Who knows wich movie is unanimity in the lists?

Quoted from AmericanSyCo Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn, Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back,

I like how you pick and choose, as opposed to going with the whole series.  I agree with all three selections that you have plucked from the larger wholes.

Hei Bert take a look at my avatar, now if you need something just tell me okay?

Quoted from Breanne Mattson 9) Metropolis - This 1927 film by the German Fritz Lang has some of the most innovative and amazing special effects for the time. With the exception of a not so good Brigitte Helm performance, this is one of the most influential sci-fi films of all time.

Yay! Another Fritz Lang fan. We're a dying breed. I love Metropolis but I reckon 'M' is his best movie.

Everyone I speak to seems to hate the Mabuse series, but I love it. Mabuse is without doubt the scariest movie character ever.

No special order, except for Numero Uno.


1.) Marty
2.) Saturday Night Fever
3.) Papillon
4.) Midnight Cowboy
5.) Clockwork Orange
6.) It Happened One Night
7.) Robin & the 7 Hoods
8.) Reservoir Dogs
9.) Pulp Fiction
10.) Escape From New York

Quoted from Helio ...if you need something just tell me okay?

Why is everybody's Avatar so creepy now?  I'll PM you my "to curse" list...you might even recognize a few names.  (I'm joking, Helio)

Quoted from Dr. Mabuse Mabuse is without doubt the scariest movie character ever.

So that's a real guy?  I tought it was something you made up.  I'll have to look that up.

Yeah, he's real, but he's not to everyone's taste. Der Spieler is my favourite of the series. Here are some comments from IMDB:

"Overrated and insufferably tedious"
"this turgid piece of molasses is not worth seeing"

Quoted from AmericanSyCo Ravenous

I completely forgot about this movie! I owned it years ago and watched it so much that the DVD was scratched to the point that it was unwatchable. Had I remembered this, it would've certainly made my top five. It's such an original film and works on so many levels. The performances are great (especially Robert Carlyle), the story's great, there're some cool gore scenes, some funny scenes, some funny/gore scenes, and some weird philosophical stuff (when Robert Carlyle's talking about Manifest Destiny). I really feel bad about forgetting it but then again, I haven't seen it in years.

okay here is my top 10 i guess (no particular order)

-Dead Man's Shoes
Movie from england that i dont think many have seen but it's filmed so well and the acting is superb
-Pulp Fiction
No explanation needed
-Unbreakable
I just think the attention to detail and the way it contains all the little comic book touches is cool
-Memento
One of the most unique movies in a while although some people still insist it's a gimmick
-The Good The Bad And The Ugly
I don't think I need to explain this one, if you've seen it you'll know and I'm sure most of you have
-Double Indemnity
I love the plot and the dialogue for this movie, I hope they don't ruin it with a hollywood remake
-Shawshank Redemption
Again, no explanation needed
-Goodfella's
Same as above
-Signs
Despite all the logic holes that people bring up about this movie it still ranks as one of my favorites of all time. M. Night is one of the best directors out there at the minute and he always get the highest quality acting from those working for him.
-American Beauty
I don't really know why I like this but I just do

Quoted from Shelton 9.) Papillon

I love you.

I love love love this movie, dammit!

Quoted from tomson Bert, If you think mine is creepy, it's only because you think I look like your Aunt.

I think it's because it's only a floating head.  



Andy,

You can't go wrong with Papillon.  Classic

Quoted from Shelton I think it's because it's only a floating head.

I'm afraid Mike's right, tomson. Disembodied head suspended in darkness = creepy.

Don't know about anyone else's avatar being creepy (except for dogglebe and his cuddly cyclops kitty *shudders*).

Quoted from James McClung Disembodied head suspended in darkness = creepy.

Come on, people! It's obviously Holly from Red Dwarf. Nothing creepy about that.
