In no particular order:
Casablanca (1942) Since so many films borrow from it, its like 10 movies.
Pulp Fiction (1994) Love this film - never tire of it
Schindler's List (1993) Most beautiful and horrible film ever made
American Beauty (1999) This would make me feel like I could survive
Out of Sight (1998) My favorite romantic / action film - great Clooney-JLo chemistry
The Sixth Sense (1999) Would love to pick out every little clue available
Desperado (1995) Great action film, Salma Hayek and the director commentary would almost make the list on its own
Fight Club (1999) Another great film to pick apart upon several viewings
Amadeus (1984) The music is fantastic, the story is brilliant - good change of pace movie
Barcelona (1994) Could be Metropolitan too - but need an endless supply of witty dialogue - this is it.
Really I'd like to put a few more on the list and if you asked me a month from now likely half of these might change - but this is the best I can come up with for now. |

I think he's already using the mentality of that film because he's got 12 = 1+2 = 3.  |

What's he got against Three Days Of The Condor?
I don't have to ask why he didn't pick Three Amigos!

I'll try not to be too predictable. Here goes.
It's a Wonderful Life - uplifting and heartwarming
 Alien - the first and the best
Back to the Future - a perfectly constructed movie
 Y Tu Mama Tambien - exotic and sexy
 A Streetcar Named Desire - I'd like to see it again, 30 years on
 Pulp Fiction - great script, Samuel L Jackson
South Pacific (1958 version) - I'd learn all the songs
Walk the Line - ditto, Reese Witherspoon
 Choses Secretes - a man gets kinda lonely
 One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - unbearable tension, exquisitely comic moments

Ooo this is so hard [as the actress said to the bishop]
In no particular order:
* Ivan the Terrible, parts I and II - I'm counting this as ONE film so there!
* La Grande Illusion
* Mars Attacks! - always makes me laugh out loud.
* Streetcar Named Desire - Brando's just SO hot and the source material so great.
* South Park, the Movie - 'cause I'm that kind of girl.
* Platinum Blonde - some of the wittiest dialogue ever to grace the silver screen and performances which never age.
* Pierrot Le Fou - arguably Godard's greatest from his great period.
* 2001, A Space Odyssey - a masterpiece from the master.
* Mean Streets - to remind me of my salad days.
* Kagemusha - one of Kurosawa's finest.

I've even described them as "desert island" movies in this accolade, but they are:
2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY
BUTCH CASSIDY & THE SUNDANCE KID
CASABLANCA
CITIZEN KANE
THE GODFATHER*
THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY*
THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING*
M*A*S*H
PATTON
PSYCHO
*--These represent series, all of which I recommend highly, but you
asked for specific movies, and these are my favorites among those series. |
