Continuing the Top 50 favorites.

35. About a Boy (2002) || IMDb
Last year: 35, no movement

I have a soft spot for movies done by Paul Weitz, including the first American Pie, In Good Company, and About a Boy (we shall not include the god-awful American Dreamz). About a Boy shows Hugh Grant how he is--a complete asshole--and it's beaufitul. Plus, Rachel Weisz is hot, so...

34. Chocolat (2000) || IMDb
Last year: 36, up 2

The struggle of a gorgeous Juliette Binoche to support her new chocolate shoppe in a town where Lent and religion forbid it. Also, there's a completely random Johnny Depp role, which is always nice.

33. Reservoir Dogs (1992) || IMDb
Last year: 29, down 4

I used to be moderately obsessed with this movie. Definitely not as good as Pulp Fiction, but still great in its own right. This movie is more on the list because of nostalgia.

32. The Usual Suspects (1995) || IMDb
Last year: 31, down 1

Kevin Spacey is great when he's not in POS movies like Pay It Forward. The writing is fantastic, falling out of the terrible cliches that can mess up any crime movie. Also, even though there's the 'shock' ending, the best part is that even without it, the movie is still great. That's what makes it so good.

31. Moulin Rouge! (2001) || IMDb
Last year: 28, down 3

Nicole Kidman was robbed by Halle Berry come Oscar time. Say what you will, but I think this movie was much better than A Beautiful Mind (maybe not Gosford Park). I do have sort of a 'thing' for musicals, though. . . . The costumes and songs are amazing, but I guess that wasn't enough.
