Alright kids, here it is. My 50 favorite movies of all time. See the post below for a few details. Without further ado, here we go!

50 - Scream
Scream (1996) | IMDb

Wes Craven's mock horror film that is, in some ways, a parody of itself. With that in mind, there are also plenty of classic 'slasher' moments and a few great scenes of suspense. The sequels were terrible, but the original was very solid and whenever it's on HBO I can't change the channel.

49 - Shakespeare in Love
Shakespeare in Love (1998) | IMDb

The Best Picture winner for the 1999 Oscars isn't the only reason for my love of this movie. It mainly has to do with Geoffrey Rush's great comedic performance and some very witty one-liners that make even Ben Affleck seem funny.

48 - Almost Famous
Almost Famous (2000) | IMDb

Cameron Crowe sure can write, even if his directing is only decent. This story of Patrick Fugit's High School character joining the band Stillwater on the road for an article in Rolling Stone Magazine is a great blend of comedy, drama, and music. Plus it has Jason Lee, so...

47 - Dawn of the Dead (2004)
Dawn of the Dead (2004) | IMDb

This seemingly low budget remake of George A. Romero's classic zombie movie, in my opinion, turned out much better than one could've hoped. Nothing is held back, with kids eating adult's necks, spikes through heads, babies shot in the face, tons of blood and carnage, and even some great humor. If only all horror movies were this good.

46 - My Cousin Vinny
My Cousin Vinny (1992) | IMDb

Joe Pesci plays the New York (I think) unknowledgeable lawyer who is sent to Alabama to help defend his cousin and his cousin's friend, who were wrongly accused of murder. Oh, but this is a comedy. A very funny one, where Joe Pesci actually learns stuff, despite having no clue how people operate down in the South.
