@auzatmagne Great list! After all these years and being such a cinephile as I am, I am chagrined to say that I still have not seen "Les Enfants de Paradis." I will have to rectify that SOON!

I will post my list, however, i don't have all my movies burned to my computer. fun editing.

[billysscreeningroom2]

@gartwilliams16 Thanks, Gart. I'd like to see your list!

Casablanca; The Searchers; Ben-Hur; The Seven Samurai; Psycho (1960); The Maltese Falcon; The Great Dictator; Chinatown; Godfather Part I & II (I count them as one long story); The Silence of the Lambs; The Great Escape.

@mmc78 Good list. Even GREAT list. Thanks for commenting!

Magical Mystery Tour is another one. It's 70 minutes and looks like fluff the first time you watch it but there's alot going on that isn't obvious.

Love too many movies...can't narrow them down to a list of 25...but some of my top all time favorites include Harold and Maude, Fight Club, American Beauty, Nashville, It's A Wonderful Life, O Brother Where Art Thou, Paper Moon, Made In USA (Godard), Help (The Beatles). I like movies that try unusual things or are so detailed that you have to watch them more than once to get the full meaning of what is being said.

The ending is brilliant! I love it.

My favorite movie: Bayside Shakedown 2. 踊る大捜査線 THE MOVIE 2. It's a Japanese movie based on a tv show, the second sequel in a series. It's not a "great" movie. It'll never be a classic.  But I like it.

I like it because it's an unusual combination of drama and humor, and I found myself unable to predict how it would turn it.
