Barflies - I'd swear I know everyone in it. Interiors - Woody Allen at his darkest. The Magic Christian - Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr, how can you go wrong? Diehard - just for fun...:-D "If it's Snowbird season, why can't we shoot them?" - Overheard in a bar in Bullhead City

The Shawshank Redemption Major League The Ring The Usual Suspects "One of the Georges," said Psmith, "I forget which, once said that a certain number of hours' sleep a day--I cannot recall for the moment how many--made a man something, which for the time being has slipped my memory."

If you thought Dark City was better than The Matrix, then you need to see 'The Thirteenth Floor' which is ALSO better than The Matrix as for a storyline and a twist.

Haven't seen the 1st two movies... Leon = Seen it twice, and I don't get what all the fuss is about, so I'm in the minority here based on it's imdb rating. Blues Bros. = great comedy with great music. I've had my favorites posted for ages in my signature, so I'll use films outside of that list. [Action] 1) T2 2) The Killer - (similar idea to Leon [hitman with heart of gold/female in distress/policeman triangle], acting not as good, but better action, music and story) [Adventure/Fun] 1) Empire/Star Wars 2) Back to the Future 3) Raiders [Comedy] 1) Planes, Trains & Autos 2) Arsenic and Old Lace [Crime/Pulp] 1) Memento 2) Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia - a bizarre and pulpy tale of a mexican crime lord, a scummy piano player, his prostitute girlfriend, gay hitmen and a severed head. Way ahead of its time. 3) The Asphalt Jungle [Documentaries] 1) Spellbound - tracks a bunch of kids and their families as they lead up to the National Spelling Bee 2) Fog of War - McNamara teaches us what he learned from being involved in WWII and the Vietnam War. Watch this one over 9/11. [Drama] 1) Godfather I & II 2) Citzen Kane 3) Taxi Driver 4) The Lost Weekend 5) Shawshank 6) Dog Day Afternoon [Foreign] 1) Rashomon 2) Yojimbo 3) Crouching Tiger [Horror] 1) Dawn of the Dead (original) 2) Night of the Living Dead 3) The Exorcist 4) Freaks 5) 28 Days Later (one of the best horrors in decades imho) [Sci-Fi] 1) Blade Runner 2) Day the Earth Stood Still [Thriller] 1) North x Northwest 2) Jaws [War] 1) Bridge on the River Kwai 2) The Great Escape [Western] 1) Good/Bad/Ugly 2) Ox-Bow Incident - Not a traditional western, it's almost like a 12 Angry Men-in-the-west type thing, only the outcome is horrendous. Oh well, there goes my lunch time...

Also better than the Matrix and a kind of instant cult is Equilibrium.
Nope - that movie looked like a Matrix rip-off. ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'.

Got to go with Leon as well Amelie - loved that film Naked Gun (the first one) - I'm sorry, I enjoy stupid films! Ice Cold In Alex (sp?) Kind Hearts and Coronets - saw it as a youngish child, enjoyed it since then. Stuart Dootson 'Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p'
