Apart from Tarantino, probably my least favorite genre.

That scene is ingrained in the mind of anybody who saw Delicatessen.

And how could I forget? Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Being John Malkovich should be on my list too.

another of the need to see again. El Postino love the poetry
and the soundtrack kicks ass

1. The Tree of Life (Outstanding Cinematography)

But sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo boring. Remind me to never watch another movie by Terrance Malick.

I honestly haven't liked anything he's made...


My top 10:

Blade Runner
Terminator 2
Aliens
Memento
In Time
Indiana Jones - Raiders of the Lost Ark
Gattaca
The Men Who Stare at Goats
The Mummy
Sneakers

No particular order. A few of those aren't especially great ... I have trouble coming up with 10. (If you asked me tomorrow, the list would probably be different - except for Gattaca, T2, Blade Runner, and Raiders - those will always make the cut, lol.)

uwww...forgot about: The Motorcyle Diaries, The Sandlot and Memento.

Shortbus!

You should read the book: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? I used to have a first edition that I bought way back in the early 70's... wish I still had it!

Charlie, here is the craziness of your suggestion. I frequent antique and thrift stores about 3-4 times a month. I ended up finding the soft cover 1st edition for five dollars a few years ago and was ecstatic. Didn't know the value at that time either. Had it in the car with me and sure enough, someone stole it!! Instead of taking my cd booklet, head unit or backpack that had a laptop, mp3 player and a bunch of personal items, they STOLE THE BOOK!

So yeah, I definitely was bitter but now I am determined to get a copy and actually read it. I know they released a newer edition that should be in my logical budget so I will have to do that. I'm actually glad you suggested that.
