Ben's Movie / Home Theater PageReviews | DVD Collection | Favorite Movies | Equipment ReviewsJune 14, 2004 - I've decided to start posting single paragraph movie reviews here on my website. It seems that I'm always discussing movies with friends and it would be a shame not to record my thoughts in a comprehensive, archived format. Although I have not attended film school, my qualifications are clearly indicated by my official Blockbuster Gold card, which is something they give you after you rent something like 400 movies in a two year span. The real question is: which came first, the home theater or the slow social life? ;^) I plan on first reviewing my picks from recent releases: Dirty Pretty Things, The Last Samurai, and Monster. For now, just know that each of these are worth watching (yes, even The Last Samurai, which I did not expect to enjoy.) Movies
Favorite Movies1) The Princess Bride '872) The Shawshank Redemption '94 3) When Harry Met Sally '89 4) Braveheart '95 5) Raiders of the Lost Ark ('81) and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade ('89) 6) True Lies '94 7) Forrest Gump '94 8) Contact '97 9) I.Q.

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy - (not yet placed in rank, needs time to settle in, but will probably place high in the top 5).
