- DirectorHoward HawksStarsKatharine HepburnCary GrantCharles RugglesWhile trying to secure a $1 million donation for his museum, a befuddled paleontologist is pursued by a flighty and often irritating heiress and her pet leopard, Baby.The funniest movie ever made and my all-time No. 5. (Col Needham, IMDb Founder and CEO)
Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant in a brilliant screwball comedy. Way ahead of its time. (Shawn Van Ness) - DirectorStanley KramerStarsSpencer TracySidney PoitierKatharine HepburnA couple's attitudes are challenged when their daughter introduces them to her African-American fiancé.A socially important movie capturing the time. Also, Spencer Tracy’s final film. (Col Needham)
- DirectorRobert WiseStarsJulie AndrewsChristopher PlummerEleanor ParkerA young novice is sent by her convent in 1930s Austria to become a governess to the seven children of a widowed naval officer.The sheer magic of this film (and 'Mary Poppins') gives me a childlike happiness no matter how many times I watch them! (Unnati Sethi)
- DirectorAng LeeStarsChow Yun-FatMichelle YeohZiyi ZhangA young Chinese warrior steals a sword from a famed swordsman and then escapes into a world of romantic adventure with a mysterious man in the frontier of the nation.A delicate melding of Hong Kong chop-socky sensibilities with American art-house cinema, 'Crouching' is near-perfect in its balance. The movie is artful without being arty, epic without being ponderous, and visceral without being heartless. Also brilliant: How the movie is really about the female characters — but guys don't notice it. (Harry Lin)
- DirectorWes CravenStarsNeve CampbellCourteney CoxDavid ArquetteA year after the murder of her mother, a teenage girl is terrorized by a masked killer who targets her and her friends by using scary movies as part of a deadly game.It's hard to appreciate now after all the copycats it inspired, but this movie was a revelation when it debuted in the mid 1990s. Teenagers in horror films weren't supposed to talk like this and play so easily with our expectations, especially after acknowledging them. (Bret Federigan)
- DirectorFederico FelliniStarsMarcello MastroianniAnita EkbergAnouk AiméeA series of stories following a week in the life of a philandering tabloid journalist living in Rome.One of my favorites by Federico Fellini, who is unfortunately underrepresented in our top-rated films, with the exception of '8 ½.' (Eric Greene)
- DirectorAmy HeckerlingStarsAlicia SilverstoneStacey DashBrittany MurphyShallow, rich and socially successful Cher is at the top of her Beverly Hills high school's pecking scale. Seeing herself as a matchmaker, Cher first coaxes two teachers into dating each other.I see this movie about once a year and can quote the majority of it. As if! Why didn't this get nominated for an Oscar? (Alex Buraczynski)
- DirectorJames L. BrooksStarsWilliam HurtAlbert BrooksHolly HunterTake two rival television reporters: one handsome, one talented, both male. Add one producer, female. Mix well, and watch the sparks fly.The legendary writer/director James L. Brooks and Albert Brooks in one film, a whip-smart heroine (played by Holly Hunter), and a multi-layered story that is funny, insightful, and relevant even today. (Melissa Roth)
- DirectorFrank CapraStarsCary GrantPriscilla LaneRaymond MasseyA Brooklyn writer of books on the futility of marriage risks his reputation after he decides to tie the knot. Things get even more complicated when he learns on his wedding day that his beloved maiden aunts are habitual murderers.A classic Cary Grant comedy with a macabre sense of humor, great performances, and excellent comic timing. (Eric Greene)
- DirectorTerry GilliamStarsJonathan PryceKim GreistRobert De NiroA bureaucrat in a dystopic society becomes an enemy of the state as he pursues the woman of his dreams.It's ironic that audiences were unhappy with the U.S. studio's happy ending for this movie. But there’s much more to it than its original disturbing finale, which suits its heavier themes of insanity, terrorism, and government overreach. It's also wildly imaginative, funny at times, and has Robert De Niro. (Eric Greene)
- DirectorMike NicholsStarsDustin HoffmanAnne BancroftKatharine RossA disillusioned college graduate finds himself torn between his older lover and her daughter.This film was definitely in the Top 250 at some point and in the Top 100 back in the '90s. (Brent Alverti)
