Mark Goldberg's Top Ten Movie List

1. King Kong
   My favorite movie of all time. Absolutely flawless from start to finish and one of the most influential films of all time. The special effects are extraordinary.
   
   
2. Bull Durham
   The most realistic portrayal of life in the minor leagues.Also makes my list because I love Susan Sarandon.
   
   
3. Casablanca
   I saw this movie for the first time last year and was floored at the incredible dialogue and suspense.
   
   
4. Close Encounters of the Third Kind
   Spielberg nailed it on the head with this one, the scene of the ship coming in over Devil's Tower still floors me. A friend of mine had never seen this before and was backpacking across the US last summer when he saw an advertisement for a special screening of Close Encounters. He got to see it for the first time outdoors, in front of Devil's Tower. I was so jealous.
   
   
5. Field of Dreams
   It is sentimental and somewhat sappy, but this story of never giving up on your dreams still makes me emotional and I have seen it at least 20 times.
   
   
6. Muppet Movie
   I was raised on the muppets, what can I say. A simple, beautiful movie.
   
   
7. Princess Bride
   How can I not love a movie that introduces the viewer to the Dread Pirate Wesley? Plus, it has Andre the Giant.
   
   
8. Raiders of The Lost Ark
   I would echo the comments of many other reviewers, an absolute classic
   
   
9. The Usual Suspects
   One of the best and most complex films of the 1990s, it has the best ending of any film in the last 20 years.
   
   
10. Young Frankenstein
    Mel Brooks at his finest. Madeline Kahn steals every scene in which she appears.
