2001: A Space Odyssey

Zzzzzzzzz...... after 20 minutes.
I do not remember when it was. I would try it again as I like Stanley Kubrick's.

Most impressive one was CITIZEN KANE. I bought it (DVD) recently.

Shawshank Redemption

[Peter Daniel]

I second "Shawshank Redemption" as well.

"Trainspotting" was one of my favourites too. It gave the beginning to all those crazy british movies like "Snatch", "Lockstock and two smoking barrels", "Meanmachine" and recently "Formula 51"; really good humor.😎

 

[kingdaddy]

I almost forgot my favorite director; Terry Giliam

12 Monkeys
Brazil
Eric the Viking

All strangly entertaining and witty.

 

[moe29]

after viewing 12 Monkeys i'm convenced that Bradd Pitt
is a whacko! He pulls those parts off a little too convencingly!

(must of been how he got that Jennifer girl)

Last House on the Left
Shawshank Redemption
City of Lost Children
Hudsucker Proxy
Pi
Requiem for a Dream

 

[moe29]

"Requiem for a Dream"

a good movie, but one of those movies
you only want to watch 1 time... very disturbing.

Pi was way cool too!

Aronofsky should be on my director list too!

Jennifer Connelly! beautiful and can act too 😉

girls named Jennifer = HOT, i see a trend here...

What, no Monty Python?

Life of Brian is a classic, not to mention The Holy Grail.

Shrek - the best kids film for adults!
