88. Rear Window (1954)
I'd be stupid if I didn't include a Hitchcock film on this list. Rear Window is definitely my favorite. The reason this film is so suspenseful is that Gregory Peck's wheelchair bound antagonist is watching the murder mystery unfold just as an audience member in a theatre is. However, in his situation, the murderer has the power to come off the screen and actually harm him. Also, the asthetic of an apartment building where each window offers a different scene of domesticity gives me the same joy as a shelf full of miniatures.

89. Fiddler on the Roof (1971)
"Daidle daidle deedle daidle dum." The music, the dancing, the Yarmulkes! I'm a sucker for a good musical. This film is a celebration of the love and traditions that bind families and communities together. It also explores the forces, external and internal, that test those bonds and work to create change. Topol gives a brilliant career-defining performance as Tevye, the sole male in a family of women who have their own ideas about marriage and religion. The music is beautiful.

90. The Exorcist (1973)
"Mother? What's wrong with me?"Scariest Movie Ever. Happy Halloween.

91. Slacker (1991)
"Uh, I don't do much really, I just read, and work here, and, uh, sleep and eat, and, uh, watch movies."That quote pretty much sums up the story of what I did in Austin for the two and a half years I lived there. HOwever, my job as a desk monkey was not nearly as cool as most of the "slacker" jobs in Austin, like waiter or book salesman. Richard Linklater's first film out of college captures his generation at the point where time seems disposable and every moment is ripe for pontification. Although the style and fashion is somewhat indicative of the time, the movie is still relevant for every generation since then. Really, it's almost a portrait of the city of Austin, as it is o

92. Alien (1979)
"I admire its purity. A survivor... unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality."It's hard for me to get on board for most outer space movies. The color palette is usually drab, the technology is dated, the setting is cold and isolating. All of this is true in Alien, but for some reason I am totally on board the starship Nostromo. Maybe it's the cat. It makes it seem homey somehow, despite the face-sucking aliens and cheese-oozing robots. Plus, my favorite, Harry Dean Stanton, is part of the crew.
