The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
Stephen Klancher: SEEN 
I'm not sure it forever deserves the top spot on IMDB, but definitely a good movie. I remember watching it on TV some night in Jr High when I was supposed to be working some project... let's see, do a diorama of a scene from 1984 or watch Shawshank? Hmm...

Fight Club (1999)
Stephen Klancher: SEEN
There's so much that is cool about this movie. But mostly the impact of the reveal the first time you watch it. The sort of Sixth-Sense change where you can then rewatch it as an entirely different experience.

Back to the Future (1985)
Stephen Klancher: SEEN
I love the Back to the Future trilogy. Yes even the third one. I've always especially loved the music. Watching Predator at some point I was wondering why it was reminding me of Back to the Future... and it turns out the same guy did the music...

I liked the Wizard of Oz and have often been excited to see newer takes on it. At some point my mom took me to see Wicked and I loved it. Though it turned out disappointing, I remember being excited over the SciFi variant Tin Man. Also, Zardoz. haha.

The Matrix (1999)
Stephen Klancher: SEEN
My parents (divorced) got in an argument over this movie. My dad wanted to take me to see it, but my mom, more strict at the time, didn't want it to happen. At some point she finally gave in, but then we had to go see it in the cheaper, crappier theater. It was still amazing, of course. And as Bob can attest, at any given time my dad's house on Mountain Oak probably had the DVD of this or Fifth Element playing. It's too bad they never made any sequels to this. <i>None. Never.</i>

Groundhog Day (1993) Releases on 1969-12-31

The joke is obvious but it's also the truth: I watched this movie over and over and over. This was one of a handful of movies we rewatched frequently growing up at my dad's house. I love Bill Murray and I love this movie.

Cool Hand Luke (1967)
Stephen Klancher: June 21, 2009
Aptly named... he's a cool character. The Lucy and 50 eggs scenes were fun. I liked the simple question he asked of god near the end: "You made me like I am; just where do I fit?"

The Princess Bride (1987)
Stephen Klancher: SEEN
We rented this movie at my dad's house when I was very young. So young in fact that I had no idea what the movie was called. I just had a vague memory of a really cool movie about a man in black with the storytelling grandfather as a frame for the adventure. In high school somehow this movie came up and I was excited to learn not only the title of the movie lost in my memories, but also that many other people liked it too. "As you wish" and "My name is Inigo Montoya" always make me smile.

I am very much a Star Wars fan. I've read about 40 books, played a handful of games, and seen most of what there is to see. There were some summers growing up where I was mostly watching the Star Wars trilogy and playing Mario 3.
2011-02-26 - Watched Star Wars Begins, the excellent fan-made documentary.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) Releases on 2001-12-19
Stephen Klancher: SEEN
I read half-way through the books, quit for a while, then finished right before this came out. I actually like the movies better. I enjoy all three movies, but one notable thing about this one was much fun it was that everyone around me was really into it at the time. The fact that the girls I was friends with and girlfriend at the time were drooling over the actors just added another reason for everyone to be enthusiastic and want to keep rewatching it. So yeah, fun times. :-)

This was the one I watched least when I was younger. The slightly less familiarity has made it more attractive for rewatching in later years. Also it's Star Wars. <3

Blade Runner (1982)
Stephen Klancher: SEEN
I watched this and only thought it was ok. I found out later that the Director's Cut which I watched was lacking the narration of the original. I often really enjoy narration in movies and might have enjoyed this more if I had a clearer understanding of what was going on in some parts. Maybe someday I'll have to rewatch the original version.

I was surprised to realize I had not actually seen this. It seemed like I must have, so I had already marked it as seen. Really really shows its age at this point, but still a decent movie. The second is much better though. Part of the problem is I already know everything about this from 2 sequels and part of a TV show. Glad I made sure I had seen this before T4 comes out.

I borrowed and watched this summer of 2002. Even then I had a vague idea that I wanted to see some of the most well known movies, with the IMDB top 250 as my idea for a good start.
I really enjoyed it! And so many elements or lines in it that could be called cliche now were actually their origin. This is the movie that solidified my interest in watching well rated "old movies." Compare to Citizen Kane.

The middle of the trilogy. And like Empire Strikes back, I watched the middle least while growing up. With this one though it was because it was the one of the three that (at least initially) we didn't own. I think later we taped it off of TV or something. So it had that appeal of "rarity" as the one I didn't get to see as often.

Cat-bus is awesome. Most of what I like in this movie is better done in Spirited Away. But still this was a relaxing movie with good animation and occasionally good music too.

Stephen Klancher: November 5, 2003
I watched this in the first quarter of college for an Anthropology class titled Debating Multiculturalism. Though it's not the kind of thing I'd want to watch all the time, this movie did a great job of conveying the environment of racial tension. For many of the characters you could see their blatant flaws, but also their more human qualities that made them believable characters and made the events in the movie all the more tragic.

I don't remember much about this movie directly. The main thing I remember is a comment from a friend while we all watched it together the summer before college. My girlfriend at the time was either disinterested or bothered by the violence, whereas I thought it was a cool movie. By my friend's observation, this was the first time in a long time that I insisted on an opinion contrary to hers. I don't remember being that bad, but the observation was memorable, and this movie reminds me of it.

Hmm, I'm not 100% I've seen the beginning of this movie. See this was the second rated R movie I ever saw, with the first being the movie Speed. My mom was on her honeymoon and I was with cousins and other family at a hotel whereever we were on the coast. So we got away with renting rated R movies. I watched Speed in one room and went to the next room and joined them in watching Braveheart. I mostly just remember the iconic, "You can take our lives, but you can never take our freedom!" Also I saw a statue of William Wallace in front of a castle years later. I should rewatch it someday just because now I know and love Patrick McGoohan.

Obviously the only thing to do was invite her over for dinner and a western right?

Someday when I am tasked with forging a spell of destruction, I will not make it a single two syllable word. Seems too easy to trigger by accident.
I liked other Miyazaki films better, but Mark Hamill voicing a bad guy is always kinda fun.

Epic battle scenes! I think this may be my favorite of the Kurosawa movies I've seen. The early battle shown only with music was an incredible scene. And the moments betrayal and madness reflected on Lord Hidetora's face were enthralling.
