I didn't read every response, so forgive me if I'm duplicating -

Delicatessen - unquestionably my favorite movie about cannibalism. Hilarious French black comedy.

Blood Simple - The Coens first film - just a straight up brilliant piece of noir. Creepy, amazing acting and suspenseful.

A Simple Plan - Sam Raimi at his best - a morally ambiguous film with great performances...and themes you can relate to.

Stalingrad - the better ww2 film, but Das Boot gets all the attention.

The Hard Word - a very well done, stylish, heist film. I do love a good heist film.

Dark City - simply put, one of the most amazing visual films I've seen...great themes, great ending

Jacob's Ladder - he saw dead people before 6th Sense. An intense, well done film.

Miller's Crossing...another brilliant Coen film...awesome dialogue.

Once Upon a Time in America - the only gangster film that compares to Godfathers 1 and 2.

Employee of the Month - the one with Matt Dillon and Jenna Fischer - another very funny black comedy.

2LDK - brilliant Japanese comedy about warring roomates.

Please watch it.
Such a good movie. If you haven't seen it, really do check it out. The visuals and music are amazing!!

I prefer "The Sea Hawk" to "Against All Flags." He looked old and tired in the latter.

OMG! I thought about mentioning that one but distinguished between "best" and "movies I really enjoyed watching multiple times."

[QUOTE=William]Those are good, but I like fight scenes done without wires. Last fight is the best in this sequence from Ong Bak...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzlQL...eature=related

Watch in Full Screen mode.

A comment from the peanut gallery : The last guy is clearly a master in the Object Throwing technique of the Angry Wife style.

I almost pissed myself laughing...

Great fight sequence too!

Yeah, 'Y Tu Mama Tambien' is a great film. 'Amores Perros' is right up there too.

Friends of Eddie Coyle -- Fantastic 1970's Boston crime pic, Robert Mitchum is great.

The Way of the Gun -- either you're hooked in the first five minutes, or you're not. Still one of James Caan's best performances in my mind.

Lots of good ones here
but also some that i would not associate with "best", but it is all subjective. But I'd like to add:
Old: 1) witness for the prosecution
2)freaks
Newer: 1) The professional (french version)
2) spring summer fall winter (korean)

Great beginning to that movie...is it wrong that I have felt that way before?

Depends. Are you Sarah Silverman screaming at the guys to get off the car, or Benecio del Toro and Ryan Phillipe looking to get into a fight?

Can't believe Strange Brew has not been mentioned... slapstick comedy, but fun movie. Cult movie in its day... I am certain most of the younger crowd have not seen it.

Slapshot - another classic that many of the younger generation has never heard about much less seen...

Breaking Away... in any other crowd would be an unknown movie. Obviously a 'known' movie here....


+1 on the professional.
