1. Seven (1995)

Only in a world this shitty could you even try to say these were innocent people and keep a straight face. But that's the point. We see a deadly sin on every street corner, in every home, and we tolerate it. We tolerate it because it's common, it's trivial. We tolerate it morning, noon, and night. Well, not anymore. I'm setting the example. What I've done is going to be puzzled over and studied and followed...forever.

5. Heat (1995)

Vincent Hanna: You know, we are sitting here, you and I, like a couple of regular fellas. You do what you do, and I do what I gotta do. And now that we've been face to face, if I'm there and I gotta put you away, I won't like it. But I tell you, if it's between you and some poor bastard whose wife you're gonna turn into a widow, brother, you are going down.
Neil McCauley: There is a flip side to that coin. What if you do got me boxed in and I gotta put you down? Cause no matter what, you will not get in my way. We've been face to face, yeah. But I will not hesitate. Not for a second.

8. Leaving Las Vegas (1995)

You haven't seen the worst of it. I knock things over... throw up all the time. These past few days I've been very controlled. You're like some sort of antidote that mixes with the liquor and keeps me in balance. But, that won't last forever.

10. Mallrats (1995)

Brodie: There is something out there that can help us ease our simultaneous double loss.
T.S. Quint: What? Ritual suicide?
Brodie: No, you idiot, the fucking mall!
T.S. Quint: I'd prefer ritual suicide.

13. The Prophecy (1995)

I'm an angel. I kill firstborns while their mamas watch. I turn cities into salt. I even, when I feel like it, rip the souls from little girls, and from now till kingdom come, the only thing you can count on in your existence is never understanding why.

15. Billy Madison (1995)

Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Another interesting mix of films. I like that you are open to so many genres of film. Hope you get a chance to watch Before Sunrise one of these days. Really a great film of its kind.

Some "interesting" mix of films... And I'm being really PC right now... I would rather say you make some weird choices... but Xanadon't is right, it is definitely refreshing!

I really have to watch Mallrats again...

And you can skip Nick of time, it is ok but nothing great.

Seven was such a great movie, and I can see why it tops your list, I didn't like The Usual Suspects the first time I saw it, but I know it's considered a classic, so I am sure I'll add it to my DVD collection at some point and will be giving it another watch.

Glad to see Seven is Number 1. Great job!
