My Best Top 20 movies

I usually check IMDB site on a regular basis to get movie updates and also to kill boredom at office. So when I checked it last week, all I saw was 20th year celebration of the site and each of the editors have posted their top best 20 movies list. So I just thought why shouldn't I list out my best top 20 movies. So fellas, here is my list....
I have not numbered the list since I didn't get much time to think about it. So no arguments on the order in which I have listed.

Saving Private Ryan
The best war movie I have ever watched. The cast was perfect and a stunning performance by Tom Hanks. Speilberg showed the world the real war scenes.

Schindler’s List
I actually got this movie copied it to my external hard disk. But somehow the last 40 mins of the movie got stuck and I just couldn’t let it go. I ran to the CD store and got the DVD and I was even ready to give in my mobile as deposit since I was new to that CD guy. Watched the complete movie and I just couldn’t stop tears running through my face when Schindler says looking at his car “ I could have saved 4 more” speechless!!!!!!!!.

The Godfather
What do I have to say about it???? A total classic movie….

The Prestige
Magic, Rivalry, Obsession, Twists at it’s best. Just loved the flow of the movie, I had to watch it twice really to get a grasp on the fast paced editing.

The Dark Knight
Joker, Joker, Joker …. such a stunning performance by Heath Ledger. You could watch it n times just for his performance.

Blood Diamond
Loved it for Leo’s acting and his accent in the movie. He showed it to the world how versatile he is in acting and choosing the roles.

The Departed
Stunning performances by Matt Damon and Leo. Totally unpredictable scenes, I still remember the reaction I got when Leo gets shot in the lift. I literally shouted “shit!!!!!!!!! Wot jus happened” in the movie hall. My friend had to calm me down after that scene.

The Usual Suspects
This was one movie which I wanted to see for a very long time. I totally agree with the other reviewers, that it is one of the best twisted endings that I have ever seen.

Juno
Ellen Page rocks!!!!!!!!!!!! Totally fell in love with her after watching this movie. How could you ever forget the casual dialogues, fittingly Diablo Cody won the Oscar too.

Saw
This is one of the most underrated movies that I have ever seen. This along with usual suspects tops the list of best endings for me. I literally stopped talking after seeing the guy getting up at the end of the movie.

Predator
You might be wondering WTF!!!! But I really got shit scared after watching this movie when I was a kid. I had the worst nightmares after this and it affected me for a very long time. So this is a definite YES in my list.

Inglorious Bastards
History has gone for a toss , forgot about history and you just love the typical Tarantino movie. Christoph Waltz rocks in the movie, also really liked the French girl.

Reservoir Dogs
6 characters, 1 garage, 2 hours, rocking movie – only Tarantino could have pulled off such a classic movie.

The Hangover
We had a blast watching this movie. I have never laughed so much watching a movie, just loved the Tyson and the tiger part.

The Matrix
One movie I can watch over and over without getting bored. Technology at its best, Neo and Morpheus lives in the movie history for ever.

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
No words to explain the grandeur showed in this movie. Really liked the first part better than the rest.

Ice Age
Best animation movie for me. Sid rocks and who could ever forget Scrat and the nut J. Me and friends watched it every day during our final year project days in college. We start the day planning about reading and coding, but invariably we end up watching this movie and sleeping :) :) (everyday!!!!).

Terminator 2
Arnold as terminator, do I have to say anything more. Stunning graphic scenes, hardcore action and Hollywood at it's best.

WALL-E
Another masterpiece from Pixar studios. I just can't imagine how they could ever think of such a beautiful robotic love story. I heard from one of my old colleague that Eva was designed by the same guy who designed the first iPod.

No country for Old Men
Javier Bardem lived as a pschycopath in this movie. I don't think any other movie has shown killing people with a gas cylinder.

Hope you agree with few of the movies in the list.

City and Gunners march on....

Man City Vs Blackpool - This is definitely the match of the week. Stunning goals from ever so working hard Tevez and a classic from Silva wrapped up the match for City. Not so before the threatening Blackpool, who eventually scored 2 goals. Though I don't like Man City (United I hate even more) they really deserved the win, Tevez as always ran his heart out and it really paid off. I really liked Silva's goal, this is a striker's dream goal with two fantastic fakes and a beautiful curler.City's defense also should get credit for their awesome tackles and blocking all the through balls. City's big spending finally getting paid off, they deservedly placed in 2nd place just 2 points behind Chelsea.Though they are above Gunners, I believe Arsenal will come strong in the coming weeks.

Finally Arsenal getting all the 3 points much for the happiness of all the fans.Though I couldn't watch the match because of the stupid cable operators who just gives one channel on the weekend. I ended up watching ManU vs WBA in ESPN rather than Arsenal's match in Star Sports.Anyways it has been a nice weekend for all Arsenal fans since they have gained points on both ManU and Chelsea.Wish they continue the winning form and I believe they will get stronger with the return of Fabregas.

Oh I forgot to mention the pathetic situation in which Liverpool is in. It's really sad to see them in the relegation zone, with the likes of Torres and Gerrard being in the team. I really hope they can improve on their current form and get settled soon on and off the field.
