Best Movie List

[loudboy]

too right! it may not have been as good as the first two, (but infinitely better than the fourth), but i loved it. it may not stand up as well if i were to watch it again during this BB and TDK era ,but while i was dreaming up my list, there it was. call it a guilty pleasure

actually, can i swap it for judge dredd?

[bothy]

The first 4 are in order, after that.. not so much

2001: A space oddysey
Mulholland drive
Casablanca
The fountain
The Empire strikes back
8 1/2
Good night, and good luck
Annie Hall
There will be blood
Fight club

the first 8, although not necesarly in order are pretty solid... the other two come and go, but now it´s those two

Lol! Judge Dredd is definitely a guilty pleasure! I enjoy the film a lot, despite it pandering to the Hollywood audiences and breaking the rules of it's comic roots....

Shawshank Redemption

The Terminator (The Technoir scene still gets my heart pumping)

Point Break (Practically every scene gets my heart pumping)

A Few Good Men (Dont know if i have ever seen a courtroom drama more than once, but this i have seen about 20 times, brilliant)

Goodfellas (Not many people would have this outside their top 5 or 10)

Manhunter (Michael Mann, brilliant film, and still better than Red Dragon)

And Finally The Departed (Do not know one single person who thinks this film is nothing other than fantastic)
