FYI: Grease was about the 1950s, though it came out in 1978. It was a stage musical for years before the film came out, but the script was altered significantly for the big screen. In fact, it was the popularity of the live musical 'Grease' that prompted the TV studios to go ahead with 'Happy Days'...

My faves: I like FX, but eye candy alone doth not a movie make...

2001: A Space Odyssey - True Sci-Fi, not just a western/swashbuckler set in outer space. Plus, though made in 1968 - the year I was born - the effects, sets, props etc. remain unsurpassed in their plausibility.

Alien (1) - Bar none the scariest film I have ever seen. A lot more far-out than 2001:ASO, but as a sci-fi horror film, outstanding. Alas, the sets and technology in that first film look kinda dated now.



I'll add more as I think of them...

movies are like music to me. it all depends on my mood.

i can't believe no one mentioned anything from the Rocky series. there are no better pump you up films.

am i the only one who thinks "the good, the bad, and the ugly" was overrated? i watched it and found it amazingly boring. i usually like westerns, but not that one.

Which version? I believe the Leonardo DiCrappio version was a remake.

Brian: Don't you love that transition from flying bone to flying ship?

[cfleck]

i hope you are kidding about the di caprio version. eastwood man!

I can't choose only 10 or to put them in order. A try:

- Godfather I- III
- Blade Runner
- Matrix
- Pirates of the Caribbean (I could watch it again and again..)
- Carne Tremula ('Live Flesh', Almodovar; any Almodovar film is my favorite so should be in the list too: Todo Sobre Mi Madre (All About My Mother), Hable Con Ella (Talk To Her) etc)
- Shrek or Monsters Inc. or Ice Age - or all of those. I love cartoons that are not for adults only
- Requiem For A Dream
- Trainspotting
- The Long Goodbye (one of the only films I remembered exactly how I felt after seeing it 12 years ago)
- Man and The Naked Gun - series. I love mafia and 007 parodies
- Nuovo Cinema Paradiso and Il Postino.

Godfather III? Not to mock anyone's choices (especially when Adam Sandler gets several nods) but zip for Citizen Kane, Casablanca, It's A Wonderful Life, Wizard Of Oz and Gone With The Wind.
But GF3? even Al distanced himself from that one, saying the intention was good.

Fryke, noticed you're a Lars fan. what did you think of Dogville? Saw it more than 3 months ago in Paris and still can't make up my mind about it.
