That looks awfully like it's full of IMDB Top Films, which is quite predictable, unfortunately.

You want to list the ones out of the ordinary that may get people to think about it more. I'll start the curveball list:

Serenity

12 Monkeys

Betty Blue

Draughtsmans Contract

Fight Club

Big Lebowski

Happy Gilmore

... and others.

The Godfather

Pedro Almodavar's recent movie, Volver, was great too, and Penelope Cruz looks damn good there :Jumpy:

I could go on and on and on, dig back into every decade from the 50s and there's something I like :D

I don't seem to have bothered watching Gladiator, The Green Mile and Saving Private Ryan (but my brother has them all on DVD, so someday) and couldn't be bothered with the 10 hours of children's books adaptations that the Lord of the Rings is.

I do like Star Wars though!

I can watch most movies, even cr@p ones! I even watch The Fast And The Furious and it's sequel, as well as Throttle, and the American Pie Series etc

Animal House

Strange Brew

Platoon

Napoleon Dynamite :lol:

Weird Science

Raising Arizona

and on and on and on...

I liked those too, especially Strange Brew :D

Forgot to add A Clockwork Orange - only saw it recently.

Also, V For Vendetta

I watched Owning Mahowny last night which was interesting. Reminds me of my obsessiveness with watches even though it's about a compulsive gambler.

Hard to beat SCARFACE with Al Pacino as my top movie.

Any sphaghetti western with Clint Eastwood is great on a sunday afternoon.

COOL HAND LUKE is a classic too.

And if your really drunk, WEDDING CRASHERS or OLD SCHOOL are pretty funny.

But no list would be complete without THE SOPORNOS.
