Hmm, just noticed we haven't had this topic in a while. It used to pop up all the time. I think this time I might post a list (if I can...).

 

 

 

Donnie Darko

 

Old Boy

 

Leon

 

Lola Rent

 

 

 

? :P Or are you going for a bigger list this time. 8-)

1. National Treasure

 

2. Monty Python and the Holy Grail (There you go, Flametrooper!)

 

3. Ocean's Eleven

 

4. 300 (Not at all close to what I expected. Why people love it so much, I don't know. Only a like for me, and that's only because it has to do with Sparta.)

 

 

 

Probably a few others I'm forgetting.

Huh, you are like 25, right? You were late in cinema!

 

 

 

Anyway, nice titles! although I'm not a fan of the hype titles (Amelie and Eternal Sunshine), but there's enough classics to make up for that. 8-)

Tommy Boy, Independance Day, and Collateral Damge(Arnold FTW!) are my favorite three, in that order.

Oh, I dunno, the Little Mermaid dates from 1989. I was 7 then. Considering how much I hate little brats of 4 or 5 in the cinema (they just can't keep still, can they), I fully understand my mother's decision to introduce me to the silver screen at the tender age of 7 :-).

 

 

 

I thought "Am̮̩̉̉lie" was very cute, but definitely overhyped. But come on, it's such a great feel good movie for dark afternoons! Eternal Sunshine I saw in sneak preview in the cinema before it was hyped - I had no idea what I was in for - and it floored me. I'll admit it was overhyped though...

Pf, I saw Amelie once, when it just got released on DVD, and I enjoyed it. But when I saw it a second time I absolutely hated it. :P Eternal Sunshine is tolerable though. :)

Even Jackie Brown?? That is a pretty poor job from Tarantino.

I didn't mind Jackie Brown personally, although I might be in a minority of one here because everybody seems to hate Jackie Brown.

He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart,

and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.

You'll also find that many of my favourite movies are generally not considered to be the greatest movies.

Donnie Darko

 

Leon: The Professional

 

Oldboy

 

2001: A Space Odyssey

 

Dr. Strangelove

 

Full Metal Jacket

 

Casablanca

 

Metropolis

 

Lola Rennt

 

Star Wars V

 

Star War IV

 

Le SamouraÃÆÃâÃâï

 

Sin City

 

V for Vendetta

 

The Fountain

 

Requiem for a Dream

La Vita ̮̬̉̉ bella

 

Psycho

 

The Lady Vanishes

12 Monkeys

 

Logan's Run

There'd a good 10-15 more that I feel should be in my top 25, but the ones I listed would probably end up being the top 25.