- DirectorPeter WeirStarsRobin WilliamsRobert Sean LeonardEthan HawkeMaverick teacher John Keating returns in 1959 to the prestigious New England boys' boarding school where he was once a star student, using poetry to embolden his pupils to new heights of self-expression.We don’t read and write poetry because it's cute. We don't watch 'Dead Poets Society' because it's cute; we watch it because of Robin Williams. (Alex Buraczynski)
(Matt Kumin) - DirectorAlan J. PakulaStarsDustin HoffmanRobert RedfordJack Warden"The Washington Post" reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein uncover the details of the Watergate scandal that leads to President Richard Nixon's resignation.One of the greatest scripts of all time. (Col Needham)
- DirectorIvan ReitmanStarsBill MurrayDan AykroydSigourney WeaverThree parapsychologists forced out of their university funding set up shop as a unique ghost removal service in New York City, attracting frightened yet skeptical customers.So many important life lessons in this classic. When someone asks if you’re a god, always say, “Yes.” (Shawn Van Ness)
Yes it’s true … This film belongs in the Top 250. (Billy Thompson) - DirectorTodd SolondzStarsHeather MatarazzoChristina BrucatoVictoria DavisAn awkward seventh-grader struggles to cope with inattentive parents, snobbish class-mates, a smart older brother, an attractive younger sister and her own insecurities in suburban New Jersey.All walks of life can relate to Dawn Wiener! (Chako Suzuki)
- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsHenry ThomasDrew BarrymorePeter CoyoteA troubled child summons the courage to help a friendly alien escape from Earth and return to his home planet.Spielberg’s classic movie about a boy who befriends an alien is both a great science fiction movie and a great family drama. The film’s emotional power comes as much from the depiction of kids grappling with their parents’ divorce as from E.T.’s journey home. (Sara Bibel) (+1 Brent Alverti)
- DirectorSydney PollackStarsRobert RedfordFaye DunawayCliff RobertsonA bookish CIA researcher in Manhattan finds all his co-workers dead, and must outwit those responsible until he figures out who he can really trust.Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway nailing the Cold War spy thriller genre, long before Jack Ryan or Jason Bourne. Follow this movie with 'Spy Game' (2001), which could easily have been presented as a sequel, set some 25 years later. (Shawn Van Ness)
- DirectorWes AndersonStarsGeorge ClooneyMeryl StreepBill MurrayAn urbane fox cannot resist returning to his farm raiding ways and then must help his community survive the farmers' retaliation.Stop-motion animation at its finest, with a charming soundtrack. Takes the book from my childhood and brings it to life in a big way. Roald Dahl would be proud. (Alex Buraczynski)
- DirectorEdmund GouldingStarsGreta GarboJohn BarrymoreJoan CrawfordA group of very different individuals staying at a luxurious hotel in Berlin deal with each of their respective dramas.I watched this shortly after the birth of my second son. And so, hormones were high as well as my emotions. (Kris Anderson)
- DirectorDavid YatesStarsDaniel RadcliffeEmma WatsonRupert GrintAs Harry Potter begins his sixth year at Hogwarts, he discovers an old book marked as "the property of the Half-Blood Prince" and begins to learn more about Lord Voldemort's dark past.I've watched all the 'Harry Potter' movies several times, and this is my favorite one. The tone, look, and most importantly the emotional depth of this installment gets me every time. (Harry Lin)
- DirectorJohn McTiernanStarsSean ConneryAlec BaldwinScott GlennIn November 1984, the Soviet Union's best submarine captain violates orders and heads for the U.S. in a new undetectable sub. The American CIA and military must quickly determine: Is he trying to defect or to start a war?My two favorite genres are heist movies and Cold War spy thrillers. This classic combines both. (Shawn Van Ness)
- DirectorJohn DahlStarsMatt DamonEdward NortonGretchen MolA young, reformed gambler must return to playing high stakes poker to help a friend pay off loan sharks, while balancing his relationship with his girlfriend and his commitments to law school.'Good Will Hunting' with cards, poker chips, and John Malkovich.

