This is more of a short film than a full out movie, but it's still one of my personal movies. It was directed by Jim Henson, and was released in 1969. I love this movie, because you can think about what it can mean in different ways. Also, Richard Schall is great as the lead protagonist.

This is also one of the first movies I gave a 10/10. It has good comedy, colorful characters, and awesome music. In matter of fact, I have the 15th anniversary soundtrack. So, you should watch it if you haven't already.

This is far my favorite horror movie. It has an eerie atmosphere, twists at every corner, and lovely acting. I recommend watching this one late at night, to add to the feel of the movie.

Death to Smoochy is a hilarious movie about the kiddie show business. Sadly, Williams passed away only a couple of weeks after I watched this movie for the first time. But still, it is a great comedy, with good characters and funny dialogue.

I love David Lynch as a director. And other than his Short Films of David Lynch collection, this is my favorite thing by him. It has a surreal atmosphere, good acting, and the terrifying turtle baby.
7. Zombieland (2009)
R | 88 min | Action, Comedy, Horror
A shy student trying to reach his family in Ohio, a gun-toting bruiser in search of the last Twinkie and a pair of sisters striving to get to an amusement park join forces in a trek across a zombie-filled America.

This is a great horror comedy. With funny running gags, great performances, and even a Bill Murray cameo, it makes up for a great experience.
