Hmm never got the mass appeal for Leon, very good film but I don't think it's a masterpiece. Watched it again the other day on blu-ray actually.

 

[ExRayTed]

Leon
The Usual Suspects
L.A. Confidential
Memento
Fight Club
Dead Man's Shoes
Pulp Fiction
Lord of the Rings (Fellowship)
Se7en
GoodFellas.

There are more but they'll do for now.

Films that should be there but aren't...

Godfather Trilogy (despite great performances didn't grab me at all really)

Shawshank (Good..not great IMO)

Good thread btw

I felt the same about Inglourious ********, a really miss leading trailer. I thought it would manily be around the group of hard hitting jews.

 

[Curio]

In no order

Pulp Fiction
The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
Star Wars (original trilogy)
Hero
Robocop (just the first one!)
The Sting
Predator (just the first one!)
Big
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
The Dark Knight

Very difficult question, I've looked at this a few times and not come up with a list but here's an attempt although it might well change for me tomorrow. These are all films that I think constitute a must see i.e. your life will be better for having watched it.

12 Angry Men
Casablanca
The Third Man
Shichinin No Samurai (Seven Samurai)
Point Blank
Shawshank Redemption
Fearless
Million Dollar Baby
This Is Spinal Tap
Full Metal Jacket

I've already edited this list about three times and debated with myself why I'm including certain films at the expense of others. I could maybe do a top fifty and be relatively happy that I'm not leaving too much out but even then...

 

[Belmit]

It's probably about half and half, while I could watch all of them any number of times and enjoy them there's a number of films that would rank more highly than say five of those in terms of pure enjoyment. Some of my favourite films are pretty rubbish in any cinematic sense and I don't expect other people to find the value in them that I do so I've tried to go for a reasonable spread of what I think are the best films I've ever seen.

As I say though I could easily name dozens more that are almost on a par, there'd be a hardcore of three or four that I couldn't drop but the rest could be interchanged without issue.

Exactly the same, but actually its just about some french gal and some german kid... brilliant...

They're all outstanding films.

I have a real soft spot for Dead Man's Shoes personally think it's one of the better British films made period. It's just fantastic and powerful.
