I like to watch a good movie when time permits whether in the theater or on DVD or Cable even. Here is my list of the best movies I have seen. I'm sure I've missed some good ones so let me know any blatently missed great flicks as I'd like to check them out when I get a chance.
This list is not in exact order of best movies etc. I try to rate them from 1-10 with a deviation of +/- 1. So to me a 9 could be a 10 or even an 8 as a range. But a 10 would only be a 9 or a 10 to me. So movies that are 7 or higher I definitely recommend to people but movies that are lower I recommend only to fans of the actor or director etc.
