- DirectorRobert ZemeckisStarsMichael J. FoxChristopher LloydLea ThompsonMarty McFly, a 17-year-old high school student, is accidentally sent 30 years into the past in a time-traveling DeLorean invented by his close friend, the maverick scientist Doc Brown.I could make a top 30 without this movie because this movie was so creative showing that people can make time travel simple and fun. Also this shows that if you change one thing in the past you can change the whole future. Also Marty McFly is such a cool character and when he is playing the guitar it is one of the funniest and the revolutionary moments in movie history because his hand is disappearing. So like I said this is a great movie you need to watch it
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleHeath LedgerAaron EckhartWhen the menace known as the Joker wreaks havoc and chaos on the people of Gotham, Batman must accept one of the greatest psychological and physical tests of his ability to fight injustice.Now Batman is the only singular superhero that has had a movie this awesome I mean when you look at all the best Superhero movies you think of Ironman, X-men and Batman enough said. Also this movie shows that the actions of one mad man can change a whole city, the that same mad man has the ability to turn the white knight into the newest villain. But also with a stellar cast including Christian Bale back as Batman, Heath Ledger (R.I.P) as probably the best Joker you will ever see he has the perfect mix of crazy and calculated and he is a uncontrollable murdering psychopath for 1 reason ... because he can. Also probably one of my favourite quotes in all of movies "Why so serious" is awesome. Loved this movie good luck Affleck and Leto but can't beat the kings. So with a great, even better acting a captivating story and one of the best villain that has no point to what he is doing he just wants to watch the world burn.
- DirectorFrank DarabontStarsTim RobbinsMorgan FreemanBob GuntonOver the course of several years, two convicts form a friendship, seeking consolation and, eventually, redemption through basic compassion.I now understand why this movie is at the top of the IMDB's top 250, this movie is one of the best movies I have seen with great performances from Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins. Also with the great story about men who improve their lives in prison of all of places. This movie is one of the most interesting films I have seen and their is barely a gun fired and when you have some of the most heartbreaking moments in film, yeah this is a great film.
- DirectorJohn CarneyStarsFerdia Walsh-PeeloAidan GillenMaria Doyle KennedyA young lad notices a beautiful girl who begins to occupy his thoughts. While struggling with poverty, personal relationships and life's woes, he starts a band, hoping to catch her attention.
- DirectorTony KayeStarsEdward NortonEdward FurlongBeverly D'AngeloLiving a life marked by violence, neo-Nazi Derek finally goes to prison after killing two black youths. Upon his release, Derek vows to change; he hopes to prevent his brother, Danny, who idolizes Derek, from following in his footsteps.
- DirectorIrvin KershnerStarsMark HamillHarrison FordCarrie FisherAfter the Rebel Alliance are overpowered by the Empire, Luke Skywalker begins his Jedi training with Yoda, while his friends are pursued across the galaxy by Darth Vader and bounty hunter Boba Fett.I can't have a top 15 list without a Star Wars movie and this was my favourite because Han Solo was just so awesome in this movie especially when he was supposed to say "I love you back" he says "I know". Also Darth Vader was amazing because he is one of the greatest movie villains because he nearly froze, killed and he did emotionally scare his own son and he did also cut off his hand so hey dads make mistakes.
- DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsJohn TravoltaUma ThurmanSamuel L. JacksonThe lives of two mob hitmen, a boxer, a gangster and his wife, and a pair of diner bandits intertwine in four tales of violence and redemption.Another Quentin Tarantino movie and that is because he make great movies with great characters and great stories. Quentin Tarantino is a master when it comes to dialogue because most of this movie was people talking and I didn't care because this dialogue was so good time flew by. Also some of the best moments in film history like when Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta have to deal with the dead guy in the back of their car, that is from here on out one of the best scenes in films period. Also with a huge cast Tarantino was able to give everyone enough screen time to go around and make you care about these characters.
- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsElijah WoodViggo MortensenIan McKellenGandalf and Aragorn lead the World of Men against Sauron's army to draw his gaze from Frodo and Sam as they approach Mount Doom with the One Ring.This was my favourite movie of epic Lord of the Rings trilogy. Their are heaps of reasons why this movie is good but to put it simply Aragorn and Sam enough said,but no not enough said because these movies show how awesome these characters are because when you hear Aragorn's speech at the end of the movie you would charge at the Black Gate and Sam is just awesome through out the whole movie especially when he is in Mordor and he slaughter all of those orcs.
- DirectorJames MangoldStarsHugh JackmanPatrick StewartDafne KeenIn a future where mutants are nearly extinct, an elderly and weary Logan leads a quiet life. But when Laura, a mutant child pursued by scientists, comes to him for help, he must get her to safety.
- DirectorRoger AllersRob MinkoffStarsMatthew BroderickJeremy IronsJames Earl JonesLion prince Simba and his father are targeted by his bitter uncle, who wants to ascend the throne himself.Now this movie was my whole childhood their is heaps of reasons why this is awesome like Timon and Pumba made this movie better and Simba was a main character that people could actually relate to and I can't think of another animated movie that was better then this movie. I may not be a huge fan of musicals but this is my one exception, suck it Frozen.
- DirectorFernando MeirellesKátia LundStarsAlexandre RodriguesLeandro FirminoMatheus NachtergaeleIn the slums of Rio, two kids' paths diverge as one struggles to become a photographer and the other a kingpin.
- DirectorMartin ScorseseStarsRobert De NiroRay LiottaJoe PesciThe story of Henry Hill and his life in the mafia, covering his relationship with his wife Karen and his mob partners Jimmy Conway and Tommy DeVito.
