Similarly The Deerhunter - another great film to slash your wrists to.
Other favourites of mine:
Bladerunner - always top of the list.
The Matrix - finally got round to seeing it: tremendous.
The Great Escape - topical, yet I still remember it from me youff.
Brazil - Terry Jones’ masterpiece.
Life of Brian - of course.

Star Wars (all - but thats another thread for which one is best)

Too many to mention really but those are ones that jump to mind, along with Casablanca the original that I watched not too long ago and I really enjoyed it.

[B]Forgot these 2, ‘When we were soldiers’. Just watched it and I always cry at the end when Mel Gibson goes to the panel where all the names of the soldiers dies in the real battle.
And ‘Shindlers List’, don’t think I saw it on anyones list(Excuse the pun) as I thought it was a classic. Reminds me not to generalise about people of different nations, and that there are good and bad people in every country, including ours! The man should be made a saint if he hasn’t already. [/B]
Agree with those 2 Neal :nod: We went to the pictures to see Blade II when it was out, but that was sold out so decided to see the only other one on that hadn’t already started, which was We Were Soldiers. Hadn’t seen any reviews or even heard about it being on at Cinema but I am so glad that we went to see it. A bloody (pun not intended!) excellent film that we bought on video too (before dvd player).

Crying Freeman
The Warrior (Asain film)
