Without having seen the list link, a few that pop in to my mind are:

Empire Strikes Back: c'mon! what person (nevermind kid) didn't leave the theatre with thier minds reeling!

Usual Suspects: limp. no limp. 'nuff said.

Titus: that long, slow walk of the kid holding the baby as the music slowly swells, was the perfect ending to one of the darkest stories ever.

Being There: Chance walking on water, realizing he is, but thinks nothing of it. Beautiul.

Unbreakable: I know many people don't like this movie, and perhaps consider the ending 'heavy-handed' but it was brilliant. It is such a 'quiet' intimate story, and then to have it all put in to perspective like that. Man, Willis' character has to feel pretty horrible.

OK, that's off the top of my head... (now let me go see the lis and other's comments)

Unbreakable kicked ass.

Aside from the extreme stupidity of having a weakness to water, I enjoyed it. Actually, I've only seen it once, and should rent it.

Water is his kryptonite, dude. Go with it.

Having seen 2 MNS flicks, I'd have to say they were both my favorites.

Unbreakable was awesome---when's the sequel coming out?

Posted: **Wed Aug 30, 2006 12:36 pm**

heh, i guess I just have not discussed this movie with the right people.... I loved Unbreakable too ... I think the point of water being his weakness was not like it would kill him if he went swimming, but that drowning ... his lungs filling with water, was likely the only way he could be killed, as apposed to physical damage.

Spoiler

And then of course he falls in to a pool and gets tangled in a pool cover and nearly drowns...!

and, yes, Butch Cassidy ending is a really great ending...

Bruce Willis has benn quoted as cajoling MNS about doing one. It would be pretty cool.

Has to be Monty Python's The Life of Brian.

Posted: **Thu Aug 31, 2006 2:09 pm**

Moonstruck
Birdy
They Live
Dr. Strangelove

They Live could've been such a great film.....Excellent idea poorly executed.

Posted: **Thu Aug 31, 2006 2:15 pm**

LOL...the best part was "What's a matter, baby?" at the end.

Posted: **Thu Aug 31, 2006 7:42 pm**

nonono... the best part of They Live is:

I've come here to kick ass and chew bubble gum. And I'm all out of bubble gum.

Do they expect me take this list seriously without Scarface? The absolute greatest gun fight sequence of all time? I can't believe that it isn't on there.

Good call with Rushmore though (I'd count The Life Aquatic and The Royal Tenenbaums as well).