- DirectorJames CameronStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerLinda HamiltonEdward FurlongA cyborg, identical to the one who failed to kill Sarah Connor, must now protect her ten year old son John from an even more advanced and powerful cyborg.Now I know people wouldn't usually say this about a terminator movie but this movie brought a tear to my eye and also the fight scenes between the terminators were so epic. My favourite character in the movie was one of my favourite villains of all time the T-1000 because that bastard just wouldn't die no matter what they did. Also when you have a kid actor that you didn't want to kick the *beep* out of (looking at you Anakin from Phantom Menace) that is a good sign.
- DirectorJoss WhedonStarsNathan FillionGina TorresChiwetel EjioforThe crew of the ship Serenity try to evade an assassin sent to recapture telepath River.Firefly is one of my favourite TV shows of all time the characters, story and the witty dialogue were steller but it was cancelled to soon and we never found out what happened to all of those characters but Joss got 2 hour to show what happened and he did the best he could do. Personally my favourite characters are Wash, Malcolm Reynold's and Kaylee and in this movie they all had their great moments and the story was amazing because we finally got to see Reavers and that was awesome but the worst part of that movie is when SPOILER ALERT Wash is killed off stupidly and he was a badass character with one of the best lines " I am a leaf on the wind - watch how I soar."
- DirectorTim MillerStarsRyan ReynoldsMorena BaccarinT.J. MillerA wisecracking mercenary gets experimented on and becomes immortal yet hideously scarred, and sets out to track down the man who ruined his looks.
- DirectorJames CameronStarsSigourney WeaverMichael BiehnCarrie HennDecades after surviving the Nostromo incident, Ellen Ripley is sent out to re-establish contact with a terraforming colony but finds herself battling the Alien Queen and her offspring.This was my favourite Sci-Fi movies ever because what the first one did great this one did amazingly and also such an awesome story and epic battle scenes I mean when you watched the first movie their was not much happening for a while and this movie just jumped you straight into the action and I loved it. This movie had some scene that had scared the living @#$% out of me I mean when Newt is in the water and the alien appears behind her I nearly feel out of my seat.
- DirectorMartin ScorseseStarsLeonardo DiCaprioJonah HillMargot RobbieBased on the true story of Jordan Belfort, from his rise to a wealthy stock-broker living the high life to his fall involving crime, corruption and the federal government.
- DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsHarvey KeitelTim RothMichael MadsenWhen a simple jewelry heist goes horribly wrong, the surviving criminals begin to suspect that one of them is a police informant.Tarantino's first feature film and his second appearance on this list, Reservoir Dog's is a story about a bank heist that went horribly wrong and this is the aftermath of that heist where we get to see the realisation that one of the members is a mole and the questioning of all of the characters about who did what was awesome. Also the dialogue just like all of his movies later in life was amazing and my personal favourite character although he is a bit of a psychopath is Mr Blonde just so charismatic and collected in thsi situation.
- DirectorGeorge LucasStarsMark HamillHarrison FordCarrie FisherLuke Skywalker joins forces with a Jedi Knight, a cocky pilot, a Wookiee and two droids to save the galaxy from the Empire's world-destroying battle station, while also attempting to rescue Princess Leia from the mysterious Darth Vader.The first Star Wars movie ever made and the first one on this list, this movie is one of the best movies ever made visually, story wise and character wise because it was the first time that audience's were introduced to characters like the badass Darth Vader, the smuggler Han Solo and the real hero R2-D2 this movie was before it's time it had stunning visual effects and practical effects and the best part of the movie everything that is happening inside the Death Star (also Han shot first).
- DirectorEthan CoenJoel CoenStarsTommy Lee JonesJavier BardemJosh BrolinViolence and mayhem ensue after a hunter stumbles upon the aftermath of a drug deal gone wrong and over two million dollars in cash near the Rio Grande.
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsGuy PearceCarrie-Anne MossJoe PantolianoA man with short-term memory loss attempts to track down his wife's murderer.This was the film that made Nolan a household name

- DirectorRidley ScottStarsSigourney WeaverTom SkerrittJohn HurtThe crew of a commercial spacecraft encounters a deadly lifeform after investigating a mysterious transmission of unknown origin.I love both of the Alien movies and personally I think Aliens is better but Alien is a great movie because where Aliens had heaps of violence and gun shots, this movie had horror and suspense. Also this movie shows how unkillable this creature is because in this movie it takes one Alien to kill the whole crew of the Nostromo. This movie has one of my favourite characters in movie history because Ripley is one of the most badass characters ever.
- DirectorRob ReinerStarsWil WheatonRiver PhoenixCorey FeldmanA writer recounts a childhood journey with his friends to find the body of a missing boy.The true coming of age story. Stand by me is the story of four young boys on the journey to find a dead body. And as the story unfolds they learn more about themselves and connect on a much deeper level than just friendship. This film is incredible, the acting is tremendous especially from child actors, the story is moving and the end scene almost had me in tears. Every teenager (especially guys) can relate to at least one of these characters.
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleHugh JackmanScarlett JohanssonAfter a tragic accident, two stage magicians in 1890s London engage in a battle to create the ultimate illusion while sacrificing everything they have to outwit each other.Christopher Nolan is one of my favourite directors and this is such a unique film. This takes magicians and old time magic shows and gives it a unique twist. Also the dynamic between the cast which includes Jackman, Bale, Johansson and Bowie. Also this was a sort of straight forward movie but the last twenty minutes elevate this film to another level.
