You can post as long a list as you want, and here is as good a place as any.  I have to warn you though, if your list includes any Michael Bay films, we will ban you and blacklist your IP. 

Oh, don't worry. There will absolutely be no Michael Bay movies in any of my lists.

Any Strangelove love? I think ACO is a fantastic film, but always been of the mind that Strangelove is the best film ever made (though I get closer and closer to putting it at number two each and every day).

Its a good list Leto, the standouts being Downfall, Dawn of the Dead, and Raise the Red Lantern.  I love those three, and Lantern doesn't get the love it deserves around here.
I’ve lied to men who wear belts. I’ve lied to men who wear suspenders. But I’d never be so stupid as to lie to a man who wears both a belt and suspenders.

Woudl that be the 2004 Dawn of the Dead?
They shouldn't have called it "Dawn of the Dead" though, it's an above average zombie movie that could have stood on it's own... and Sarah Polley is awesome.
Wow, yeah. You just said everything right.

Welcome to the boards. Please stay! ;)

10- Jean de Florette/ Manon des Sources

See, I like Jean De Florette, but Manon Des Sources...ugh. Not good at all.


Why didn't you like Manon des Sources? I see both movies as one, like Kill Bill or the Lord of the Rings. I can't imagine one without the other. The "payoff" for everything that happens to Jean de Florette is in Manon des Sources.

Actually, I'll admit that I haven't seen all of Jean De Florette, but what I've seen I've liked. But the extra storyline of Manon isn't part of the first, in fact it feels incredibly forced. There was no tradgedy to it, the sense of tragic losss we were supposed to feel for the younger farmer was lost because he is one of the worst characters ever. He is so blindly in love is stupfying, he is just insane and insanely unlikeable. None of the characters re interesting, in fact most of them pissed me off.
I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.

I disagree with some of your choices Night, but I love seeing Glengarry Glen Ross and Memories of Murder so high up.

Heat and Amadeus are my favorite I-don't-gettums.
