1. Dreamgirls

Great film that. Probably the only example of Hollywood improving on a foreign film with its remake that I can think of.

I either of you are up for a highly-fictionalised yet totally awesome account of the making of that film, watch Shadow Of the Vampire. One of my favourite ever vampire movies without a shadow.

^^yeah, was intrigued by that - was sitting on the shelves in the DVD shop near my house a while back, but not there anymore

Difficult to pick just 5. Off the top of my head these would be among the contenders.

2001 A Space Odyssey
Greed
Sanma no aji
Il deserto rosso
Steamboat Bill Jnr.

Ghost World
Mulholland Dr.
The Fountain
Donnie Darko
El Espinazo Del Diablo

1. Good Will Hunting
2. Lost In Translation
3. Heathers
4. Glengarry Glen Ross
5. Brassed Off

"Good Will Hunting" is my favourite film ever so thats secure but apart from that it changes a lot. Ive been watching "The Good, the Bad & the Ugly" quite a bit recently and I was hooked on "Edward Scissorhands" for a while around last Christmas. It changes it a lot depending on the mood Im in.

I love Good Will Hunting. I should watch it again sometime.

1. The Emperor's New Groove
2. Wall-E
3. American Psycho

**** it, I'm not a movie person, but those three are the first that come to mind.

Fight Club
Pulp Fiction
Good Will Hunting
American Beauty
Annie Hall

Seriously? Why do you think that? Not even did I find it not as good, a few of the changes made completely destroyed the story and made it nonsensical... I really preferred the original one.

Gummo
Mullholand Drive
Kids
Kill Bill 1
The Fountain

1. Bladerunner- Just saw it at the cinema again last year digitally enhanced and it was a revelation in moviemaking.

2. Amadeus- F Murray Abraham and Tom Hulce were exceptional and this movie is definitely worthy of any top 5.

3. Papillon- Steve Mcqueen and Dustin Hoffman and an overall great story with historical leanings.

4. The Godfather- One of the greatest movies ever on any list. I feel the acting in this movie stands up today to anything ever made.

5. Chinatown- not sure why on this one, i just love the boldness of Nicholsons character and this movie in general.

Honorable mention to Citizen Kane which i'm sure i'll be punished for in a different life.

outside of the Top 5 I posted earleir, honourable mention goes to Scott Pilgrim and Black Dynamite

1. Gregory's Girl.
2. Halloween (original of course)
3. The Thing
4. Aguire: The Wrath Of God
5. The Big Blue

Right now it they are:

Road To Perdition
Heat
Collateral
Pool Hall Junkies
Slapshot

I forgot The Thing, what an absolute thriller it was. I used to watch it on laser disc over and over as a kid. Yeah i said laser disc. :rofl:

The Thing is awesome.
Escape From New York is another favorite of mine as well.

Great list and Citizen Kane IS a great film and blows the arse of most films even today. It is still eminently watchable.

The only film I don't like is Chinatown. I still find it ridiculously overrated.

1. Three Colors Trilogy
2. The Big Lebowski
3. Notorious (Hitch**** film, not the Notorious B.I.G. one)
4. Fitzcarraldo
5. Don't Look Now

How come?

Memento
city of god
mysterious skin
old boy
ran

Trois Coleurs and the Duder rawks all kinds of serious ass

This usually varies a lot for me. At the moment, these films are at the top of my list - a few of them have been for quite some time.

1.) American Beauty
2.) All About Eve
3.) Fargo
4.) The Children's Hour
5.) Phantom of the Paradise

A fan of Jörg Buttgereit I see? Ever seen Schramm? It is hard to get hold of here and quite expensive on import unfortunately so I haven't got around to seeing it. Saying that I haven't seen Nekromantik 1 or 2 either. I have been told that 2 is far better.

haven't heard of Schramm

Yes 2 is better - almost a romance film with corpses
