I know they added in things that weren't in the book, but I still found myself really enjoying it. What did you not like about them?

Tough call. I'm primarily a comedy guy.
1. Caddyshack
2. Godfather
3. No Country For Old Men
4. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
5. Blues Brothers
6. The Dark Knight
Really hard to rank past that:
Godfather: Part II
Freaked
The Big Lebowski
Blazing Saddles or Ghostbusters or Spaceballs

that's hard man.. past the first few which are etched in stone. Funny for all teh sh*t I give Hollywood, two modern flicks would be in my top 10, though hardly considered 'hollywood' flicks in themselves. 1) Dr. Zhivago 2) Blazing Saddles 3) The Wild Bunch 4) Blade Runner 5) Melancholia 6) Cross Of Iron 7) Bull Durham 8) Das Boot 9) Once Upon a Time in America 10) The Life of Pi
