Kind of sad that I have only seen 4 films on this list. I have a lot of movie watching catching up to do.

Which ones?

I've never even heard of Cashback. Seen the rest. A few of them many, many times. I'll throw you some rep for having Dark City on here, a great film and quite underrated.

Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

Cashback is a british film, I would suggest you to give it a shot. you might love it.

And I am done.

Let me explain a bit about my list.. These are movies I could watch a lot of times... over and over again...
There are many I have left out, few war movies, a lot of westerns.. some nice action movies.. Few disney movies..

It's really difficult to place movies in order.. I am still not sure I have kept them in the right order yet... But I love all of these...

Cool list! I haven't seen several - but there are a lot that I love. I agree, it is hard to list movies in order - I ended up basically missing the whole western genre in mine accidentally!

I have left out Westerns on purpose, there were just too many of them.

Some movies I enjoyed very much on that list (not the obvious ones):

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (still think this is hands down Carrey's funniest performance ever)
Cruel Intentions
Shoot 'em Up, Commando:
rating:
action rating:
Independance Day
Shattered Glass (Sarsgaard's best performance to date imo)

A question:

I can see you love Burton. Why no love for Big Fish and Ed Wood? Beetlejuice was a little too weird for my taste. That's not to say that Big Fish isn't weird, but it drew me in a lot more than Beetlejuice.

Other than that, nice list mate!

EDIT:
You said you didn't include any westerns because there are too many. Why no film noir? No love for that genre or too many you love?
