I am too tired to think of ten. Most overrated movie this year...
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. On edit I just read the others and I realized I had forgotten Shawshank and the Princess Bride. I love those too. Chinatown is great.

[punpirate]

14. Haven't seen "Repo Man" in a while...

... but it's another favorite. When it first came out, and I saw Emilio Estevez walking along singing one of the Mickey Mouse Club songs, I had no idea who he was... until he started kicking stuff and yelling, and thought, that has got to be Martin Sheen's kid.

So many clever bits in it for a low-budget movie.

"Blanks get the job done, too." :)

That is one of THE funniest movies ever made.

"Lets go get a drink kid..."
