Interesting list of films!

Concord-
I couldn't recognize most of your list, but I loved 12 Monkeys! I am looking for a copy of Le Femme Nikita I was told its a good movie.

^ian^-
Take of Spider-man and you'll get my second top favourite films list.

Deniz-
Great list! I find the City of Angels, Braveheart, Green Mile and Closer some of the best movies ever, but I wonder how did Lord of War, The Butterfly Effect find their way to your list?



I am going to try and watch the films I missed from your list, I might have to change mine later.
OH, and I wanted to add Fight Club and Lost in Translation to my list.

Hi Lexer, did u watch "Lord of War" ? Actually this movie s my first favorite. Because of its message. i think people must watch this movie many times. It s painful reality. Watch the first bullet carefully.where it s born and where its end. The real arms dealer s not Yuri (Nicolas Cage) watch again and try to find out it

It s ironic and intelligent film.My hat goes off for this movie.

Anyone that doesn't rate Spider-Man just doesn't get it.

Hey mate,

I never said that I don't rate Spider-Man, I am a fan of the Movie, comic and the old cartoon show too. What I meant to say that I am a fan of starwars, fight club... too, and those films just are on a different level of "greatness"!

Deniz,
I did watch the film, and it is a "touching" film indeed, but I just don't think of it as a perfect movie in terms of production, acting... there are better films and some are in your list.

I think all the movies on the lists are very good except "Lost In Translation" I thought it was crap!

Lexer you have not seen "Shallow Grave"? (great movie).

I have not seen "Sin City" yet. Meaning to but...
