Jamie Dull’s Top Ten Movies

December 25th, 2009 Idolatry Jamie Dull

Here at The Red Circle, we are hoping you have a safe and enjoyable holiday. To celebrate on our part, we’re posting some of our contributor’s favorite films of all time. These aren’t the ones that we deem to be the best, or most important. Rather, its the movies we can watch on repeat – the movies that make us us

10. Tommy Boy
Fell In love with this movie when I was a kid. It took place roughly 35 minutes from where I grew up, so naturally I related to it. Hiarious too!

9. Twister
I know, I know! Really? Twister? Hey! Shut it, ok? I really got into this film when I was a kid because I was fascinated by tornadoes. Plus the cinematography is wonderful!

8. Clue
Seriously, Tim Curry’s acting in this movie is beyond brilliant. Not to mention that Michael McKean is pretty bad ass too.

7. Once
Much like my column that I wrote about this movie, I’m fascinated by its brilliant musical score and wonderful emotion. Such a good movie to relax with.

6. Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope
A year ago this film wouldn’t have even grazed by thought process, but recently I fell in love with the Stars Wars trilogy, finally accepting its greatness into my life.

5. A League of Their Own
I used to watch this movie regularly when I was a kid. Tom Hanks’ acting is beyond awesome. I love baseball, and Tom Hanks is my favorite actor, so naturally this was a good combo.

4. Robin Hood: Men In Tights
Dude, you can’t go wrong with this film. Cary Elwes is one of the most underrated actors of all time. Plus Mel Brooks is a genius.

3. Almost Famous
I’m a sucker for movies that revolve around a musical storyline. This movie has always spoken to me on a level that I can’t explain.

2. High Fidelity
John Cusack is wonderful. As a Chicago resident (I actually live in the same neighborhood as the music store’s location), I can watch this film over and over and still find joy. Such a beautiful story.

1. That Thing You Do!
As mentioned before, Tom Hanks is my favorite actor. Trying to describe why this movie is my all time favorite in a couple sentences is difficult. Let’s just say that the attention to detail and raw emotion attached to the story is was gets me every time. Such an unbelievable film. The perfect movie for aspiring musicians.
