That film is hilarious, and yet nobody I know has ever heard of it.

All time funniest film ever - The Life of Brian.

Best Sci Fi - Alien

Best horror - The Ring (Japanese version).

Best Gangster movie - Goodfellas

Office Space is really great!!
The life of Brian is hilarious. A true classic. I can watched 100 times and still laugh.
I couldn't sleep after the Ring...

Shit, I almost forgot another of my all time favorites-- "The Warriors"

I was genuinely inspired when I first heard Cyrus's speech-- "Can you dig it?!?!?"

Mann's best flick I've seen is "The Insider". Seen that one?

Last of the Mohicans is a riot. I mean, incredible charged emotional violent historical flick he did.

The Insider was alright, I preferred Heat, just like Kafirist.

Hmm... Let's see!

A sign of a good movie for me is no matter how many times you have seen it, if it comes on the telly again this evening, then I'll watch it again and so on ad-infinitum!

In that category, there are two that stick out like a sore thumb for me......

Shawshank Redemption

Forest Gump

There are some rather unconventional films I've seen as well such as "Once were warriors" anyone seen that?

Yup. My ex lived through shit like that (not with me though ). We both saw it.

Bandit Queen was hard case too.

Easy Virtue is fantastic. One of the best films I've ever seen.

ETA: And Snatch rocked too. Opening scenes were hilarious.

Thank you for adding a Brazilian movie to the list, billy!

I'll add my list in a couple of days because I'll have to disappear from the forum once again. New Year's today and I still gotta my paper to finish until Tuesday.... tough times

However I recommend watching this Brazilian short movie from 1989 by Jorge Furtado. It's only abut 12 minutes long and this version is subtitled in English.

It's called "Ilha das Flores" and the English title is "Isle of Flowers"

There's also a dubbed version:

Hope you guys like it

I think Cidade de Deus is one of the greatest movies ever made. At least, one of the greatest movies I have ever seen.

Rise of the foot soldier was also quite good.

That's a soap opera. How do you know about that?

I don't really like Brazilian soap opera (novela) very much...

lol!

I'm amazed they are already showing it in the USA. Some actresses are really pretty and some are also talented... when they are not doing soap operas, that is.

That one in particular annoyed me a little because people and the media started saying the most ridiculous things about Indian culture and society. It was a stereotype festival.

In no particular order, I'd venture a tentative recommendation for these (taste being the subjective thing that it is):

Naked Lunch
La Lectrice
Thirst
I've recommended some Wong-Kar Wai films elsewhere - Chungking Express and the 2046 trilogy. A dis-recommendation for Ashes of Time, though.
Also, Divine Intervention (as directed by Elia Suleiman) gets my vote.

Before it gets too late, you will find escape.
