Well, I think I'm capable of doing 20 as long as it doesn't distract from my usual daily schedule. 

If I'm on a schedule where I do work on something.  I tend to have a good day.  If not, it's a bad day and I become extremely upset.  I'm really starting to question my state of mind at the moment and it's going to be crazier in the coming days as 3 more relatives are coming to stay for a night on Monday and well, it's going to be overcrowded and I don't like overcrowdedness.  I actually went through a period where I couldn't stand overcrowdedness.  Then I have another coming on Thurs. for a few days and then my grandmother & aunt will leave at the end of the month.  It's just getting crazy at home and the stress is really getting to me.

Damn, mouse!  Only 64th place for Manchurian Candidate?  Whahappened?

I think we share eleven titles, but you had a huge number from my runners-up list (twenty-nine, I think).  Of those, the ones that most made me smile:

89. Bowling for Columbine (Michael Moore, 2002)
86. Finding Nemo (Andrew Stanton, 2003)
83. The Verdict (Sidney Lumet, 1982)
80. My Life as a Dog (Lasse Hallstrφm, 1985)
66. Three Kings (David O. Russell, 1999)
56. Contempt (Jean-Luc Godard, 1963)
53. Die Hard (John McTiernan, 1988)
36. Short Cuts (Robert Altman, 1993)

Especially that last one.  I should really watch it again (maybe before revisiting Magnolia for the bracket).
