Re: Your top 10 or 20 films of all time? Godard is one of the best film makers and creative minds in the history of mankind. Nothing wrong with "repping" him since my avatar is one of the best images ever created. Also I'm not a film student. Everybody knows you only go to film school to learn what NOT to do to make a good film, suckapie.

Re: Your top 10 or 20 films of all time? In no particular order:
Fight Club
The Matrix
Zoolander
Hook
Pulp Fiction
Garden State
The Dark Knight
Star Wars (probably the Empire Strikes back if I had to choose one of the six films...)
Aliens
Wall-E
Back To The Future
The Dreamers
Pretty contemporary list there, a lot of big budget blockbusters too. But yeah, those were just the first films that came into my mind, I've probably missed out quite a few good ones, but oh well.

Re: Your top 10 or 20 films of all time? I love that Machine Girl is your number 1 Saigyo. Actually I love your list in its entirety, is that Titus Andronicus the one with Anthony Hopkins?

Re: Your top 10 or 20 films of all time? It makes me a little teary eyed every time.  I could just watch it again and again though. I want to see your list too Fishie, although I fear I wouldn't recognise most of them.

Re: Your top 10 or 20 films of all time? Thanks, Reanimator. I feel that there's a special bond between us simply because we both appreciate Machine Girl for the rare thing of beauty that it is.  We share the same secret.  -- Incidentally, I'm waiting anxiously to get my hands on Robo-Geisha, the newest film by the makers of Machine Girl. And yeah, it was the Titus Andronicus with Anthony Hopkins. I was amazed that the director was able to take an awful theatrical text and use it as the foundation of an amazing piece of cinema.

Re: Your top 10 or 20 films of all time? I forced my mother to order Titus on pay-per-view when it had just released and everybody complained at me for choosing it and then they watched it and of course its excellent so they were sheepishly quiet afterwards.
Robo-Geisha indeed looks good and I'll keep an eye out too; You may have noticed I love low budget horror when its done well. Also thats not the only secret we share, I've been known to sing songs from the Lion King when I think there's no one around to hear ><.

Re: Your top 10 or 20 films of all time? I only recognised the really mainstream things Fishie ^^ but a third of your list is more than I expected to.

Ghost Busters.  17. Detroit Rock City.  18. Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey.  19. The Cell.  20. Ghost World.

Re: Your top 10 or 20 films of all time? Nice list, Chair. Particularly Le Samourai (+ A Woman Under the Influence & Dekalog).
I'm a big admirer of Jean-Pierre Melville and I've a ridiculous man-crush on Alain Delon so, as you can imagine, Le Samourai is easily in my top 20.
Tempted to make one of these now.

Re: Your top 10 or 20 films of all time? Thanks. I figured it would appeal to someone. When I was done making the list I thought "Damn - that's a good list". Aftwards, I felt like watching something from the list. I'll likely watch Walkabout tonight since I downloaded a Blu Ray rip of it. Kind of silly for me to watch a film I've already watched when I have about 80 unwatched DVDs...
