KMC's Top 10 Favorite Movies

God damn it, you guys already got Lady Vengeance over there in the UK? Lucky bastard, I'm dying to see that. Lord only knows when it will be readily available here in the US.

It's out in cinemas here in the UK, but it's out on DVD in Asian countries, I got myself the lovely 2 disc Korean edition, beautiful edition that's worth getting if you can, Japanese ones are suppose to be excellent too.

I need to come back, if I ever do, with a top 10, impossible without feeling bad about leaving one film out, have lots and lots of favourites.

OK, my list sucks because I realy need to watch more movies and I love comics...

1) Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
2) batman Begins
3) star WQars: A New Hope
4) X Men2
5) x Men
6) Spiderman
7) Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring
8) Star Wars: return of the Jedi
9) indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark
10) The Lord of the Rings: Reeturn of the King

1. Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back
2. Star Wars IV: A New Hope
3. Memento
4. Full Metal Jacket
5. The Shawshank Redemption
6. Requiem for a Dream
7. Cidade de Deus
8. Se7en
9. Being John Malkovich
10. Kill Bill

Damn, that was hard. I know it's a pretty 'safe' list but these are all films that I adore the heck out of. And just to be clear this is a list of my favourite films, not what I think are the best films... which is why there is no Godfather: Part II, 2001: A Space Odyssey or American Beauty in my list. P.S. I consider both volumes of Kill Bill to be equally as great. Other honourable mentions include: Eternal Sunshine, The Matrix, Pulp Fiction, Donnie Darko, American History X, Minority Report, Groundhog Day, A Clockwork Orange, The Truman Show, Goodfellas, Fight Club, Silence of the Lambs, Batman Begins, Sin City, Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Almost Famous, Vanilla Sky, 21 Grams, Lock Stock, Snatch, Dark City, Indiana Jones Trilogy...

1. Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
2. Back To The Future Part 1
3. Star Wars: A New Hope.
4. Ghostbusters
5. Batman Begins.
6. Terminator 2.
8. Sin City.
7. Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi.
8. Reservoir Dogs.
9. Aliens.
10. The Shawshank Redemption.

Tough decisions, and I hate putting them in an order, but here's mine:

1. The Big Lebowski
2. Rushmore
3. Apocalypse Now
4. LOTR trilogy
5. Swingers
6. The Last Of The Mohicans
7. The Matrix
8. City Of God
9. Blade Runner
10. The Shawshank Redemption

Qualifying note: My favorite director is probably Stanley Kubrick, but I found it impossible to choose one movie of his, so I chose none. Stupid logic.

You coulda bent the rules and just put "All Stanley Kubrick films" as one number.

Or just bite the bullet and pick a couple and throw them in the list like I did.

Big Lebowski is awesome - "This is what happens when you **** a stranger in the ass!!" John Goodman is so radical in that movie, I love him.

I forgot Enter the Dragon and Akira. I was going to use Evangelion but that's technically a series with a couple of movies.

I was going to add Ghost in the Shell too, f*ck.

Observation: I bet the people who have voted for Casablanca and Citizen Kane have only done so because they are considered 'worthy', rather than some ultimate love of those movies.

Come on, confess...You know it's true.

Hahaha..that's like me saying that the only reason people are voting for The Matrix is because they think the effects and fighting is cool. Idiotic.

You're wrong, at least in my case. Citizen Kane changed the way I view movies, my taste in movies...everything. I still find it as emotionally gripping since the first time I saw it. And, unlike a lot of movies, there is always something new that I never noticed before whether it be a facial expression, dialogue, setting etc. I'm not one to call it the greatest film of all time, but it is a film that holds a very special place in my heart.

I didn't know it was bad to love a film that has received many accolades and been on many top ten lists. I'll switch Citizen Kane with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Remake if it'll make you happy!

Fair enough. It was just a test to see if you really liked it. Evidently, you really do. It's a great movie, but a lot of people just add a movie like that because it turns up in all the critics' top ten, rather than them personally thinking it's great.

As for The Matrix, when I saw it at the movie theatre I was simply astounded. I had seen nothing like it before.

I was going to do that, but I had already lumped the LOTR together, so I thought I couldn't do it again. However, LOTR should be classed as a collective, rather than individual movies.

I love that movie. I can watch it again and again, and still laugh like I'm watching it for the first time. I love the facial expressions, the dialogue, the story, the White Russians, everything. For me, that was the Coens' peak. 'O Brother Where Art Thou' is also great, but everything else since then has been down-hill.

Yeah, LOTR is basically one long movie actually split up into different parts. So it works.

I thought Fargo was pretty much just as good as Lebowski, but for different reasons. But yeah, Lebowski is definately a film that can be watched over and over again. Shut the **** up, Donny!

I love Fargo, too. It's weird how some people can actually hate that movie so much. Some friends of mine said they thought it was absolutely terrible and that it is one of the few movies they have rented, then turned-off half-way through. They had no idea why I thought it was so funny. Weird.

It is a fairly strange film, some people probably just don't like it's style or it's method of storytelling.

1.) Reservoir Dogs
2.) Annie Hall
3.) Pulp Fiction
4.) Raging Bull
5.) American Beauty
6.) Chasing Amy
7.) The Usual Suspects
8.) Goodfellas
9.) The Toxic Avenger
10.) Sin City

1. Battle Royale (Not Really As Good Technically Wise But I Dunno I Just Like It More)

2. Once Upon A Time In Mexico

3. Pulp Fiction

4. Se7en

5. Dawn Of The Dead (God Help Me 2004)

6. The Fifth Element

7. Ghost World
