No. 34 - Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)
“People on ludes should not drive.” Nuff said.
No. 33 - Jerry McGuire (1996)
Another great movie by Cameron Crowe. What happened to Cuba Gooding, Jr. after this flick? Then again, what happened to Tom Cruise? And the kid with the glasses?
No. 32 - Christmas Vacation (1989)
My favorite Christmas movie of all time and the best, that’s right, the best movie in this series. Yes, even better than Vegas Vacation

We’ve reached the top 40 movies in this list. Can you believe it? Only a year to go
No. 40 - Say Anything (1989)
A great movie from Cameron Crowe, one of my favorite filmmakers, and John Cusack, one of my favorite actors.
No. 39 - Spider-Man 2 (2004)
Spider-Man loses his powers, gets them back and continues to chase Kirsten Dunst for some reason. Seriously though, Spider-Man 2 is a great comic book movie, an improvement on the original, and the best in series.
No. 38 - Old School (2003)
Will Farrell, Luke Wilson, and Vince Vaughn return to college (sort of). Classic.
Check out movies 100 through 41 in the list here!

Writer’s Strike: Movies About or Featuring Writers As Characters
Posted on November 6, 2007
Filed Under General Movie Lists | 3 Comments
On Monday, the people who write our favorite comedies, dramas, movies and late night shows went on strike. If this strike lasts for any significant period of time, we will eventually be watching re-runs. In fact, it’s already affecting late-night television. The strike could also shorten the final season of one of my favorite shows - Scrubs. Here’s hoping it ends soon.
With the current state of affairs in Hollywood, what would be more relevant than a list of movies about writers and/or that feature writers as characters? Here are ten eleven such movies (in no particular order) with a (very) short synopsis of each:
The Shining (1980)
Writer goes crazy.
Capote (2005)
Writer is obsessed.
Permanent Midnight (1998)
Writer likes drugs - a lot.
Stranger Than Fiction (2006)
Writer can’t figure out how to end her novel.
Misery (1990)
Writer is saved and then kidnapped by an obsessed fan.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)
Writer takes a trip with his lawyer.
Stand By Me (1986)
Writer remembers that crazy summer when he and his friends found a dead body.
Almost Famous (2000)
Wannabe writer goes on tour.
Interview with the Vampire (1994)
Writer interviews a vampire.
As Good As It Gets (1997)
Writer with obsessive compulsive disorder falls in love.
The Player (1992)
Writer threatens a producer.
