Nicholas Jenkins Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I just have to say that I recently saw "Sunshine" and am quite smitten with it. Don't know if it will survive to land on my "TOP TEN LISTS" but I have to say I'm really enjoying it right now. Some great special features on the DVD too :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Tristan Noelle Posted January 23, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted January 23, 2008 Here's five that come to mind. There's plenty of worthy films that could go on the list, but this is just a sample.  Being There (my definite first)  The Thing (1982)  Barry Lyndon  Pulse (the Kiyoshi Kurosawa one, not the atrocious American remake)  The Searchers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Smith Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Top 5 has to be  1. Gladiator  2. Kingdom of Heaven  3. Saving Private Ryan  4. Black Hawk Down  5. Shawshank Redemption  Yes I know most of them are action/epic films and no that is not the only genre I watch ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Lachman Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Usually favorite films are chosen because someone wants to look like they have good taste or they see something in the films that reflects their interests - mine are the latter.  La Femme Nikita (perfect blend of art, action, and story for me + it's just overall beautiful) Luc Besson French version BTW  MORE - an Academy Award nominated claymation short film about happiness  Fargo - I can't describe what it is about this film that makes it so great  Braveheart - It is just such an inspiring film about scots standing up to the king of england.  I would put one last one but a ton of films are tied for 5th place so nothing here.

Danny Lachman Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I'm sorry but why Delicatessen? I really found that to be one of the most pretentious art films I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Lamb Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Well seeing as I recently compiled my top 10, I guess maybe I could cut it down... Â Here we go... Â 5: The Big Lebowski - Coen Brothers (1998) 4: Ghost World - Terry Zwigoff (2001) 3: He Died with a Felafel in his Hand - Richard Lowenstein (2001) 2: Down By Law - Jim Jarmusch (1986) 1: Royal Tenenbaums - Wes Anderson (2001) Â ...But we all know that's not enough! The only solid slots in there are the top two and depending what day of the week it is the other three could change! (The other three candidates are Spirited Away - Hayao Miyazaki (2001), Pulp Fiction - Quentin Tarantino (1994) and Rushmore - Wes Anderson (1998). Â Wow! I never realised how many movies I love from '01. Basically nearly all of Jarmusch, Wes Anderson, Tarantino, David Lynch and Studio Ghibli, they are all quite good with me. Â Oh 'hi!', by the way. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Holland Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Elliot think you ought to look back a bit more than the ones you have quoted you just dont know what you are missing !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serge Teulon Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I'm sorry but why Delicatessen? I really found that to be one of the most pretentious art films I've ever seen. Â I really didn't see it as a pretentious film. I liked the idea. The acting was good , good storyline, true french feel and I also thought that the cinematography(Darius Kondhji(?)) was brilliant. Â I also would like to add Gandhi to my list....great epic! Â S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
