4. The Usual Suspects
5. Inception
6. American History X
7. Dogma
8. Pineapple Express

Very rough, though.

 

[Jaboldinho]

Meh.

1. Dark Knight
2. V For Vendetta
3. The Pianist
4. Catch Me If You Can
5. Inglourious Basterds
6. Rear Window
7. Forrest Gump
8. The Social Network
9. Lady Vanishes
10. Blues Brothers

Just roughly 10 movies from the top of my head, can't really rank them.

 

[Filipower]

Off the top of my head(and aided by your posts) and in no particular order!

The Godfather
Shawshank Redemption
Inception
The Prestige
V For Vendetta
Citizen Kane
The Hangover
Fight Club
Airplane!
Inglorious Basterds
Catch Me If You Can
Casino Royale
The Dark Knight

[Back Door Skip]

Shawshank Redemption
Fight Club
Big Lebowski
Donnie Darko
Dumb and Dumber
Zombieland
V for Vendetta
American History X
Scarface
The Lives of Others


Those were off the top of my head. It would be hard to narrow down a top ten if I had time to think about it.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Didn't think I could do this, but I actually think this is a pretty accurate Top 10. Couldn't order them though, like them for different reasons.

The Godfather II
Inglorious Basterds
Scarface
The Empire Strikes Back
The Silence of the Lambs
A Few Good Men

Dumb and Dumber
Blazing Saddles
Beerfest
Revenge of the Nerds

Jakko, I LOVE The Blues Brothers, but Revenge and Beerfest have become movies for me that I will watch every single time I see them. It was on the list initially, but couldn't keep it on, but it's #11!

Django Unchained will almost certainly be on this list if we do it again next year.

El Topo
Fight Club
A Scanner Darkly
Goodfellas
Buffalo 66

There will be Blood

5. Se7en
6. Schindler's List
7. Pulp Fiction
8. Taxi Driver
9. American History X

The Godfather II

De Niro? Or you preferred the story? Or both?

 

[ShiftyPowers]

De Niro? Or you preferred the story? Or both?

I preferred the story. When I was making the list I wasn't even thinking about the De Niro storyline, but that just confirms it as the first thing on the list.

1. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
2. Fight Club
3. A Clockwork Orange
4. The Usual Suspects
5. Se7en
6. Schindler's List
7. Pulp Fiction
8. Taxi Driver
9. American History X
10. The Shining

Heh. If I was to put together a "Guy List--No Comedies" these are probably the 10 movies I'd pick. Maybe not Schindler's List, replaced with Basterds or Godfather.

 

[Mandieta6]

De Niro? Or you preferred the story? Or both?

Godfather 2 is the better movie, I've said this forever. Duvall ftw.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Godfather 2 is the better movie, I've said this forever. Duvall ftw.

Honestly, I think most people feel this way; Godfather just gets the respect because it was the first, and out of reverence to Brando.

 

[Mandieta6]

I only know one person, IRL, who shares this view. I honestly don't like either movie that much, only seen them both once, but I prefered the second and I always have to argue with people about it.

 

[MaSsiVe]

Mission: Impossible

I don't mean the movie , it's just too damn hard to pick only 10...I could probably do a top 25 though.


It's a funny coincidence you guys mentioned The Blues Brothers, because I happened to watch it yesterday
having James Brown, Aretha Franklin, John Lee Hooker, Ray Charles and Cab Calloway featuring in the same movie is outrageously awesome...instant classic for sure.

I love it!

 

[Chacarita Juniors]

La Haine (Hate)
City of God
Taxi Driver
Fight Club
American History X
Pulp Fiction
American Beauty
Se7en
Training Day
Half Baked
12 Monkeys

Le Haine & City of God are my favorites. Some I can't think of and some acclaimed ones I've never seen like A Clockwork Orange, Superbad, or The Hangover.

 

[Back Door Skip]

How could I forget Pulp Fiction and City of Gods? Two kickass movies.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Yeah city of god is really good, I should see if I still have it.

 

[Filipower]

Tropa de Elite 1 and 2 are also great! If you guys liked Cidade de Deus, then definitely watch those!

 

[clash]

This Is England
Fight Club
A Clockwork Orange
Taxi Driver
Godfather II
Goodfellas
Mulholland Drive
Revolutionary Road
Pulp Fiction
Romper Stomper

Should I write it again in few months, it would be different, but at the moment my taste is rather violent :P
Revolutionary Road for me was just unexpected brilliance.
