Off topic I know and sorry if this has been done before but lets be honest nothing is happening in the world of saints. Mine are Pulp fiction, Chinatown, Bronson, The Usual Suspects and Lock stock and two smoking Barrels.
All 3 Batman's, Inception, Bronson, Warrior, Fighter, Lock Stock, The Business. Edit: Platoon, Tears of the sun, Expendables. Also think the Fast and Furious films are getting better as they go on.
Pulp Fiction, Apocalypse Now, Snatch, The Shining, Battle of Britain, Band of Brothers (not a film but im counting it)
Best of our generation and will continue to be underestimated and underrated because he is English. He in my opinion eclipsed Ledger in TDKR. He nailed it.
Would have been better indeed. Never really rated Ledger before TDK barring brokeback mountain. I honestly did not think he had it in him.
Blood Simple, No Country for Old Men (Cohen Brother's best efforts IMO). Never tire of Jaws and Godfather 1.
Shawshank, pulp fiction, behind enemy lines, blues bros and saving private Ryan has the best 30 mins of any film.
It just has to be The Third Man for atmosphere, camera work, plot, characterisation. and bloody good acting. The music is good too.
The best film ever is Il Buono, Il Brutto, Il Cattivo (or, to give it it's english translation, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly). People write it off because it's a western, but this film redifined the genre. It is Leone's masterpiece, a work of cinematographic art (it is the best cinematography i've ever seen, some of the images are stunning), with a soundtrack that complements the images better than in almost any other film (the master Morricone near his best). Added to that three wonderfully textured characters, the performance of Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef's lives and one of Clint Eastwood's best as well. If you haven't seen it, watch it, and then change your list. (other opinions are of course available, but they are of course wrong).
