Wow...you think Big Fish is the 2nd greatest film of all time, Josh? Really? Jeez, can't wait to see it this weekend...

The list changes a lot, but at this moment, yes, Big Fish stands at #2. It was honestly one of the most inspirational and magnificent films I've ever seen.

They're my 50 favorite movies.

I like foreign films; I just don't get to see them very often. Same with indie flicks.

I can't believe you put Empire Strikes Back after Star Wars. In my opinion Empire was the best of the three!

Other then that, very good list.

" . . . Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve . . . but as for me and for my house, we will serve the Lord." - Joshua 24:15

Very well compacted list. Especially the back to the future trilogy!!

I don't see how you guys can remember 50 MOVIES. If someone asks me for my favorite 1 movie I have a hard time deciding.

"Don't breathe or I'll kill you!"

Requiem for a Dream has to be on there... granted this is a favorite 50 so I can't really do much but lobby for it... the film has some of the most imaginative shots ever captured (ie the 45 minute "clean up on speed" scene sped up to one minute...)and great performances... I've owned the film for 3 years and only managed to watch it 4 times... that's all I could stomach... that was the film's intention and I don't think any other film really carries out it's intent better than Requiem.

1. Saving Private Ryan
2. Matrix
3. Truman Show
4. Ocean's 11
5. Fight Club

That's me, anyway. Off the top of my mind

"This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time"

I like the 3 star wars the most:P with the lil ewoks ^^

Requiem for a dream...it is strange. I liked the film, I admit it is a good one...But I just do not wan't to see it anymore. Not because I am too shokced, I just get bored by it these days.

1. yojimbo
2. millers crossing
3. heat
4. brazil
5. seven samurai
6. pulp fiction
7. dead man
8. once upon a time in the west
9. high and low
10. in the mood for love
11. chungking express
12. the professional
13. out of sight
14. le circle rouge
15. the good the bad and the ugly
16. rashomon
17. three kings
18. last samurai
19. the matrix
20. 5th element

No American Beauty? THat would easily make most film scholar's top five for the last 10 years. Granted, it hasn't withstood the test of time like Pulp Fiction has begun to, Usual Suspects hasn't and Apocolypse Now has, but there are simply no weaknesses in that film. Come on, at least one of you must have enjoyed it!
