    So glad someone Picked up on The Princess Bride - Have you read the novelised version as well?

    otherwise

    Aguirre is definitely up there for me - have you seen any more of the Herzog/Kinski collection? My personal favorites are 'Fitzcarraldo' and 'My Best Fiend'; such an incredible partnership, the ending with Kinski and the butterfly crushed me.

    Der Himmel über Berlin

    This film blew me away about four years ago and I've been too scared to watch it again since.

    I'm sorry for such a long list - it doesn't credit these titles with the individuality needed to modestly name that which such deserved recognition demands. Nevertheless, the peak of my boundless love for film:

    Hobson's Choice (David Lean amazed me)
    12 Angry Men (This belongs in a list on it's own)
    Angel-A (Epic)
    Frida Kahlo
    Vertigo
    Fitzcarraldo
    Wings of Desire
    Mr. Smith goes to Washington (the unwatched shadow of It's a Wonderful Life)
    Amores perros
    The Enigma of Kasper Hauser
    Wild Strawberries
    The Seventh Seal (infact, any Bergman - He's a fucking hero)
    La vita e bella
    Cinema Paradiso
    Fanny och Alexander
    The 400 Blows
    Jules et Jim
    Into The Wild
    Battle Royale
    Rurouni kenshin OVA
    any Studio Ghibli
    Some Like it Hot
    Y tu mama tambien
    Ocean's Eleven (The rat pack original)
    Paris Je T'aime
    Secret Window (arguable Johnny Depp's best film under the guidance of Stephen King)
    Thicker Than Water
    The Squid and the Whale
    The Believer (Gosling at his best)
    Ask The Dust (Pretty terrible film but you get to openly admire Salma Hayeks breasticles in the fine ocean scene)
    Living In Obivion (Please tell me someone else loves this)
    Buffalo 66
    The Diving Bell and Butterfly
    Vanilla Sky
    Dreams, The Bad Sleep Well, Ran and Seven Samurai (top of my Kurosawa list films)
    Le Grand Bleu
    One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (idolised Nicholson in this for so long)
    Mon Oncle (My love for Jacques Tati begun when I saw this)
