There is nothing I romanticize more- other than music- than films. The following is a make shift list of my top picks for films, not in any particular order1) Rebel Without a Cause- Live fast, die young with James Dean. Classic.
2) Dear Wendy- Indie film about Dandies, guns and a fabulous Zombies soundtrack
3) The Doors- Bio pic about Jim Morrison.
4) The Bride of Frankenstein- One of my favorite horror/sci-fi films.
5) Almost Famous- The coming of age story of
a rock journalist. Based loosely on the life of Cameron Crowe.
6)East of Eden- Another James Dean classic. Epic Story.
7) Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas- the Hunter S. Thompson epic come to life courtesy of Johnny Depp.
8) Willy Wonka and the Choclate Factory- The childhood classic with a sinister Gene Wilder.
9) The Wristcutters: A Love Story- A love/suicide story that ends the opposite of Romeo and Juliet.
10) The Beach- The one movie where Leonardo DiCaprio is not annoying. It's a savage film about true human nature.
11)Chitty Chitty Bang Bang- Disney Classic next to Marry Poppins. It turned me on to Dick Van Dyke.
12) Blow- Johnny Depp as legendary drug dealer George Jung.
13) Four Brothers- Mark Wahlberg is bad ass and makes us forget Marky Mark while protecting his brothers.
14)Lords of Dogtown- Semi historical film of the upstart of skateboarding.

18)Kill Bill Vol 1 and 2- Quintin Tarantino duo films with Uma Thurman as an assasin and Lucy Lu kicking butt.
19)Singing in the Rain- Best musical of all time.
20)The Graduate- Dustin Hoffman's first film. Mrs. Robinson is so naughty.
21)I Love You Man- One of the most genuine comedies, filled with bromance.
22)Across the Universe- The Beatles soundtrack re-imagined, visually stunning, it's the ultimate trip.
23)Fight Club- Brad Pitt looking buff, Edward Norton taking your mind on a trip.
24)Metropolis- One of the first science fiction films ever made. Fritz Lang imagines female robots taking over society.
