The baseball season is over, which means I have more time to do other meaningless things. Part I: Refine my top movies list. So here it is, refined, with no comedies included (they have their own list):
- 30. The Hurt Locker (2009)
- 29. Forrest Gump (1994)
- 28. Goodfellas (1990)
- 27. Children of Men (2006)
- 26. No Country for Old Men (2007)
- 25. Inglorious Basterds (2009)
- 24. There Will Be Blood (2007)
- 23. The Third Man (1949)
- 22. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)
- 21. Back to the Future (1985)
- 20. Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991)

- 8. The Dark Knight (2008)
- 7. Stand By Me (1986)
- 6. Rear Window (1954)
- 5. The Rock (1996)
- 4. The Godfather/The Godfather Part II (1972/1974)
- 3. Gladiator (2000)
- 2. Braveheart (1995)
- 1. The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
Some Notes:
- Shawshank has sat atop my list for about 10 years now
- Inglorious Basterds has serious potential to rise up in the ranks, I've only seen it once so upon future viewings it could overtake KB & PF as my favorite QT movie
- Kill Bill will probably overtake Pulp Fiction, just not right now, sometime in the near future
- Pulp Fiction dropped from #3 to #11 - I just like the movies currently ahead of it more
- Wall-E and Up are too good to separate, but right now I have Wall-E ahead of Up but that could change
- I was surprised to find The Dark Knight crack the top 10, but then I realized it had to, I don't expect a new movie to crack the top 10 for a long time to come
- I consider The Godfather and The Godfather Part II as one movie even though they are not, my list my rules
- Movies just missing the cut:
- Jurassic Park
- Raging Bull
- Donnie Darko
- Reservoir Dogs
- Slumdog Millionaire
