Ghost World
Hell Cab

May/Magnolia/Myth Of Fingerprints/Matrix 1
Persona
Short Cuts
Taxi Driver
United States of Leland

for the moment, i'll have to think about C, E, I, J, K, N, O, Q, R, X, Y and Z.
Chinatown, Kill Bill for example are great movies, but i wouldn't count them as among my fave ones, X-Files, i prefer the TV show to the movie, so if a show counts here, add this to the letter X.
