10. A Few Good Men - Best film of the 1990's IMO
9. Noises Off - Great concept, superb direction and coreography, great ensemble cast, absolutely hysterical
8. Daytrippers - One of the precious gems of independent film. The best "slice of life" film I've ever seen, though it still manages to keep a story moving forward
7. Sneakers - Fantastic ensemble piece; intriguing, with many twists
6. Fargo - Tremendous characters and dialogue
5. Adaptation - This is a well-rounded and highly original film
4. Office Space - One of the greatest comedies ever
3. Reservoir Dogs - Great dialogue and unsurpassed cinematic tension
2. Hannah And Her Sisters/Crimes And Misdemeanors - I could have like seven Woody Allen pics on my list; these two are my favorite, but I couldn't pick one over the other
1. Star Wars - Always and forever my #1

Did you know Willow was a major breakthrough in special effects? It was the very first movie to feature the "morphing" effect, where one character morphs into another.


Not to mention its one of the greatest movies of all time.
