A bit like most religions really.

1. Memento
2. Kill Bill (i & ii)
3. O Brother where art thou
4. Traffic
5. The Man who wasn't there
Ask me tomorrow and it'll be different
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.
In no particular order:
Spirited Away
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
X-Men 2
Lost In Translation
21 Grams
I've gone away and thought about this Eoin and here's my 5Quote:

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...
Foreign list:
Amores Perros
Mullet
Life is Beautiful
Il Postino
The Castle
Decent movie review site: http://www.allmovie.com/
Zoolander
Shrek
Lord of the rings Trilogy (best #2)
Gangs of New York
Gladiator (or was it late 90's?)
Seen Magnolia last week & a bit disappointed as been recommended to me. Any thoughts...
Great Film IMO.Quote:

One of the most interesting openings I've seen to a film, and one of the more surreal endings. Brilliantly put together and directed with an absolutely cracking soundtrack of Aimee Mann and Supertramp.
To be honest, i would have recommended it to you too.
Saw "The Terminal" last weekend. Very disappointed in it! Anybody else see it?
hmm, top 5 films of the 00's, well i dunno about a top 5 but heres a few in no order:
The village: i kno everyone slated it, but clearly thsoe ppl didnt get it, it isnt SUPPOSED to be a scary hroor movie, its supoosed to play with ur preconceptions of what the film is about. i loved it, shymilan is brilliant.
momento: very original storytelling approach, very good movie.
kill bill vol 1: fantastic movie, will always be marred by dreadful second volume.
erm, will think of more later on.
yeah, hes good all right. i love those kind of left of centre films.Quote:

tis true, terry gilliam is a genius, aside from the crazy animations he did for the python stuff, 12 monkeys was an odd ****ed up movie, so was brazil. genius nonetheless though.
Saw City of God the other week on FilmFour & bloddy great movie. One of best movies seen in a while hollywood or "foreign".
Niether have I yet, but I picked it up in Golden Discs for €5, so we'll see...Quote:

saw 'Man on Fire' the other night, and while it wouldn't probably make my top 5, it was a super movie....Denzel Washington like you've never seen him before.
