        My all time favourite:

        One flew over the cuckoo's nest.

        Why? As sad as real life, but a positively heartbreaking end, if something like "positively heartbreaking" exists.
        Amazing actors/actresses.

          Schindler's List
          Just love it. It's good to know that even in the most cruel times good people do exist.

          Don't know if it qualifies for a movie but also love Band of Brothers

            The good the bad and the ugly:

            Best western ever made. Script brilliant, music the best I have ever seen in a movie. Excellent characters, storyline great.

            Comes number 4 on IMDB but I put it at ONE.

              "Lost in Translation".

              Perfectly scripted, directed, scored, and acted. I am a bit of a movie junkie, and have not seen better.

              Second through fifth as follows;

              "Spirited Away"
              "Amelie"
              "Survive Style 5+"
              "Oldboy"

              All works of genius!

                ...a wee bit predictable from me...

                The Hustler [1961]

                Paul Newman as Fast Eddie, awesome. Always thought any kind of cue sports are cool, but this film brought a new meaning to the term 'coolness', and yes, think I may have been a 'pool shark' in a former life [hehe]

                ...and the sequel...

                The Color of Money [1986]

                .......another great performance, and even though 'Fast Eddie' is now middle-aged, and trying to relive his past days of glory through Vincent Lauria, [Tom Cruise], Paul Newman is still 'the man', , who won an Oscar for this role in the best actor category...

                Lol....xx

                    The Third Man is my favourite British film. I wrote an essay on it once. Don't have a favourite Hollywood film, though Cool Hand Luke, Taxi Driver and Rain Man take some beating. I also like the Hustler for obvious reasons. Selby and Drago for the remake

                      Don't Look Now (1973)

                      Julie Christie, Donald Sutherland, Venice, a serial killer, a psychic, messages from beyond the grave, a famous sex scene...one of the most bewitching films ever made. It came in at number 8 on the the BFI list of the top 100 British films of all time.

                          The Last of The Mohicans - simply perfect. Classic story with perfect cast, music and filming. Watched it many times and there are moments I'd swear I'm in the film and I feel what the characters are feeling - you can't get better than that.

                            Some good, varied choices so far. Appreciating the mentions of The Good, The Bad..., The Third Man and Don't Look Now.

                            Once Upon a Time in the West is mine. Cinema in its purest form. From the incredible opening scene it's storytelling, vision and soundtrack combine to produce a sensory experience that no other film has quite equalled in my opinion.

                            Rear Window runs it close.

                              I have quite a few...I liked Crash, The Terminal, Back to the future and Matrix.

                              Loved Crash! Awesome acting by Tom Hanks in Terminal. Entertaining trilogy, Back to the future and The Matrix...from the day I watched this Keanu became on of my favourite actors and excellent action!
