Well, while I enjoy most of those on Dublin Andy's List- I've got a list of my own...

1. Rear Window- Hitchcock 1954- Although I've seen this a few hundred times I always get anxious when Grace Kelly is caught snooping in the killers appartment.

2. Unbreakable - M. Night Shyamalan 2000- good little story.

3. Signs- M. Night again 2002. I like the winding together all the clues. It's like peeling away an onion skin.

4. Die Hard -with Bruce Willis- but only the first one -the rest seem all the same.

5. A Perfect World- directed by Clint Eastwood. It's such a sappy movie it makes me cry.

6. The Great escape- 1963-director John Sturges- It's just good as are all the actors envolved.

7. The Taking of Pellum One Two Three- 1974- directed by Joseph Sargent. I think everyone is so true to character you can really fall into it.

8. Stand by Me. directed by Rob Reiner-based on story by Stephen King.

9. Reservoir Dogs- director Quentin Tarantino- 1992- I can not hear "Stuck in the MIddle with You" to this day, without cringing and getting a mental image of the "knife dance". :eek:

10. The Green Mile- another Stephen King story. You know, I don't want to like Stephen King stories, but I do. Most of them anyway. They aren't ever hiding under your coat scarey but they just leave that creeping dread feeling that wakes you up at night to make sure you locked the door.

Well that's my list- at least for today.:)

I'm not really a movie person..

1. Full Metal Jacket - Deep characters, good stories, no bull****, realistic, no BS heroism or over-the-topness
2. First Blood (Rambo I) - Highlights a real societal issue, great display of military expertise and intelligence, no unnecessary deaths or gore, believable all along
3. Back to the Future (the whole trilogy) - It's just an awesome story
4. Orgazmo - Hilarious, unlike the lame comedy movies we have these days with half arsed comedians like Martin Lawrence, Adam Sandler or.. that Jew guy who played Zoolander..
5. Scarface (Howard Hawks' 1932 movie that is) - Unexpectedly good for such an old movie, really, the actors are great and it feels all very realistic and believable. And it's very well produced for the time
6. Ghost Dog, the Way of the Samurai - Just a good movie about a killer who has strange ethics and ways
7. BASEketball - Hilarious as well

That's all I can think of..

Is that straight from a recent cinema listing?! Good one!

I would definitely recomment that posters include some reasoning behind their picks. The Mods close these threads otherwise, and they are right to do so.

Somewhere, someplace, Karl Hungus is feeling a chill down his spine.

Good chioces, would throw in Wall Street, Godfather, Citzen Kane and Pulp Fiction.
Dirty Harry way ahead of its time and under rated. Never saw U-Turn!!

LOL! I have a mixed taste in movies :P

HalloweenJack

Get Carter - Brilliant performance by Michael Cain, also a very good film overall.
Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas - Amazing film. One of the best adaptations I've ever seen.
Downfall - Absolute cracker of a film, tbh I like it so much because it shows a human side to Hitler.
American Psycho - Like this for Christian Bale's lead, it's amazing.
Unforgiven - Really outstanding film, three very good performances in Eastwood, Hackman and Freeman, also very well filmed.
Clerks - Hilarious film.
The Wild Bunch - Fascinating film, excellently shot.
The French Connection - Another great performance from Hackman.
Scarface - Purely for Pacino.
The Shining - Purely for Nicholson.

I disagree. Grossly overrated, poorly produced. The thing about it is simply that it was a mind-blower to anyone who right-thinkly thought of Hitler as an inhumane beast spawned from Satan's arsecrack :pac:

I don't think they are. Amelie and Run Lola Run are great films.

You and someone else on here are 2 of a select bunch of people I know who share my love for this work of genius.

Question for you though, and I do it myself; why do we add the "by Mike Leigh" on to the title?
