Tom's Favorite Movies

In light of tonight's Academy Awards ceremonies, I decided to compile a list of my favorite movies, or at least the top 30 of them, to express my cinematic interests to the world. Most of them are big-time award winners and no-brainers, but I usually like a movie for its camera work, thoroughness, music, realism, emotion and sometimes, historical significance. That being said, my favorite comedies also make the list.

03. The Departed
04. The Last Samurai
05. Jurassic Park
