These movies are listed in order. "Breakfast Club" has been my favorite movie for many years, and nothing has come along to dethrone it. Something about that movie resonates deeply with me, maybe because I, in school, was part athlete and part brain, thereby crossing two of the categories this film focuses on.

It's hard to rank these movies. There are too many good ones. I'll probably continually revise the listing.

I've probably watched "Dirty Dozen" more than any other film. When I'm channel-surfing and come across it, I can't help myself.
