Vote for Pirates of the Carribean 2) Pirates of the Carribean

Great comedy, great action, great acting, great visuals...this movie has it all. Johhny Depp IS Captain Jack Sparrow.

great movie, bad acting, orlando bloom needs to go back to doing magazine ads, where he doesn’t have to talk, johnny depp and jeoffry rush excellent

I love everything in that movie I died laughing!!!!!!!


Vote for Braveheart 3) Braveheart

Who doesn’t like this movie? It’s an epic movie with a fabulous combination of a love story, and a great action movie. Combine that with the acting of Mel Gibson, and it’s a done deal. On the list of the greatest since the day it came out.

Vote for Troy 4) Troy

This movie was highly unappreciated when it came out, and I think it’s because a majority of the people had no idea what was going on. But, those that have read the Illiad, or even know the story line, generally liked the move. The movie has awe-inspiring fight scenes, and raw emotion. It is a very powerful movie.

Vote for The Shawshank Redemption 5) The Shawshank Redemption

If you check IMDB.com, this is rated the second best movie of all time.

Vote for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King 6) The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

best trilogy ever too

yeahhh

The greatest series of movies ever created.

Baltimore1993


Vote for War of the Worlds 7) War of the Worlds

I will start by saying I Do Not like Tom Cruise, or Dakota Fanning, but this movie is a masterpiece. I was truly frightened while watching this movie, and they have done a great job making this very creative book an even more creative movie. Even if you don’t like the movie, you should be able to appreciate the visual effects.

Vote for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 8) Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

This love story has some of the most stunning fight scenes I have ever seen. The casting of this movie makes this wonderful story truly come to life. Very few movies have been copy catted with such little success.

Vote for Equilibrium 9) Equilibrium

I was absolutely entranced the entire time watching this movie. A combination of incredible visuals, and a very creative storyline, this movie starring Christian Bale and Sean Bean, along with Taye Diggs is a strong movie with some awesome fight scenes, and a great plot.

Vote for Count of Monte Cristo 10) Count of Monte Cristo

I put this on the top for many reasons. The acting, the script, and the fact that is based on one of my favorite books, and was done exceedingly well. Richard Harris is a genius in this movie. He is one of my favorite charectars in the movie.
