Although it's a remake, Ocean's Eleven is one of the few remakes that is not only better than the original, but it spawned some pretty good sequels, too. And, although the movie basically glorifies theft, it's possible to view it as just fun and amusing escapism that has a few crooks robbing from a bigger crook, all set against the slick and stylish background of Las Vegas with a truly memorable score from David Holmes. (And it's also about a guy trying to win his girl back from someone a bit more devious than himself.) It's not perfect by any means, but I do enjoy Soderbergh's Ocean's trilogy.

"Ten oughta do it, don't you think? You think we need one more? You think we need one more. Alright, we'll get one more."

Honorable Mentions: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. I can bet this'll ruffle some feathers by choosing Ocean's Eleven over The Fellowship of the Ring, but I do hope it's some consolation that this was a hard choice to make. The Fellowship of the Ring is my favorite of The Lord of the Rings movie series, but I feel like I can't watch one LOTR movie without the other two (or out of order). And that makes it tougher to pick it above a movie that can stand alone, like Ocean's Eleven. I have to also say that Serendipity was one of my first favorite romantic comedies, too. Amy and I both loved it and have even made it a point to visit the famous restaurant, Serendipity III, in New York City that was featured prominently in the movie.
