well here I am watching the boriympics at 3:30 AM in the morning so yes, I am up for that!

like you said Capo, these are the 10 movies that I personally think everybody should see. believe me, I'm trying to spread it out as long as I can in terms of genre and directors, because a first draft of my top ten list would be even more repetitive and predictable.

10 - Trainspotting (1996)

A head dive into the lifestyle of heroin addicts in hopeless Scotland in the mid 90's - "It's SHITE being Scottish! We're the lowest of the low. The scum of the fucking Earth! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some hate the English. I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are COLONIZED by wankers." says Ewan McGregor's Mark Renton. If not for anything else, you should see this movie just to know you should stay away from heroin, but you could also enjoy superb acting, amazing soundtrack and a frantic storyline full of bizarre situations that are so common in the life of a junkie, all working as a build up to one of the greatest ending sequences of all time. Enjoy at your own risk!

9 - The Shining (1980)

"Hereee's Jooohnny!" - Stanley Kubrick has made some of the most iconic films of all time, but if there is one of them that everyone should definitely see, I believe is this one. A full of depth horror classic that has been ripped off in the past 25 years without seeing anyone get even close to its impact.

8 - Apocalypse Now (1979)

I felt like I needed to throw in a war movie, and in my opinion this is the best of them, not to mention it fits right in on any list of the best movies ever. As long and exhausting as a trip way up the Nung River, Apocalypse Now is a rare case of a masterpiece that relies more on apocaliptic images than plot development. it doesn't matter, it's just a matter of enjoying the ride and trying to stay alive. no wonder why it was so difficult to finish and why people almost lost their minds doing it.

7 - No Country For Old Men (2007)

The most recent masterpiece brought to our eyes. I could use half the spots of this list with films from the Coen Brothers but I'm really starting to believe that No Country For Old Men is their best work so far. I really believe everyone should see Blood Simple, Raising Arizona, Fargo, The Big Lebowski and others, but there's something about last year's academy awards winner that got me. It is so penetrating, so meaningful in its silence, I don't know how many times I could watch it without getting bored.

6 - Scarface (1983)

One of the most charismatic characters ever and one of the greatest acting performances of all time. What else do you want? Everyone here knows what I'm talking about and after rewatching Scarface a few weeks ago it climbed back in my rankings. The chainsaw sequence in the beginning of the film might be the best "deal gone wrong" scene ever.

stay tuned for the top 5 on my next post!
