Top 10 favorite movies

I like most of his works, but I still need to see Summer of Sam and 25th Hour.

I haven't seen 25th Hour but Summer of Sam was good. I think Spike Lee is perhaps the most interesting contemporary american director. I love his work.

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.

I loved He Got Game. I expect that, before long, Steve will interject that he does as well...it's one of the few things we agree on. I ended up watching it "by accident." That is, I was more or less killing time, started to watch it, and was drawn in enough to sit through the entire thing, even though I had little to no interest in it beforehand. Excellent film.

I haven't seen most of his films, however, though there are a few I've been meaning to rent. Perhaps I'm subconciously turned off by the fact that the man is, to put it bluntly, a racist.

In what way do you mean he is manifesting his racism in his films?

That's an unusual mix. I've only seen 5 of them [Spirited Away; The Untouchables; Fiddler on the Roof; The Last of the Mohicans; He Got Game] & you'd have to be one of the few guys [assuming you're a guy] that loves Fiddler on the Roof - at least that I've encountered. I agree its a great movie one of the best movie musicals.

I only recently rented out He Got Game [it was on my list to see along with a few other Spike lee films I've missed like Summer Of Sam] & was surprised by how good it is......especially the casting of Milla as a bit of a love interest for Denzel - what a weird match up. But the lead guy was a good character & he did a good job with it. I'm not much of a Denzel fan so when he's in a movie that doesn't centre completely around him I'm much more interested.

The Third Man
Chinatown
A Clockwork Orange
Planet of the Apes
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
.
.
The rest changes constantly

there's too many to choose from you ll drive me insane if im on the spot. how about a **** list that would be easier...

My list, if you could call it that, is always changing. Also, it serves as my list of 'best' movies of all time as well (some people have best lists and favorites lists.) It's not in any order:

Aguirre, Wrath of God (Werner Herzog)
Do the Right Thing (Spike Lee)
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (Steven Spielberg)
In the Mood for Love (Wong Kar-Wai)
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (Howard Hawks)
Ikiru (Akira Kurosawa)
Tokyo Story (Yasujiro Ozu)
McCabe & Mrs. Miller (Robert Altman)
Imitation of Life (Douglas Sirk)
The Puppetmaster (Hou Hsiao Hsien)
Wings of Desire (Wim Wenders)

Regrettable omissions: The Sweet Hereafter, Rear Window, The Wild Bunch, Killer of Sheep, Leaving Las Vegas, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Touch of Evil, Fargo, Breathless, Two or Three Things I Know About Her, Apocalypse Now, Paris Texas, Close-up, Grave of the Fireflies, The Earrings of Madame de..., The General, The Last Temptation of Christ, Blow Out, The Palm Beach Story, There's Something About Mary, Hoop Dreams, and The Naked Kiss.

For my own purposes, I only allow one film per director. Or else my best ten list would be all Howard Hawks & Werner Herzog. Or just ten Godard movies.

There are some very interesting lists here, and I have to agree with most of the posts in the fact that my list changes from week to week...depending on my mood and the movies I have recently seen...but on to the show

In no peticular order...

The Matrix & The Matrix Reloaded (and most likely Revolutions)
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers(once again most likely Return of the King)
Original Star Wars Trilogy
The Crow
Akira
Ghost In The Shell
Fight Club
Interview With The Vampire
Braveheart
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

I know that there are a few more then ten there but as the fact is is that as much as I love those movies seperately, they really come together when thought of as a whole....especially LOtR, and Matrix.
Either way, that is the current list, but who knows it my have changed by the time I press Submit
