the 13 Best Movies I've Seen

1. Braveheart / Mel Gibson's tour deforce. OK, it's an inaccurate portrayal of the real history surrounding the fight for Scottish Independence in the 13th Century (no kilts, the Battle of Stirling Bridge actually occurring on a bridge, etc), but no movie has ever moved me like this one. The spirit is there and gets my blood pumping. Decent acting, coupled with a tremendous soundtrack and breathtaking cinematography...Braveheart's William Wallace is the pentacle of the heroic ideal.
2. Raiders of the Lost Ark
3. Highlander
4. Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
5. The 13th Warrior
6. Star Wars
7. Angel Heart
8. The Whole Wide World
9. The Usual Suspects
