I only like the first Back To The Future film. Didn't get on with the second and I don't think I finished the third.

I like Annie Hall, but think Manhatten's better. I've only seen The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford once, but thought it was beautifully shot and really good. I liked Let The Right One In, as well.

The Green Mile was ok, as was Mystic River, but that's all. Liked Run, Lola Run, too, but 'ran' out of steam towards the end.

Can't stand North by Northwest.

I also feel like it comes close to capturing the brilliant, wacky sense of fun that the first does so well; closer than Part 2.

Or I may be wrong. How would you guys rank them?

I love the first, used to like the third better than second as well. Unfortunately neither of the sequels held up for me when I re-watched them a couple of years ago.

Out of the last two sets I love Let the Right One In and The Assassination of Jesse James.

I didn't care for Mulholland Drive or Let the Right One In and have only seen bits and pieces of Mystic River. I do enjoy The Green Mile though.

I remember I found Manhattan to be a little flat, but I haven't seen it in quite a while.

Thanks all. Vicky, I know you'll love at least one from the next set.

Thumbs up for Midnight in Paris! It's my 3th favorite Woody film and I rated it

. It's probably on my top 10 of this milennium so far. Such a magical movie!

I've seen Toy Story, which was of course enjoyable (Pixar always has a certain quality) and I own Being John Malkovich, so I'm probably watching it in the near future. I heard and read about the other two, but haven't seen them yet. They seem interesting, though.

Thumbs up for Mulholland Drive and Midnight in Paris, which I consider to be masterpieces.

Me too. I flick between Midnight in Paris and Annie Hall as my favourite Woody Allen flicks. Mulholland Drive is brilliant - perfect, really, because I so enjoy reveling in mystery, slowly peeling back layers.

Of the last two sets I've seen Mystic River, Mulholland Drive and Toy Story.

Toy Story and Mystic River are great films, the latter is one of my favourite Eastwood and perhaps one of the most powerful films for me in terms of acting performances. Mulholland Drive is one of my very favourites, absolute masterpiece from Lynch

Got The Green Mile on DVD to watch as well, and Midnight in Paris is always on Sky movies so I'll watch it sometime, never seen a Woody Allen film although I have Crimes and Misdemeanors recorded

Huge thumbs up for Being John Malkovich!

It is such an original, bizarre and immensely entertaining movie. Anyone who hasn't seen it really needs to give it a try.

Toy Story is pretty good too.

I think this might be the best set so far. Lady Vengance was good, but I still prefer Oldboy. Midnight in Paris while not better than Annie Hall, it's probably my second favorite Allen film. Being John Malkovich is one of the most entertaining movies of the 90s. Can't comment on Toy story since I haven't seen it since childhood, and I haven't seen An American Crime

Why is Lady Vengeance better than the other two films in the Vengeance Trilogy? I'm just assuming the others won't pop up beyond this point so if they do, forget me asking this.
