26. Every time I make a list like this I kick myself
Fri Jan 22, 2016, 04:43 PM
Jan 2016

when I see something on another list I forgot. But here's a good effort. Films I will always love for whatever reasons:

Fargo
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Pulp Fiction
Reservoir Dogs
Glengarry Glen Ross
Repo Man
2001: A Space Odyssey
The Big Lebowski
Stripes
Kingpin
Blade Runner
The Warriors
Star Wars (episodes 4, 5 and 6)
Being John Malkovich
The Jerk
Leap of Faith
Planes, Trains and Automobiles

If i got 21 I'd put all Monty Python movies in addition to stuff Pythoners were in or wrote or sneezed at.

edit to add: CRAP! Shadow of the Vampire needs on my list. Not sure which to remove to make room so I won't.
