There are so, so many more though. Love Me Or Leave Me (1954), Superman (1978), Thelma and Louise (1991), Maverick (1994), 500 Days Of Summer (2009) etc etc....

A brilliant film. It's incredible that it is both girls' first film role - great performances!

Yayyy! There are too many brilliant quotes from Bringing Up Baby, I can't pick one to put here! It's on my list along with Double Indemnity.

I love Mildred Pierce too. It's so unusual to have a woman's daugher in the kind of femme fatale role. I'm intrigued by the new mini-series of it with Kate Winslet, she's great. Have you seen any of it yet?

[QUOTE=mylittledemon;961550]
Batman Returns (1992)
The Lord of the Rings (2001-2003)
Back to the Future (1985)
QUOTE]

I still argue for Returns as the best of the 90s Batman films! I meant to put Back To The Future in my list. As for Lord Of The Rings, you get into the very anal issue of can trilogies count as one film? Haha.

Great random choice! That film is completely underrated. Christina Ricci, and everyone else, is superb in it.

1. Unconditional Love
2. 28 Days
3. V For Vendetta
4. Pay It Forward
5. Ginger Snaps
6. Man On The moon

:thumbsup:

Love Galaxy Quest!

Only seen the first Ginger Snaps - are the sequels as good?

LOVE Shaun Of The Dead!

and LOVE LOVE LOVE Galaxy Quest - it was on TV last weekend so I watched it again, so funny!

Going to have to do some deep thinking for my Top 10!

Can we have things like Star Wars - all 6 films counted as one?

:thumbsup:



There's so many I had to leave of my list...

Off the top of my head, in no particular order:

1) All About Eve
2) Casablanca
3) Vertigo
4) Moulin Rouge
5) The Wizard of Oz
6) Sideways
7) The Hours
8) The Last Picture Show
9) City Lights
10) Splendor in the Grass

My list is a little more campy and on the musical side:





The Goonies

Shakespeare In Love

Hedwig and the Angry Inch

Clue

Across the Universe

Hairspray (musical)

Little Shop Of Horrors

Priscilla: Queen of the Desert

Sister Act

Too Wong Foo: Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar

Ooh--should have had that on my list. I say "Fl-flames! On the side of my face!" way too often.

Excellent picks. :nod:

In no particular order-
Fried Green Tomatoes
Big Lebowski
Deliverance
Pink Flamingos
Slingblade
Oh, Brother, where art thou?
Walk The Line
My Cousin Vinny
As Good As It Gets
My Own Private Idaho

I saw this with my Dad in '97 when it came out... right around Christmas I think... we laughed at Jack thru the whole thing ;)

I have a thing for film noir. :)

Before I saw Double Indemnity, the only thing I'd ever seen Fred MacMurray in was that silly TV show My Three Sons. Needless to say, Walter Neff was a very different character from the proto-Mr. Rogers he played on My Three Sons.

I've heard about the new Mildred Pierce, but haven't seen any of it. Have you? I'm a little apprehensive about it...just seems like one of those movies that you really shouldn't mess with (but when has that ever stopped anyone before?).

If we did a list of Top 10 Movies You Most Hate, these two would be on it. :distress:

Requiem is just the most depressing thing I've ever seen, and I hate Galaxy Quest mainly because I can't stand the sight of Tim Allen.

Star Wars: A New Hope
Hairspray (Original)
Videodrome
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Mean Girls
Labyrinth (1986)
The Man Who Fell To Earth
Hot Fuzz
Walk The Line
The Neverending Story

Agreed. I saw it once, and will never watch it again.
