[beau2ifulday]

The Pianist
Good Bye Lenin
Monster's Ball
Alice in Wonderland
Wings of Desire

 

[Daveone]

LOST IN TRANSLATION - im not afraid to admit a weep like a babe everytime I see this - the sign Roy of a true man ;-) lol

THE INSIDER - to be honest 70% of Pacinos work could take this spot although everything about this particular film is incredible, from the soundtrack to the cinematography, amazing.

JAWS - simply because no matter how many times I see it it still entertains me more than any other film, and Roy Schnieder should of been a much bigger star than he was, definately one of the best actors of the 70s.

APOCOLYPSE NOW - Just artistically stunning

BADLANDS - Poetic and sparse, Terence Malick should helm On The Road if they HAVE to make it (but please leave it alone!!!!!!!)

Special Mentions:
Planes, Trains and Automobiles
Amore Perres
Toy Story 2
One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest
Requiem for a Dream
The Man Who Wasnt There
Edward Scissorhands

[Earnie Shavers]

This is without a doubt the most beautifully shot film of all time. It's absolutely gorgeous to look at.

 

[The Sad Punk]

My favourite animated films, not including Fritz the Cat as I'm not so much impressed with the animation as I am the style, comic and giganticism of it all. This is just kids stuff, to an extent anyway. Again, not really an all time favourite thing, just currently.

The Lion King
Grave of the Fireflies
Porco Rosso
Russian Rhapsody (it may be only seven minutes long, but it's still as disturbing and interesting as any cartoon should be)
Beauty and the Beast/Alice in Wonderland


I never really liked CGi and although I worked in a claymation studio for a little while, that still doesn't appeal to me much either. It's all about the cels.

 

[reptile]

I hate doing this! ( i love it to) its impossible....

ermmmmmm

To kill a mocking bird (perfect)
Its a wonderfull life (anything with jimmy stewart)
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind (JIm&Kate spot-on!)
Fisherking (Terry Gilliam/Robin Williams, what can i say....)
Lord of Rings Troliogy ( Books come to life!)

Ask me again in five minutes and it could all change.....
