Donnie Darko

One flew over the cuckoos nest
Shaweshank Redemption

Also saw a French film a few weeks ago called Pricelss (Hors de prix) which is well worth of a watch (with the missus)

Not a single mention of either Oldboy, Pulp fiction or Resevoir dogs. Terrible.

A few Pacino and De niro films, but what about 'Heat' a Michael Mann classic and THE finest shootout scene ive seen.

'The Untouchables' anyone...or did Kevin Costner put a few people off Or Sean Connery doing his Irish new yorker from Chicago/ Scottish accent

And away from De niro...I cant believe no one has mentioned 'Good Morning Vietnam' ? Robin Williams at his very best an absolutely brilliant film.
