I love loads but... The Big Lebowski
Jeff Bridges is one of the greatest classic personalities of all time and a great actor
Coen Brothers make films like no other, better than Tarantino
And the film is just so entertaining, hilarious, touching and bizarre |

The Dark Knight
I really liked the plot, special effects, humour etc. but what makes it special for me was Heath Ledger's Joker.
The Usual Suspects
Again liked a lot of things about it, but what makes it special for me is the twist at the end.
Star Wars Episode Three
I love all the Star Wars films -except Phantom Menace which I think is 'ok'- But for me episode three is the best of them.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Really funny film with an incredible number of 'quotable catchphrases'. |

"Nil by mouth ...ray Winston Cathy burke ...  "
I cannot watch that film. It reminds me too much of my childhood and drags up all sorts of shit. 2 great actors though |

Pulp Fiction
Bad Education (spanish)
A Prophet (french)
Romanzo Criminale (italian)
Some Like it Hot
Sunset Boulevard
The life of David Gale
The Apartment
Downfall (german)
Black Book (dutch/german)
Female Agents (french)
Gomorrah (italian)
Pleasantville
Black Dynamite
Crash
The Reader
American Psycho

One flew over the Cuckoos nest

One that most people seem to have never heard of, either cos it's German or because it's 16 hours long.
"Heimat" (Home, in German) a fictional story of a family living the real area along the Moselle called the Hunsruck, from 1919 to 1984. There have also been two sequels, also of 16+ hours in length..
Watched it at the NFT in 1985 - in ONE sitting! - and was captivated by it.
And it's the film from which Speilberg nicked the idea of the little girl in the red coat in Schindler's List too.... |

"Aren't City of Angels and Wings of Desire basically the same film ?
Same as with The Birdcage and La Cage aux Folles ?"
Yes, they've both got the same plot, but I prefer the latter as it's shot in black and white, which I think gives it a nice atmosphere.
If you're a Columbo fan, you'd like Peter Falk's character in Wings of Desire |

I have seen City of Angels, but own Wings of Desire on DVD as it is by far the superior of the two - and yes, the b&w does lend a major hand in that  |