- DirectorMary HarronStarsChristian BaleJustin TherouxJosh LucasA wealthy New York City investment banking executive, Patrick Bateman, hides his alternate psychopathic ego from his co-workers and friends as he delves deeper into his violent, hedonistic fantasies.While taking on heavy subject matter, this movie is so surprisingly funny. The business card scene is one of the best ever made. (Alex Buraczynski)
- DirectorGeorge CukorStarsNorma ShearerJoan CrawfordRosalind RussellA study of the lives and romantic entanglements of various interconnected women.This comedy about New York socialites features an all-female cast including Joan Crawford. The hilarious dialogue was crafted by Claire Booth Luce, who based the script on her play, and Anita Loos who has a writing credit on a whopping 137 films. (Sara Bibel)
- DirectorRobert StevensonStarsJulie AndrewsDick Van DykeDavid TomlinsonIn turn of the century London, a magical nanny employs music and adventure to help two neglected children become closer to their father.One of two films that should really be mandatory viewing for all childhoods ... the other being 'The Sound of Music.' (Unnati Sethi)
- DirectorAndrew NiccolStarsEthan HawkeUma ThurmanJude LawA genetically inferior man assumes the identity of a superior one in order to pursue his lifelong dream of space travel.I find this movie very inspiring and love the retro-future style. (Tac Anderson)
- DirectorKar-Wai WongStarsBrigitte LinTakeshi KaneshiroTony Leung Chiu-waiTwo melancholic Hong Kong policemen fall in love: one with a mysterious female underworld figure, the other with a beautiful and ethereal waitress at a late-night restaurant he frequents.Lyrical, impressionistic, startling, and resonant.

(Eric Greene)
(Brent Aliverti) - DirectorRobert ZemeckisStarsTom HanksHelen HuntPaul SanchezA FedEx executive undergoes a physical and emotional transformation after crash landing on a deserted island.You don't often have a movie with just one man on screen for almost an entire two hours that still keeps you glued to your seat with your heart in your throat. This movie is pure cinematic storytelling magic. (Unnati Sethi)
- DirectorTerry ZwigoffStarsRobert CrumbAline Kominsky-CrumbCharles CrumbAn intimate portrait of controversial cartoonist Robert Crumb and his traumatized family.When you need to be reminded about the benefits of piggyback rides. (Chako Suzuki)
- DirectorPaul Thomas AndersonStarsMark WahlbergJulianne MooreBurt ReynoldsBack when sex was safe, pleasure was a business and business was booming, an idealistic porn producer aspires to elevate his craft to an art when he discovers a hot young talent.(Kris Anderson)
- DirectorPeter YatesStarsDennis ChristopherDennis QuaidDaniel SternA working-class Indiana teen obsessed with the Italian cycling team vies for the affections of a college girl while searching for life goals with his friends.A terrific alchemy of underdogs, small-town dreams, and coming-of-age friendship. Fiercely low-budget, staunchly quiet much of the time, and beautifully well-acted, Breaking Away is the kind of movie that really needs to get made more often. (Harry Lin)
- DirectorBlake EdwardsStarsAudrey HepburnGeorge PeppardPatricia NealA young New York socialite becomes interested in a young man who has moved into her apartment building, but her past threatens to get in the way.If we can’t have all of Audrey Hepburn’s filmography in the Top 250 (a pity!), we should at least have 'Breakfast at Tiffany's.' (Unnati Sethi)
- DirectorGeorge CukorStarsAudrey HepburnRex HarrisonStanley HollowayIn 1910s London, snobbish phonetics professor Henry Higgins agrees to a wager that he can make crude flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, presentable in high society.This one should be up there with 'Breakfast at Tiffany's.'
