Serious: Y Tu Mama Tambien; The Edukators; Matrix
Fun: The Princess Bride; V for Vendetta; A Fish Called Wanda
So glad someone Picked up on The Princess Bride - Have you read the novelised version as well?
otherwise
1.brighton rock
2.play it again sam.
3.Aguirre the wrath of god.
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.
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)
