That's too mainstream though. I prefer zombie Mark Strong.
I'll expect Eboues list to be 10x All The Presidents Men and 10x 3 Days Of The Condor.
Do either of those have Barbara Streisand in it?
They're 90% Streisand.
Just 90%? Is Kiefer Sutherland in them? Because if so, I'm out
Do you accept Donald?
I ended up seeing it while I was a newbie after reading the reviews on the mains movie thread, the same way I got myself to see the Wire.
Forever in your debt and all...
Just me that thinks Jackie Brown is better than all of Tarintinos other films bar Pulp fiction and Reservoir Dogs ?
How come you've not tried his other films?
I am inclined to say that it will have to be either Jackie Brown or Basterds.
Is the voting still open by the way?

Yes. Just you.
Ahh, I made that same journey too once.
Anyway, these are the best films of all time according to me:
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) - 1 - 15 points
Gravity (2013) - 2 - 14 points
Vertigo (1958) - 3 - 13 points
Apocalypse Now (1979) - 4 - 12 points
Blade Runner (1982) - 5 - 11 points
Lawrence of Arabia (1962) - 6 - 10 points
Interview with the Vampire (1994) - 7 - 9 points
Come and See (1985) - 8 - 8 points
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) - 9 - 7 points
Godfather Part II (1974) - 10 - 6 points
The Birds (1963) - 11 - 5 points

I hope R.N7 is correct on this one.
"Idi i sma tri", is an awesome film, probably should have featured higher on my list. Superior to "Schindler's List" (different subject matter, but still captures the essence of mass atrocities in a more sensitive way) and I am happy that someone has recognised it so early on this forum.
Sorry to reply to this post after such a long time has passed, but I just saw it and I find it objectionable to say the least. "300" is masterpiece for me and I will explain. The film wildly succeeds in its primary aim which is to convey the Spartan martial ethic. The viewer is left in no doubt as to what kind of society ancient Sparta really was. For anyone remotely familiar with ancient history and political thought, the importance of this can not go unnoticed. The fact that the action is choreographed in an exaggerated and theatrical manner serves to underline the resonance of the events depicted through the ages and the sheer heroism of the Spartans in standing up to the mighty superpower of its time. Gerard Butler and Lena Headey are also awesome in their roles.
You're awesome in your role as a wind-up!
Who, me?
Yeah, I was just joking though. Well I find your views on 300 a bit surprising if they're serious, but to each their own. I just felt like you might be on a wind up but I see you'd actually included it in your list!
Well, I think it's an awesome film. By the way, 20 films is way too little. I just realized I have left out "The Shining", "Citizen Kane", and "Cloverfield".
300's an eyesore.
So's your haircut, Kun.
It soars, alright.
Starting this now. I had to have a drink to calm myself when I saw 300 on some of these lists.

Stop it. You literally cannot think this.
Say Anything, Say Anything the mundane Cameron Crowe flick?
Why can't you be in a good mood? How hard is it to decide to be in a good mood and be in a good mood once in a while?
High Fidelity is great, Grosse Point Blank is great. But Say Anything is the best.
I've had the same thing with Fight Club. Some cnut of a friend thought it'd be a good idea to spoil a great film for me. Still loved it to bits though.Being John Malkovich tops the John Cusack scale.
I figured you would comment on White Men Can't Jump.
White Men Can't Jump used to be on tv all the time back in the day but I haven't seen it in yonks. Wesley Snipes should receive a public apology from the President of the United States for the way he has been treated imvho.
What about from The Presidents Of The United States Of America, should they apologize too?

Nah, I'm sure they've got better stuff to do.
Stand By Me and The Big Lebowski are great films though.
I quite like your list Eboue, most of those on there that I've seen, I like them. Cloud Atlas was on my extended top30 list too.
