Top Twenty Movie Lists

My sons and I have had an incredible time watching The Nostalgia Critic on Youtube for quite some time.  For those of you who haven't watched it yet, here is a link to one of his reviews:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3488QwxmQU

I hope you like it and you're welcome.  

For as long as they can remember, my sons and I have had a number of movie nights together.  And as my older ones approach their teenage years, I am having a blast showing them the movies I have loved for years.  To watch them stare in awe at the musical numbers in Amadeus, laugh hysterically at Monty Python's The Holy Grail and A Fish Called Wanda, and get drawn into Silence of the Lambs, The Sixth Sense, and The Green Mile has been joyful and bonding experience. 

This past weekend, at my sons' suggestion, we each decided to complete a top 20 list of our favorite movies of all time.  It took us two days to compile, organize, and discuss our lists. What a fine way to spend a weekend!  Here are our lists...
