I've got a few other criticisms of the film but Batman/Nolan fanboys tend to be quite aggressive and don't take well to criticism so I'll keep them to myself.

29. Casino
"Take care Steve, take chances and drive fast."
Casino is one of my favourite Scorsese movies out there. Sharon Stone is fantastic delivering her best performance of her career, looking damn hot doing so. This movie is dark, brutal, and not for the squamish, especially because of the ending. True gangster movie.

I thought that version was called Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory?
Anyway, not a fan of it or The Lego Movie and haven't seen either Home Alone a long time. I loved The Dark Knight when I first saw it, but the last time I watched it I only loved Ledger's performance.

I expected The Lego Movie to be basically a long commercial for the toys, but I was very pleasantly surprised. It turned out to be a fun movie.
Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory has been a favorite movie of mine since I was a child, and it still is. Gene Wilder made a lot of great movies, but IMO, this is his best.

I love True Romance and Fight Club.
I remember liking the other two, but it's been a long time since I saw either. I probably should rewatch them.

Not a fan of AHX at all. True Romance was a bit of a letdown but i did like it overall. Like the other two quite a bit.

Despite of all the so-called cinephiles who brush off the "cult flick turned mainstream trash", Fight Club, I still stand by that it is a great film and it gets better with every viewing because of how much is put into it, the script, the visuals etc.
American History X is not a movie I feel like rewatching over and over again, but the few times (around 2 or 3) I've seen it, I loved it. Great flick.
I don't love Heat like everybody else does, but I respect it and find it well-made and executed. A little long, a little slow, slightly bland but not truly boring and the talent behind and in front of the camera makes it a good watch.
True Romance is fun. I like it, but I don't love it. Only seen it once though...

Huge fan of Willy Wonka, Fight Club & Heat while the others are still good movies to watch; the exception, for me, being the Home Alone movies.

Seen Troy a looong time ago... Can't even remember if I saw the whole film. I should revisit it sometime, despite the cheesiness of whatever I remember it to be (and has also been critiqued for, which I guess is why you wanted to justify it in advance )
Reservoir Dogs is a great little movie. Classic Tarantino and a fantastic debut film! I liked Boogie Nights a little less last time I saw it, but it's still awesome... GoodFellas is still a masterpiece last time I checked and the best gangster film ever made (if we are considering The Godfather a mafia film... you know, same same but different)
Good picks!

haven't seen Boogie Nights but a HUGE fan of Reservoir Dogs and Goodfellas. Troy I'm kinda on the fence with. Love the parts with Pitt and Brian Cox but Orlando's character just irritated the ***** outta me. If I was his brother I would have shoved him out the front gates along with Helen when the army first arrived. "Here's your lady back and the dumb@ss that took her. Sorry you had to come all the way out here. Have a falafel."

I've been meaning to watch Warrior and This is England, but never seem to get around to it. I haven't seen the original Terminator in many years, but I did like it in the past. Warriors is a good bit of fun, but I don't know that I'll ever watch it again.
