Movies - Top 10 of all time (2 Viewers)

Think I'm answering myself here, anyhoo, this is a great film, very intense, sweaty and claustrophobic, (if it were a band it would be The Cure)

 
I love that film. By the way, whereabouts are you from? It's just the use of "anyhoo" made me think you might be from my neck of the woods (Newcastle) or Scotland maybe (unless it's a typo ;) ).
 
Yes, I'm from Scotland,the cold, damp north, full of tribal barbarians, (or so we like to think of ourselves). Yes it's a great film, difficult keeping it out of the Top 10. When I ask (plead) with people to watch it, they look as if I've just asked them to watch the sequel to Brigadoon.
 
Nobody up here in the frozen north got it either when I explained what the film wasn't. My sorry attempt at humour.:)
Here's a little unrelated humour that I like.

still thinking....

Godfather
Children of Paradise
The Human Condition
Satantango
Big Lebowski
Heat
Nights of Cabiria
Andrei Rublev
Treasure of Sierra Madre
One-Eyed Jacks
 
Top Ten plus, in no particular order: Goodfellas, Monty Python & the Holy Grail, A Touch of Evil, Apocalypse Now, The French Connection, The Conversation, Amelie, Le Samurai, Mystery Train, The Royal Tenenbaums, This is Spinal Tap, and The Big Lebowski.
 
Help! this is one of my favourite films, but every time I watch it I get distracted at this scene by the song in the background, I think I know it, I don't know for sure, does anyone recognise it?
