Forgot about Hoop Dreams, easily my favorite sports movie and documentary.
Last three for me, all horror flicks, the great ones never get the respect they deserve.
30. Black Christmas (70's version - though the remake was not bad)
29. Dawn of the Dead and for that matter, The Evil Dead, Day of the Dead, Night of the Living Dead and Shaun of the Dead.
28. The Shining
The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh, ha ha. You're like only the 4th person I've ever heard mention that movie. I was in love with Stockard Channing for some crazy reason.

True fact: I'm in that movie for a half-second. It was my HS that upset St. Joe's in the 1990 playoffs. It remains the one and only time that I've ever been in a crowd that stormed the playing surface. One of the best days ever, as my HS (Nazareth Academy) had spent 12+ years trying to overcome its rep as an all-girls school and had absolutely pathetic sports teams. Anyway, it's a cool thing to have on film.

The reference to Nazareth reminded me:
16. Jesus Christ Superstar (the only musical I ever liked, and it's a great one).
