[David]

The Scarlet EmpressIt's funny you put that one on because I was going to put it on my list, too -- that or "Morocco." You're reading my mind! I decided not to put that one on my list because I didn't want to knock anything else off, & I hate it when people ask for TEN & some bozo gives them ELEVEN. :mad:

[strandinthewind]

Trainspotting . . . .

Easily one of the better films of this age. Disturbing as hel though.

I have too many to list, but some are Sunset Blvd., Gone With the Wind, Cavalcade, all of the fairly recent Jane Austin flicks, Age of Innocence (just beautiful) and so on.

[petep9000]

& I hate it when people ask for TEN & some bozo gives them ELEVEN. :mad:

[AliceLover]

[dnightshade]

Another difficult question but here goes:

Gone With The Wind
Rear Window
Gothic
The Company of Wolves
Moby Dick (Gregory Peck version)
Thelma & Louise

[Stew_Matthews]

The Pianist (My all time favourite)

And then in no particular order –

The Shining
Chinatown
As good as it gets
Dogville
The Unforgiven
The French Connection
The Italian Job (original)
Apocalypse Now
Blade Runner

At this point I’d start listing Woody Allen films starting with ‘Bullets over Broadway’ but I don’t want to upset David by listing more than 10.

[David]

I'd also like to ask David's opinion on Max Ophuls' 1948 film Letter From An Unknown Woman.Pretty good!

"Madame de ..." is one of my favorite movies. If we had done a Top 20, I'd stick that on there somewhere.

Also, I have been to the Grass Valley house of Lola Montez. It's on Mill Street in downtown Grass Valley. It's a museum & worth seeing!

Max's son Marcel created one of the great documentaries of our time -- The Sorrow & the Pity. Romy admires that film, too. Where is Romy?

[bucklind17]

Overall, and based on enjoyment level as much as quality and clearly I am no film buff:

1. GoodFellas
2. Field of Dreams
3. Apollo 13
4. Ocean's Eleven (remake)
5. Independence Day
6. The Myth of Fingerprints
7. Empire Records
8. Twister
9. Juno
10. Saturday Night Fever

Max's son Marcel created one of the great documentaries of our time -- The Sorrow & the Pity.

Wise words, I agree, but I also think that one likes a movie according the moment and the age. That's why I included Grease or Titanic. MAybe today I have other favorites, but I tried to list the movies that I wanted to see lot of times at that moment, plus the movies I will always love, like Priscilla or Moonstruck.

[Serrart]

Superb list, Romy. Seeing it makes me feel stupid for not having an Ozu on mine.

But you had Renoir and Tarkovsky and Griffith. A pretty powerful trio among the others. ;)

[trackaghost]

What's wrong with Ghostbusters? It has a great, wisecracking script, perfect casting and lively pace. It's an 80s classic.
Wow. How snobby.
