45 out of 100. Not bad, I suppose, but that means the thousand or so other movies I’ve seen weren’t on there, and I think maybe should have been. (With the exception of nine-tenths of the indie flicks my ex wife made me watch. I figure she owes me about 150 hours of my life back for those.)<\/p>\n

When it comes down to preferences, they are:<\/p>\n

  • Caper \/ Crime movies<\/li>\n
  • Science Fiction<\/li>\n
  • Action movies (Provided they have witty dialog)<\/li>\n
