Top 15 Movies in the Past 15 Years

This was on IMDB today http://www.imdb.com/features/15thanniversary/staff

It made me want to make my own list.

1. The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
2. The Usual Suspects (1995)
3. Groundhog Day (1993)
4. Lord of the Rings:Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
5. Silence of the Lambs (1991)
6. L.A. Confidential (1997)
7. Gladiator (2000)
8. The Sixth Sense (1999)
9. The Fugitive (1993)
10. Unforgiven (1992)
11. Jurassic Park (1993)
12. Schindler's List (1993)
13. Pirates of the Caribbean:The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
14. Magnolia (1999)
15. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)

The best thing about these lists are they make you think. I actually laughed out loud at some of the IMDB staff picks. I'm sure you will roll your eyes at some of my picks. I was going to go into what my criteria was, but then realized I had no scientific criteria. It was just basically how much I enjoyed the movie and how many times I'd be willing to watch it. I felt bad about leaving out some good stuff like Dude Where's My Car, and The Spy Who Shagged Me but they just didn't seem to fit on the list. Have fun with your own list!

Office Space and O Brother Where Art Thou are on mine. And I also loved True Romance and Tombstone. But your list is not bad at all. There isn't one movie on it that I didn't enjoy watching.

Zelda, I love those first 2 also. That's the trouble with lists - only so much space.
