Lots of great picks. I recently read Monte Cristo unabridged and i loved it.
Would love to hear about the following picks - why they made the list:
-There Will Be Blood (very well made and well acted, but there's probably more to it if it's #3 on the list)
-Battlefield Earth

I thought There Will be Blood was nearly perfect from a cinematic perspective. Cinematography, score, plot, acting, everything. The first time I saw it, I kept it on repeat for 3 straight days, basking in its achievement.
Battlefield Earth is a masterpiece of fiction, huge in scope and detailed in execution. Johnny might be my favorite hero. He goes from loin cloth primitive to galactic dominance in a believable way. I learned a lot from him.
