You know what... if I didn't hate Laura Linny and Richard Gere so much 'Primal Fear' would have been on my list... just because Edward Norton (the most fabulous actor ever to grace the earth) is the supreme god of Hollywood.

FYI: Edward Norton, 33-years-old, speaks fluent Japanese, graduate of Yale, great voice, adorable yet handsome face, hot body (see: AMX), killer choice in roles... the perfect man.

That's an interesting numbering system you've got there.

Yes.. yes it is :glugglug

The Shawshank Redemption
Fight Club
Dr Strangelove
Snatch
Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels

I can't stop at just five. Another 3.

Platoon
Mean Machine
Braveheart

Non Horror:

Pulp Fiction
Clerks
Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Horror:

The Beyond
Dawn of the Dead
The Evil Dead
Bad Taste
Phantasm

:thumbsup

I gotta say, the only thing I can fault you on is not being able to count, but that's the best list. Any "package" you put up there would win. I've never seen anybody else mention Run Lola Run, which is an awesome movie. First time I watched it was the original German vocal track and it's amazing how you can still understand the story without knowin what the hell they're saying.

Good job!:thumbsup

if going to include horror flicks, have to include the original Exorcist and the video of my marriage and the sequel

MEAN MACHINE?!?!?! Man you really are a fan of Vinny Jones! I agree with Lock STock and Snatch, both are excellent movies, but Mean Machines was just good, not the same caliber. It was a rental.

Althought Shawshank and Fight club are fantastic movies, gotta give you props for those ones! :winkwink:

Me neither.

Trainspotting, Snatch, Kes, Sen To Chihiro No Kami Kakushi, Lock Stock, Boyz N The Hood, Menace II Society, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, The Matrix, Ringu, Spiderman, A Bronx Tale, Fight Club, Goodfellas, Hope And Glory, Ame Agaru, Die Hard, Natural Born Killers, Loser, Stand By Me, The Lion King, Coyote Ugly, You've Got Mail, Toy Story, Rain Man, Suna No Utsuwa, Robocop, A Thousand Acres, Mobsters, Traffic and The Shawshank Redemption.

1. original Star Wars Trilogy
2. Aliens

HOw about MUllholand drive? David LYnch fans club

I gotta admit, i'm a HUGE Vinney Jones fan. Way back from his Wimbledon days!

But it's not just him. Jason Statham's character is fantatic. And i love the two Bob commentators. Funny shit. And no, i don't think it's up there with Lock Stock and Snatch, but still one of my favourites.

requiem for a dream
the cube
matrix
das experiment

Here is the real list:

1) Glitter

Pulp fiction
Schindler's List
Lawrence of Arabia

The Colour Purple
Gone with the Wind
Saving Private Ryan
As Good As It Gets

Never tire seeing them and see something new every time.

1. Fantasia
2. Natural Born Killers
3. Amelie


those are my favorites :)

I love this movie. I just watched it for the 1st time a month ago. Very touching and inspiring.

Damn you can never give a top 5 unless it just happens to be five you seen more times....

Casino
Dances With Wolves
The Shining
English Patient
Stir Crazy

And....... HEAT for the amount they edited out "Henry Rollins" from the final movie. He gets about one line - in every other scene people are beating the shit outta him.

Bat21
A Bridge 2 Far
A Few Good Men
Silence Of The Lambs
The Matrix

You guys really need to see Life Is Beautiful. I love most of the movies listed here in the thread but L-I-B absolutely kills them all. There's a reason Roberto Beningni(sp?) won the Academy Award for that movie. Schindlers list doesn't even compare. :2 cents:

wanna be my friend? :)
I fucking LOVE those movies, The Beyond is a masterpiece, as most of Lucio Fulci´s work. Deeply underrated, misunderstood and bizarre.
And Dawn of The Dead is a classic, action packed zombie movie.

Excellent choices.

Snatch
Seven
Fight Club

princess mono was kinda boring i'm surprised you have that listed. i got the dvd and i use it on my desk to put my drink on it.

Mulholland Drive kinda sucked imo. Not nearly as good as some of his other things. Wild at Heart should've been in there though.

Hmmmm could you have some Italian blood by any chance? Let's see, Goodfellas, Casino and Brasco, all italian mob related. Ocean's eleven is about a heist. Armagedon is the only one I can't figure out. Ah wait, Liv Tyler right? :winkwink:

shawshank redemption
usual suspects
green mile
kung fu colt master

- Fuckin' hated LOTR.

A clockwork orange
South Park

:1orglaugh

Reminds me one day I was in line at the bank, and behind me is this chick starts talking to me, complaining... Michael Madsen's ex wife. He was in Europe filming Bond movie, and she was whining about his lateness of child support. I could tell she was pretty much some wild-kinda trashy hollywood type, and quite bitter.

But it was hilarious, I tried not to laugh too much... she kept making comments about his booze and drug issues. I had to bail out of there, it was like she would not fucking shut up and people were staring. :1orglaugh

Whats the movie about? My bestfriend is coming over tonight for a sleepover so maybe we'll rent it. It must be pretty darn good if Schindlers List doesn't compare.

I must say that I enjoy most of the movies people listed. All fairly decent movies.

I can't until Matrix II comes out though, supposedly ground breaking animation in it.

Cheers,
Matt

Snatch
Resevoir Dogs
Swingers
Goodfellas
Fletch
Lord of the Rings

There are some other really good ones, but these I can watch over and over and never get sick of them.

1. Billy Madison
2. Drunken Master (not the crappy edited us version)
3. Enter the Dragon
4. Tommy Boy
5. Fists of Legends

kung-foo movies made outside the US are so much better than anything made in the US.

the people vs. Larry Flint.

Pupl Fiction
Blow
American Beauty
Samotari
Mat a Pat

:)

Hard to list a top 5 because they tend to shift depending upon my mood...but generally, my top 5 would be:

Glengarry Glen Ross
The Exorcist
Bad Taste
Gummo
Welcome To The Dollhouse

I am definitely going with the following:

Goodfellas
Casino
Bronx Tale
The Sweatest Thing
Gladitor

and anything Robert Dinero does!!!!
