I’ve been maintaining this list on my iPad for a couple years now. I needed over five blog posts to test my paginations and taxonomies so I thought this was worthy of a post.

In no particular order, some amazing, well-done movies, and some that are merely a comfort to watch.

• Clueless
• Raising Arizona
• Fargo
• The Man Who Wasn’t There
• The Hudsucker Proxy
• Oh Brother Where Art Thou?
• The Big Lebowski

• Napoleon Dynamite
• Get Shorty
• Election
• To Die For
• Green Card

• Dangerous Liaisons
• Ghost World
• Despicable Me
• Shrek
• Jackie Brown
• Undercover Brother

I know these aren’t great movies, but they’re lighthearted and fun and make great cheerful background noise. Here’s some favorites that I have a little trouble admitting.

You may notice that girl power dominates this list. I just did.

• 9 to 5
• The First Wives Club
• Sister Act
• All About Steve (Sandra Bullock won a Razzie for this but I thought it was kind of funny)
• House Party
• Heartbreakers
• Undercover Brother
• Ruthless People
