Out of Sight is just a little bit better than The Thin Red Line.

A lot of these films made me laugh, few of them intentionally.

It's close with Out of Sight, but I have to go with my boy Moodysson.

I haven't seen A Thin Red Line yet, so I'll probably vote for something that's not too great but I really enjoy.

EDIT: I voted for Rounders.

I love Rushmore, but The Truman Show is just so damn good.

yeah, some seriously ridiculous options: Sliding Doors?

But I wish the public could, in the midst of its pleasures, see how blatantly it is being spoon-fed, and ask for slightly better dreams.
