Well I just sat down and tried to list my top 10 films of all time. Here goes...

4. Der Untergang
5. Crash
6. Hitler- The Rise of Evil
7. The Prestige

10. American Beauty

Crash (1996) or Crash (2004)?


I'm useless at top tens. What I like really depends on the mood I'm in.

Paul Haggis's version of course! Cronenberg's is

I preferred Cronenberg's.

can't think of top 10 right now, but i can think of top 3!
doubt any of you would class these as a 'must-see' movie though...

1) Finding Nemo
2) The Bourne Trilogy
3) The Proposal

Come on man!? The Proposal as your third favorite film of all time

Not going to tell you you're wrong because it's your opinion but it's not a film I'd go around recommending everyone to see!

Gah! How didn't I put Pan's Labyrinth in my top 10. I also love Kill Bill Volume 1! Watched Leon the other day and wasn't as good as I thought on first viewing!

Had a quick scan through my dvd collection and picked out a few favourites. I'd say that each one of these movies had a profound affect on me. The ones in bold are the must sees:

Akira - one of the finest animated films ever made
Apocalypse Now: Redux - the best war film ever made
Audition - a superb psychological horror
The Big Lebowski - The Dude abides
Blade Runner - best sci-fi film ever made
Blazing Saddles - the funniest film I've ever seen
Blood and Black Lace - beautifully shot, a must for all giallo fans
Die Hard - one of, if not the best action movie ever made
Hamlet - faithful retelling of a classic
Heat - great heist movie, DeNiro and Pacino on top form
Lost Highway - one of Lynch's more accessible films
The Lost Weekend - an intriguing look into the life of an alcoholic
Perfect Blue - a brilliant psychological thriller, proof that animation can be for adults
The Royal Tenenbaums - I could've put any Wes Anderson movie in this list, chose the first one I saw
Taxi Driver - DeNiro at his absolute best
Tetsuo, the Iron Man - almost no dialogue and a fantastic soundtrack from Chu Ishikawa, a must for anyone into body horror
Videodrome - the film that got me interested in films
