Must See Movies

This is a list of lists. These are all movies that we feel someone must see! They may not be the best movies necessarily, but they are a must! Patrick and I work together to rank the movies. We wait 30 days to rank the movies because we want them to settle in. Opinions change over time and usually towards a more stable one.

Lists in progress:
  • 3-D
    • There are not enough good 3-D movies out yet and we don't feel right about adding Piranha 3-D to any list.
  • Horror & Suspense
    • We just flat out don't like horror.  So instead we are working on a suspense movie list because we feel that suspense adds more to a movie than a bucket of blood.
  • Family
    • This section has been added since we first started working on the list because there are too many movies out there that are great for families but wouldn't make it on an adult top 10 list.
