Since Garrett made his list, and said others could make one too, I will. I think Garrett had a pretty good list, but here are some of my favorites.
Which is your favorite/favorites?
I think Memento is a really good movie that isn't that popular. So if you havent seen it before I recommend checking it out. Or if you haven't seen some of the others I recommend them as well if your into the same type of movies I am. |

Haha, thats an amzing list. So hard to choose from. I picked Fear and Loathing though, Johnny Depp is fantastic in that film. I also like the fact that it stays pretty true to the original Hunter S Thomson book. Great direction from Terry Giliam. I have never seen any of the Godfather films *gasp* - I know. Its bad, I've been meaning to watch them for years, just never seemed to have gotten round to it. Pulp Fiction is amazing, so is Reservoir Dogs. In fact so are all Tarantino films. The Shawshank Redemption is also a damn good film, but did anyone think oh-so happy ending was a little trite? L.A Confidential is good, but prehaps a little over-rated. I havnt seen Memento or The Boondock Saints.

I haven't seen many of those, but out of that list, Goodfellas.
You may or may not like The Departed more than Goodfellas, Hobo. |

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a great movie, and I can tell it would be a perfect movie for you.

The Godfather triliogy I think is good and you might enjoy it, although it might be one you would find over rated. Part III is not as good as the first two parts.

I am a big fan of all Tarantino movies, except the ones that say "Presented by Quintin Tarantino", when he had nothing to do with them.

I have so many movies that I like, I was trying to think on the spot for more. So I added this, although it is good I would put others ahead of it. Others I would add here are : The Usual Suspects, Full Metal Jacket, The Professional, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Taxi Driver and more.

| that's a pretty good list. lots of them I didn't see though. I picked Memento cause that was a really good movie imo. I like those styles of movies were the time frames a all mixed up and you only realize part way through the movie. my second choice would be Pulp Fiction, for the same reason. |

Well, I suggest you get watching then because these are very important films that have had huge cultural impact. Put simply you need to see them. |

| Pulp Fiction. Reservoir Dogs comes a close second, and The Shawshank Redemption third, for me. |

| There's a reason I haven't been replying to these top movies lists, I haven't seen a single one of these movies. |

The only anime movie I've ever seen is one called R.O.D. (Read Or Die), and that is only three long episodes strung into a movie. I also bought it on DVD since I thought it was so good. |

I don't watch movies. That is, unless someone has invited me then I'll say "sure" unless it's a horror film. Or if I'm bored (and can't use the computer), I'll watch one of TV if it's on. |
