, but that scene shows some horrific imagery. Plus it’s just a good damn movie."
18. The Silence of the Lambs
"Hello, Clarice."
19. Back to the Future
"Great. Scott."
20. Ferris Bueller's Day Off
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it."
21. Dead Poets Society
"O' Captain! My Captain!"
22. Pulp Fiction
"SAY WHAT AGAIN."
23. Boyz n the Hood

24. The Breakfast Club
"Everyone should watch The Breakfast Club before starting high school."
25. The Blues Brothers
"It's my favorite movie of all time. There's so much awesome stuff in it. Plus tons of absolute music legends."
26. Goodfellas
"I love this movie. I don’t know why, but as a child it was always one of my favorites. It brings back a lot of nostalgia for me and is oddly a good Saturday afternoon, easy-watching movie for me."
27. It's a Wonderful Life
"It's such a nice film with a nice message, even if you don't celebrate Christmas, and I think we always need a bit more happiness in our world."
28. Good Will Hunting
"It's not your fault."
29. The Truman Show
"Good afternoon, good evening, and good night!"
