The fact that no one has any idea what's going on.
We must therefore assume that it's good because we're not intelligent enough to understand it.
A bit like most religions really.

Quills!!!!!!!!
I forgot to say Quills !!!!!!!!!!!! and any other movie wherein Kate Winslet whips out those magnificent baps of hers. ...except Titanic which is atrocious and besides the point as it's 90's anyway

1)
Kill Bill 1&2.
2)
Amelie
3)
Lost in translation
4)
Donnie Darko
5)
Attack of the Clones.- Yes, yes, yes, it's a terrible film, but it does feature Yoda with a lightsabre, and quite frankly that's enough to swing it for me every-single-time. Criteria of good film? Has it got Yoda kickin' butt. Y or N.
6)
Spiderman. For obvious reasons.

What?
You're seriously missing out, especially on American History X, and Fight Club.
Hard hitting stuff!

Circus is a British movie with Brian Conley, John Hannah, Famke Janssen and Eddie Izzard. I enjoyed it anyway.

Very Bad Things is one of those keep digging yourself into a bigger hole movies. Cameron Diaz, Christian Slater, Jeremy Piven and Jon Favreau among others. Cameron is such a psycho in it she's unreal!

John Q with Denzel Washington, Robert Duvall and James Woods is a bit of a tear jerker about a father trying to get urgent medical attention for his son but his insurance doesn't cover it.

Only good enouygh movies mentioned so far for 2000+ be

Memento & O Brother where art thou (gets better each time i watch). Crouching Tiget good too but not when watch numerous times.

Donnie Darko most over-rated movie. I like strange stuff but usually like to have some idea what happening...
