    "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" takes some beating. It has everything - humour and heartache.

    For comedy, it has to be Mel Brooks' "The Producers". Simply hilarious.

    Ok then - almost everything that Quentin Tarantino has directed or starred in.
    Does that settle it ?

    Dusk Till Dawn was alrightish until the vampires and was then pretty dire. Kill Bills weren't actually that good once you get over the novelty of the graphic violence. RD and PF are by far his best work.

    Yes they probably are but I'm also a big fan of Basterds - every time I watch it I spot something new..

    Have to agree, Basterds was a return to form.

    A film I watched yesterday has to be up there, Amores Perros. The way it's shot is fantastic and the way the film uses bookmarking to link the 3 stories to one specific point in time is very cleverly done.

    To all those putting loads of well known films, you should look at more World Cinema films. You'll find there's a lot of films that eclipse any blockbusters/big budget stuff in the last decade.
