patrick's top ten movies

here's my top ten favorite movies...





10. gangs of new york
bill the butcher is raw. the last time i watched this, i started throwing knives in my living room. my wife didn't like this. so mike and i went outside to throw his buck knife at a tree until the knife broke.

9. hellboy 2

hellboy is awesome. i loved the first movie, and

this sequel went above and beyond. hellboy's story is huge and
limitless. and he loves cats. a demon with a heart of gold.





8. 28 weeks later this is the same deal as hellboy. i loved the first one, and i loved the sequel even more. it looked jam up, and i loved the social commentary. the ending was cool too.





7. fight club ever since the first time is saw this movie, i have made it my life ambition to bottom out. to not care about materialism. to live in an old house that has brown water coming out the sink. and to have abs like tyler durden.









6. indiana jones and the last crusade this is one of the first non animated movies i saw in the theaters as a kid. the part where the nazi drinks the wrong cup scarred me for years. but i love watching indy swing around and punch nazis and fly airplanes. he can do no wrong.(unless he's fighting aliens)





5. terminator 2: judgement day arnold's best movie. cameron's best movie. the terminator is so raw in this that there's really nothing else to say. its just too raw.





4. 300 this was the first movie i saw in imax. and it ruled. it looked amazing. and i love the story of the hero who doesn't win. it makes his cause seem so much bigger when he fights knowing he can't win. as soon as we left the theater after viewing this for the first time, we went to the sporting goods store to buy some push up bars.





3. evil dead 2:dead by dawn i love this movie. everything about it. its my favorite of the series. its not a perfect movie, but that's what makes it so good. its funny, scary, and doesn't make a lot of sense.





2. batman begins batman is my favorite comic book character. christopher nolan took this hero and put him on the screen with perfection. christian bale is batman. this movie presents a great origin story and the characters are so perfectly casted that you can't take your eyes off of the screen from start to finish.





1. the dark knight how anyone who has seen this could say that its not the greatest movie they've ever seen is beyond me. this is not only my favorite movie. it is the greatest movie ever made. the story is gripping, i was praying that it would never end. christopher nolan-best director, heath ledger-best actor, the dark knight-best movie; give them the oscars, they deserve it. this is as good as it gets. there is none better.
