Your favourite movies

    I recently started watching movies that was made before my birth or movies that i´ve simply missed. To help me with my quest for great movies i want you all to write your favourites. (Atleast the ones you can come up with at the moment, i realize there are many favourite movies).

    As an example, here´s a list:

    1 - Fletch - Starring Chevy Chase, a movie i did not see until recently, and i must say i LOVE 80´s comedy movies.

    2 - American History X - Saw it 2 years after release, never heard of it and i was amazed how i could have missed it.

    3 - From Dusk Til Dawn - Knew nothing about it, my parents rented it and when the movie turns to a friggin slaughterfest i´m like "FUCK YEAH!" Totally suprised by the twist.

    4 - Equilibrium - Simply great.

    So what do you got?

    It's more of a documentary but check out The Pervert's Guide to Cinema. It's 2 hours and 21 minutes of Slavoj Zizek applying Philosophy/Psychoanalysis to a bunch of movies from obscure to hollywood.

    Here's the list:

    I would only recommend it if you've watched at least half the movies there or enjoy overthinking a plate of beans. He comes to some pretty outrageous conclusions that even if you don't agree with will probably make you think. It helps that his critical attitude is more of curiosity than arrogance.

    ":3k59bquw]You prefer Predator2 to 1? I lost all respect I had for you D3.

    Danny Glover is the man! He has more of a personality than Arnie had in the first one. I like them both a lot but the second clenches it for me. The film also has Gary Busey in it, who is awesome

    Here's a rather long, random bunch that spring to mind. I tend to find world cinema more interesting than UK/US, so it's rather weighted, though in truth I enjoy English movies just as much. They just tend to be less memorable for me, and so less likely to come to mind when thinking of movies I really love.

    The Fall

    Pan's Labyrinth

    Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

    The Warrior (Musa: The Warrior in some places)

    Sunshine

    Brick

    Tekkonkinkreet

    LOTR Trilogy

    Infernal Affairs

    Heat

    Gattaca

    Tale of Two Sisters

    The City of Lost Children

    Fast and Furious movies (yeah, absolute guilty pleasure!)

    Battle Royale

    Sinbad movies (another guilty pleasure)

    Ping Pong

    Versus

    The Usual Suspects

    Goemon

    Oldboy

    Dark City

    Taxi (French series, not the US remake)

    Brotherhood of the Wolf
