se7en and raiders of the lost ark were my first 2 out.

Love raiders, perfect in every way. and yea se7en is awesome but it could have been any fincher movie in that spot really, Social Network and Fight Club are just as good not to mention The Game and Zodiac

For a few years I had the bad habit of not being able to fall asleep unless a movie was playing those movies were a rotation of:

Goodfellas, Casino, Ghostbusters, Knocked up (best apatow movie and it's not even close), Gangs of New York, x-men 2 (Best x-men movie). and shrek 2 (your guess is as good as mine).

4* Indie movie you've never heard if - Primer. Netflix it.

4* you have heard of - Sideways

And.... Little Miss Sunshine


Kudos to who said Silence Of The Lambs, the #1 thriller of all time. Suck it, Hitchcock
