My top 10
1.
Scarface
- come one, you can't watch an episode of "cribs" without seeing a Scarface poster or dvd box set
2.
The Usual Suspects
- I have yet to meet someone that saw this movie and didn't like it. A classic!! "the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And like that.....he's gone"
3.
Heat
- Pacino/De niro + one of the greatest "shoot em up" scenes ever filmed. "I'm talking to a dead man"
4.
Rudy
- I still get choked up when i watch this movie. IMO the only film where its acceptable for a guy to "get dirt in his eye"
5.
Pulp Fiction
- Travoltas come back film. Quentin Tarantino at his finest (that dude has some issues)
6.
Full Metal Jacket
- One of the best military movies ever made. For you young guys...please watch it. And dont get caught up on the fact that its "coach" from Saving Silverman
7.
Die Hard
- THE ORIGINAL!! Not with the dad from "good times" or with the Mac kid...the 1988 original. (what ever happened to Argyle?)
8.
Reservoir Dogs
- Arguably QT's best
9.
Office Space
- I love this movie....maybe because i work in an office, and maybe because i have the urge to fillet a fish at my desk some mornings. "i tell ya what i'd do.....two chics at the same time"
10.
Fight Club
- i think most of us have a lil Tyler Durdan in us....some of us are more Tyler than the rest.
honorable mention: Caddy Shack, Big Lebowski, Swingers, Matrix (the original), Blade (the original)

I'm not going to harp on you for your personal opinion and say which movies you shoulda put on. I'll just express my own opinion considering all of you picks.
1. That's because celebrities lack imagination,
2. We haven't formally met yet, but I didn't like it. The twist at the end was good, but the rest of the flick was kinda like a PG-13 version of heat.
3. Yes it was a good scene, but it didn't carry the rest of film, including the horribly slow plot and limited dialogue.
4. Can't complain, this was a solid movie and it was great to see Roc on screen.
5. Ironically this is also #5 on the most overated films of all time. Travolta overacts, Sam Jackson yells and screams, Willis plays a silent anti-hero type figure, oh wait this is every other movie ever made rolled into one.
6. Based on violence and quotable lines alone, this movie belongs in the top ten. Good job
7. Never seen it, so I can't comment.
8. Everyone remembers the ear cutting scene, and it's the only time I've seen Madsen do a scene where I didn't think, "dude you really suck, why do people keep putting you in movies?"
9. I hated this movie because i work in an office. You know after 50 hours at the office a week, the last thing I wanna do is go watch a movie that reminds me of being at the office.
10. I love this movie, but I disagree with your point. I think most of us are like Ed Norton wishing we were Tyler Durdin. Come on, he's cool, he's anti-establishment, he lives by his own rules oh yah and he looks like Brad Pitt so he can bed any woman he wanted to. Not really a lot of us out there like that.
