          katsuhiro otomo's "Steam boy". best. anime. ever.
          im actualy not that into anime/manga (there is a difference btw); but, as some of you may know, im a complete steampunk fanatic. while i cant explain steampunk in a nutshell here, just look it up on wikipedia. its really cool.
          i'll try to get the youtube preview to work here.
          ok, aparantly i cant, but here is the link.
          http://youtube.com/watch?v=0eAk6oNBSMU
          it doesnt look that impresive from the preview, but trust me. its totally awsome to see the full thing. oh, and dont pay attention to the desctiption on the left of the video, thats not waht the movie's really about.

          Intelegence is natrual, it takes real effort to be ignorant

            Ok - lot's from my list already here - Alan's list knocked off quite a few. While I am not a violent person, I have a love for war movies. WW II especially
            "Where Eagles Dare" - Clint Eastwwod / Dirty Harry
            "The Bridge on the River Kwai" - William Holden / Alec Guinness
            "Saving Private Ryan" - Tom Hanks / Tom Sizemore
            and the episodal TV mini-series "Band of Brothers" - too many characters to list a foavorite. This one still captures me if it is on the TV - I usually stop and watch.
            My other war fav's are;
            "Letters from Iwo Jima" - never saw the american counterpart, maybe never will!
            "Platoon" - Willem Dafoe / Charly Sheen
            " Full Metal Jacket" - Matthew Modine / R. Lee Ermey (the first 15 min. still blow me away)
            And of course - my all-time favorite; "Apocalypse Now" - Martin Sheen / Robert Duval / Marlon Brando 👍 👍 👍

              Little test. Which movie was filmed here?

              This is Mapledurham on the outskirts of Reading, just west of London. It has an old church, backed by a manor house; and top left there is a watermill and mill pond. From the shadows, you can see there are some high stone walls...and it's nowhere near any salt marshes.

                Must be "The Eagle has Landed". Michael Caine did not make a very convincing Nazi. Although Donald Sutherland was great as amoral Irishman. Even better was he in "Eye of the Needle".

                  Got it in one, Paul. Actually, I didn't think Donald Sutherland's Oirish accent was all that hot either...but then he never sounds anything other than Canadian. 😉

                    Forgot a few great foreign films:

                    Akira Kurosowa's "Seven Samuarai"
                    Sergei Eisenstein's "Ivan The Terrible", parts 1 and 2

                    under the category of stupid but hilarious:
                    unrated version of "Eurotrip"
                    "Young Frankenstein"

                    My avatar is an anachronism.

                      My list of greats in no particular order.

                      Deer Hunter (the dueling banjos still creep me out)
                      Seven (The ending was a shocker)
                      Trainspotting (just strange but riveting)
                      Forrest Gump (fantastic story)
                      Casino Royal ( all the Bonds were great but this one was the best)
                      The illusionist (Just awesome)
                      Time machine (Perfectly executed story)
                      Band of Brothers (best mini series IMO)
                      Empire of the sun (brilliant story)
                      The Party (Birdie num-num!)

                          Way too many to list them all, but:
                          Five Easy Pieces
                          My Dinner with Andre (all talk, but very moving at the end)
                          Defending your Life (Albert Brooks, Meryl Streep, Rip Torn)
                          Meet Me in St. Louis
                          Princess Mononoke (not quite sure to this day that I understood it, but stunning)
                          Shadow of a Doubt (favorite Hitchcock)
                          Pretty Poison (Tuesday Weld - incomparable bad girl)

                              Good choice of film none the less, i reckon its worth watching just for the banjos, personally.

                                Musn't forget The Usual Suspects. One of the best endings in any movie...as all the pieces fall into place. A bit like the end of The Illusionist in a way.

                                  Ahh yes, that is a great one.

                                  Another weird comedy that I just love is Wilder Napalm.

                                        "L'age d'Or" of Luis Bunuel: a must see(n) for surrealism lovers. Dali (co)wrote the script.
                                        You can find the complete film on youtube:
                                        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcasqBRzeeA

                                        A bit arty farty and it is B&W. But what a masterpiece.

                                          I'm stunned no one has mentioned the Godfather; ALL of them. Now that's the best trilogy of all time. For a horror flick, see the remake of The Thing with Kurt Russel.

                                          Edit: I see Alan did mention the Godfather I and II.
