Most of these came out within the first 10 years of my adulthood: 1995-2005. I believe that no matter what, they'll stand the test of time.

Done similarly as Crash, the layout of this movie keeps you intrigued from one scene to the next. Very obscure due to it's budget, but a must-see none-the-less. I was on the edge of my seat wondering where it all was going to end up. Wonderful!

This was a mind altering and life changing movie for me. With all the battles this one individual endures, but still pulls off what he does in the end... you'd never believe this was all based on a true story. Truly inspirational!

American History X (1998,  R)
American History X 5.0 Stars
As I walked out of the theater through the dorrs gaurded with uniformed police officers, all you could hear were sniffles and quiet emotion. The silence broke as a teenager so perfectly said, "Man... I came here for a little entertainment tonight, not a sober dose of reality." He hit the nail on the head with that statement.

A based on a true story that most everyone missed because most of us were barely in junior high. One of Robin Williams first dramatic rolls, and Robert DeNiro blows your mind. Knowing this all happened all those years ago haunts you, yet also leaves a bitter sweet taste in your mouth.

A more dramatic and psychological side of the Batman movies... and my favorite to date. This explores how he became to be the Caped Crusader, and Christian Bale nailed it!!!!

The Acting was a bit weak on Keanu's part... and his accent was annoying as all hell, but Al Pacino makes your hair stand on end in that typical Pacino rant at the end of every movie that makes it ALL worth it!!!

This was a movie missed by most fellow Yankees fans because they think it was a movie about the Red Sox. People don't realize that the writer's originally wrote it about the Cincinnatti Reds. It was already in production when The Red Sox HAPPENED to get LUCKY that year. And seeing how it was such a cinderella story and there was such a thicker history with the Sox (and a bigger market for the movie, $$$), the writer's decided to change the team to the Red Sucks, er, I mean Soxs at the last moment. So, Yanks fans... get over yourself and enjoy this movie! It really was hilarious!!!

Though I haven't yet seen the other popular and more mosern version of Hamlet with Ethan Hawk, I remember being blown away, while watching this in senior year English, by Mel Gibson's performance. I just loved it.

I loved this becasuse the ending had to be interpretted by yourself after leaving the theater. Though only one ending was given, it left so much up to the imagination, and gave you no choice but to think. I love movies that make you think!
