2. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
3. Memories of Murder (2003)

If i had another five spots on my profile i'd probably fill them with:

11.Naked
12.8 1/2
13.Rashomon
14.Gone With The Wind
15.Le Samourai

That isn't anything definite though just how i'm feeling right now, ask me in a week and they'd be completely different.

Pretty good for a beginner.

Here we go: banality top 15.

Comin' in at number 15 it's For a Few Dollars More. Feel like we got Leone after underdoing it and before overdoing it here, guys.
14. The Silent World. If you haven't seen any Jacques Cousteau just cast your movie collection into the sea.
13. Magnolia. It actually has nothing to do with magnolias but still pretty good.
12. Badlands.
And speaking of Martin Sheen, number 11 is Apocalypse Now. Vietnam film, maybe you've heard of it.
10. Hearts of Darkness. Oh wait, switch Apocalypse Now and this one.
9. Three Colours: Blue. Technically, blue is the best colour.
8. The Lady From Shanghai.
7. I Vitelloni. Italian for vitamin E.
6. Eyes Wide Shut.
5. Space Jam. This one is a lie.
4. After Hours.
3. Breathless.
Here's where it gets tricky
2. F For Fake. This one wrestled with 8 1/2 for number 1 and lost (put up a good fight tho).
1. 8 1/2. Italian for 8 1/2.

Funny

I think Magnolia is my favorite out of your list, but I also like Eyes Wide Shut, I Vitelloni.. I haven't saw "F For Fake" in a long time, but I probably would rather watch Orson in an interview, or "The Making of 'The Trial'" - which I'm sure influenced "After Hours"

I think F for Fake was the only really original film Welles made since Kane, besides interviews are always horrible. After Hours was Kafkesque though for sure.

This seems like a simple sci-fi movie at first, but several plot points show that something far more sinister is happening. Also, this movie has the tendency to surprise you with its multiple reveals. This is definitely a film which flew under the radar.
Saw this for the first time just a few days ago...awesome film...Sam Rockwell was freaking brilliant.

#1: 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

I understand why some people dislike this movie, but I was enthralled throughout the whole experience. The movie offers some great ambiguity which makes the movie even more amazing and re-watchable. There were many memorable scenes which blew me away. The music perfectly fits the movie. Also, in my opinion, it has the most beautiful cinematography out of all the movies I've seen. Everyone should watch this at least once. Sure, some scenes were drawn out, but it didn't bother me at all and I was entertained throughout the entire movie.

You can feel free to discuss your opinions on these films if you're interested in doing so.
I'm not saying you are a Sci-Fi Movie lover, though there is a few Sci-Fi Films which you classed as the 15.

My House guest 1 years ago, he was writing a Sci-fi book. He has writing to for 10 years and his collection of DVD's is all about Sci-fi Films. He's chef by trade, but certainly not a clean and proficient writer. Hand written, typed (old typewriter) new computer. 1000 pages. Many times I said to him "do a trilogy".

I like many of your movies.
