Re: Top Ten Films Since You Were Born
 

Way to make me feel young, guys - going from 1990 onwards (and leaning more towards "favourite" than "top", to be honest. Tough picks though, I came up with about twenty that are all interchangeable)

10. Naked (1993)
9. Trainspotting (1996)
8. Sonatine (1993)
7. Unforgiven (1992)
6. Miller's Crossing (1990)
5. Shaun of the Dead (2004)
4. Clerks (1994)
3. Dazed and Confused (1993)
2. The Big Lebowski (1998)
1. GoodFellas (1990)

Really Meat?

Side note: I really need to get around to watching The Three Burials Of Melquiades Estrada as soon as possible.

Re: Top Ten Films Since You Were Born
 

Likewise.

Refer to my favorites list.

Year of Birth: 1981

Re: Top Ten Films Since You Were Born
 

Refer to my Favorite Movies, but minus Rocky because I was born in 1977, a year after Rocky was released.

My tenth favorite movie since I was born is Born on the Fourth of July

I think I get it now, but I'd only have to knock Seven Samurai off my list.

So i'll swap it out with Clerks.

Re: Top Ten Films Since You Were Born
 

I don't think I've ever seen you mention so many 'modern' films in one post, CQ. :D

Re: Top Ten Films Since You Were Born
 

:laugh: I think you're right about that, HK :D

I had a difficult time narrowing it down from about 25 movies and came up with 12. I'm not going to try to take another two away... Even though a lot of this is probably cliche and very homogeneous.

The Ox-Bow Incident
Arsenic and Old Lace (1944)
Double Indemnity
Hail the Conquering Hero
Laura
Lifeboat

A Walk in the Sun

That takes me through my second birthday and I still haven't got to
The Best Years of Our Lives
The Big Sleep
Duel in the Sun
The Killers
The Bishop's Wife
Body and Soul
Gentlemen's Agreement
Odd Man Out
Out of the Past
Force of Evil
Key Largo
The Naked City
The Pirate
Red River
Sorry, Wrong Number
State of the Union
The Treasure of Sierra Madre
Adam's Rib
All the King's Men
Battleground
Champion
A Letter to Three Wives
She Wore a Yellow Ribbon
The Third Man
12 O'Clock High
White Heat
The Asphalt Jungle
Born Yesterday
The Gunfighter
In a Lonely Place
The Men
Roshomond
Sunset Boulevard

and that's just through 1950 when I was 7.

Re: Top Ten Films Since You Were Born
 

The Elephant Man (1980)
The Wild Bunch (1969)
Blade Runner (1982)
Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia (1974)
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) - the year I was born
THX 1138 (1971) (2004 Director's Cut)
Excalibur (1981)
No Country For All Men (2007)
Pi (1998)
The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford (2007)

On deep reflection I have determined these are my favorite films. They hold the most meaning for me. I tire of none of them, in fact only want to watch them again and again. Perfection in film, from my POV.
