We have a few music threads but none on films that I can find, so I was just wondering what you guys like to watch. What's your top 10?*

Some of my favourites are:

Sweeney Todd
Interview With The Vampire
Sleepy Hollow
Laputa (aka Castle in the Sky)
Nausicaa of The Valley Of The Wind
The Corpse Bride (are you sensing a Burton/Depp theme here? lol)
Memoirs of a Geisha
Kill Bill
Ginger Snaps
Labyrinth
Monty Python's Life of Brian
Alien (Ripley rocks!)

* top 17's, 4's or 43's also welcome! :wink:

hmm, I'm almost certainly going to forget some, but here are a few of my favourites that spring to mind:

-Apocalypse Now (possibly my all time favourite- about the most epic film I've ever seen)
-Magnolia
-Boogie Nights (PT Anderson is a don)
-Assault on precinct 13 (JOHN CARPENTER VERSION: stilted script, questionable acting but deeply ethereal)
-Taxi driver (bobby D at his best)
-The garden state (IMO somewhat overlooked/underrated as far as its full artistic depth is concerned)
-Forrest Gump (possibly the only film to have actually made me cry- that goddamn feather on the breeze...)
-City of God -the only film that, as soon as I finished watching, I watched again
-Pulp Fiction
-Terminator 2 (will never age)
-Chinatown
-Good Will Hunting (amazing screenplay, acting and soundtrack- RIP elliott smith)
-Requiem for a dream
-Bladerunner (see signature quote)

I just saw Pulp Fiction last night for the first time in ages - love that scene at the end where Samual J and Travolta stick their guns in the waistbands of their geeky shorts! :lol: I also love the way Tarantino plays with timelines so his films are never linear and boring.

Wow, The Breakfast Club brings back memories :) Gotta love the "dandruff snow" lol! Yay for all the Burton on your list - I can't believe I forgot Nightmare Before Christmas! Love Sin City too - it's so dark and stylish.

Hehe, me too :D Everyone's lists are reminding me of films I haven't seen in a while and now I'm dying to watch them again! Jackie Brown's another great Tarantino film - he has a knack of making me enjoy films I normally wouldn't go near. I'm more into fairytales and horror than guns n gangsters, but for some reason I really like Tarantino films! Maybe it's because they're always presented like a classic story, and not a "slice of reality" or something... Lol, and what can I say about Spinal Tap? "But this one goes to 11!" *wets knickers*

That's an awesome film. It has one of the few plot twists that actually managed to shock me - usually they can be seen coming a mile off :roll:

Shrek is the perfect anti-Disney film, I love it! I grew up on Disney and as much as I loved watching The Little Mermaid and Sleeping Beauty etc, there's something really satisfying about seeing all of that schmaltz and all the stereotypes blown to bits by Shrek :twisted:
