I'm glad to see someone else like Generations. I know it's an unpopular thing around here, but I liked all of the TNG movies more than movies like Search for Spock or The Motion Picture.

The only Trek Movies I dislike are 5 & 10.

The rest is in no particular order (they're not 20) :

One Upon a Time in America
Pulp Fiction
Les Tontons Flingueurs
Good Bye Lenin
Donnie Darko
Astérix et Obelix Mission Cléopatre
Mais où est donc passé la 7eme compagnie (a stupid French commedy about WWII, so stupid that I love it )

Un Long Dimanche de Fiançailles (A Very Long Engagement)
Fight Club
Pan's Labyrinth
The Lord Of The Rings : The Two Towers

[Timewalker]

Wow -- I'm surprised at which ones I have in common with a few people.

Top SF movie: Contact
Top urban fantasy movie: The Crow
Top foreign film: Raise the Red Lantern
Top Shakespeare movie: can't decide; it's a 4-way tie...
- Henry V (Branagh)
- Much Ado About Nothing (Branagh)
- Hamlet (Gibson)
- Romeo and Juliet (Zefirelli version)
Top Bible-inspired: The Ten Commandments (Heston)
Top parody: Robin Hood: Men in Tights
Top Historical: can't decide; another 4-way tie...
- Spartacus
- Mary, Queen of Scots
- Elizabeth
- Lady Jane
Top Comedy: Scavenger Hunt
Top Romantic Comedy: Romancing the Stone/Jewel of the Nile
Top Kathryn Hepburn movie: Summertime
Top psychological thriller: Cube
Top movie that did NOT need to be remade, EVER: Planet of the Apes
Top movie about which I changed my mind: Man in the Iron Mask
- loved the Richard Chamberlain version and never thought I'd come to enjoy the Leonardo diCaprio version, but now I do

And that brings me to 20. Honorable mention goes to:

Dune
Escape from the Planet of the Apes
The American President
Duct Tape Forever
H2O (okay, it's a Canadian TV-movie, but it's an excellent political thriller)
Terminator
Terminator 2: Judgment Day
Conan the Barbarian
The Running Man
101 Dalmatians

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

2 - Les Enfants du Paradis (Children of Paradise)

I heard this was really good. A kid's movie with challenges a real kid would actually face, no gimmicks, no monsters, no fantasy

 

[Shaytan]

2 - Les Enfants du Paradis (Children of Paradise)

I heard this was really good. A kid's movie with challenges a real kid would actually face, no gimmicks, no monsters, no fantasy

I think we're not speaking about the same movie. Les Enfants du Paradis is a classic from the 40's.

 

[BoxWhatBox]

In no particular order (and I count film series together, with the exception of Bond).

Alien/Aliens
Batman Begins/Dark Knight
Bourne Trilogy (Damon)
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Casino Royale
Day the Earth Stood Still
Earth vs the Flying Saucers
Fail Safe (Original)
Fight Club
Finding Nemo
Hunt for Red October

[Vanyel]

This a very broad topic, genres would effect my choice. Is Star Wars Episode III better than The Godfather part II? I can't answer that. Each is an absolute favorite, so I'm going to use a top 20 of films that I'll watch over and over as a base for my top 20.

1. Gone With The Wind
2. Citizen Kane
3. The Goonies
4. Terminator II
5. 12 Angry Men
6. Jurassic Park
7. Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan
8. Star Trek: First Contact
9. The Wizard of OZ
10. The Sound of Music
11. The King and I
12. The Music Man
13. West Side Story
14. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
15. The Godfather Part II
16. Star Wars Episode III
17. Steele Magnolias
18. Singin' In The Rain
19. Aladdin
20. Beauty and The Beast (Disney)

That list is very flexible and only reflect what I feel right now. Ask me again in a few weeks and except for the top 2 it'll change.
