For absolutely different reasons, each movie in this list is one of the number one movies ever made. Due to the incredibly high gross(out) of bad movies that have been coming out, 10:1, at least and growing, every year since 1900, the good movies have been harder to spot, much easier to miss. This list is in no particular order and these movies are all must own. The Big Lebowski, Titanic, and forrest Gump do not appear on this list and do not belong near it, though those films are enjoyable in their own rights.

Go to your favorite video purchasing site and buy:

Raising Arizona - The ultimate family adventure film featuring: romance, action, some minimal swearing, the best chase scene in motion picture history(involving: cops, a store clerk, an old man in a pickup truck, a pack of dogs, a holdup man, his wife, a kidnapped infant, and a pack of huggies), kidnapping, adorable babies, the wrath os Hell, escaped prison inmates, stolen cars, Polish jokes and a very good reason never to tell derogatory jokes, life's hardships, a person who once ate sand, prison psychology, and a man called Nathan Arizona.

On a mission from God to raise five thousand dollars and deliver it to the Cooke County Assesser's Office in the Honorable Richard J. Daley building in Downtown Chicago, Illinois, Jake and Elwood Blues must find a way to finance an orphanage on the verge of foreclosure. The two drive across the state in the hopes of reviving their old band; they promote their upcoming show with the help of some famous faces, including Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, and Cab Calloway. A cop chase of immeasurable proportions coincides with a car battle between the Blues Brothers and the Illinois Nazis, headed by Henry Gibson. More cops than you ever thought existed and a race against the clock to save the orphanage make the crescendo a heart stopping thrill-ride. The musical interludes throughout are a wonderful tribute to Vaudeville and to the original Saturday Night Live.
