Schindler's List will remain in my #1 position for all time to pay homage to every Polish Jew that lost his/her life in WWII. The other reason requires no explanation.

Damn bleeding-hearts! "I feel sorry for you. What it must feel like to want to pull the switch. Ever since you walked into this room you've been acting like a self-appointed public avenger. You want to see this boy die because you personally want it; not because of the facts. You're a sadist!"

"Doesn't make sense. I mean, what happened, or why. It had nothing to do with the Clutters. They never hurt me; they just happened to be there. I thought Mr. Clutter was a very nice gentleman... I thought so right up to the time I cut his throat."

Primal Fear (1996)
"I believe in the notion that people are innocent until proven guilty. I believe in that notion because I choose to believe in the basic goodness of people. I choose to believe that not all crimes are committed by bad people. And I try to understand that some very, very good people do some very bad things."

25th Hour (2002)
The best Spike Lee movie I've seen yet. Genius! I've now also seen Do the Right Thing but apparently I still like this one better.

The single most inspirational movie I've seen to date. This is of course subject to change.

I believe this to be the greatest animation ever created... and critics overwhelmingly agree. It easily wins the award for most jaw-dropping action scenes (only beat out by The Matrix). Additionally, the dialog is quite sophisticated.

Not a huge Simpsons fan but this movie was fan-friggin-tastic. It was the perfect blend of comedy, social/political commentary, drama and romance. The transitions between all of these never felt forced or cheesy. Basically, the movie was brilliant and done in the typical genius fashion of The Simpsons. Ugh, I might as well just bite the bullet and say I guess I am a fan of the series after all...

I'm having a difficult time putting these in order since I'm not particularly good at comparing things - especially when they are of very similar qualities. However, they are for the most part in correct order. One of the obvious problems is that the ratings don't correlate with my rankings. I make no plans to reorganize the list since the movies fade in memory over time and I'd therefore rather rely on my initial impressions.
