Lots more though, LOTS more....

Excellent choices, Jizzy.

Pulp Fiction and Once Upon a Time In America would probably be my top two, with a host of 'could have been a contendah's for third place.

Anything with either Brando or DeNiro at their most watchable would be up there.

This would be a great thread for Steamboat Bill, Jr. who used to post on the previous Rocks Off board. That kid was only about 23 years old, but his knowledge about movies was incredible and he was always great to read.

to broaden it, I LOVE most anything Tarantino and Leone have made, I worship Peter O'Toole and most anything he's in is fabulous (littler known gems of his include "Murphy's War", "Becket", and "Night Of The Generals", the Godafther trilogy is masterpiece (I even love the third one), "Diva" is great, "Afterhours", the Monty Python films....and we're not even on concert films yet

I have seen lots of movies many many times, but to call them my favorites is impossible. I can't do it with music, so why would I be able to do it with movies!

01. 8 1/2
02. Bande à part
03. The Pope of Greenwich Village
04. Wings of Desire
05. On The Waterfront
06. Pulp Fiction
07. Dr. Strangelove: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
08. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
09. The Ruling Class
10. Most Leone, Scorsese, Fassbinder, Wim Wenders, Woody Allen, and Jim Jarmusch flicks. And a whole lot more.
