I feel awkward in this thread despite it being a very good one, apologies for all the aggression/ hatred thrown your way.
1. The Meaning of Life.
2. La Haine.
3. Dogma.
4. Monster Inc (Sorry it may be a "kids film" but it's fudging glorious
5. True Romance.
Argue with me about any of my decisions until you die, it will be worth it but you will also lose.
Rififi - the daddy of all heist movies.
Pulp Fiction - still a quality film today and was pioneering.
The Intouchables - just a cute simple film.
JungleBook (original one, watched it on shrooms, and only enhanced a beautiful film!)
Seven Samurai - a ground breaking archetypal film/story that others have copied in various guises (Mr Lucas and Starwars for example).
2 of my favourites there, Rififi and Seven Samurai, do you mean original Jungle Book or Disney animation?
Original! Haven't seen the remake. Should also read the book at some point.
Rififi isn't commonly known, but is a brilliant heist film before the genre existed. Made by a communist fleeing US McCarthyism. Like Seven Samurai, you can see elements of it in other contemporary films. Once you get past the film being in black and white, both Seven Samurai and Rififi are top draw.
Sweet jeebus did you read the thread title. The whole thing is fudging ruined. RUINED!My 5 favourite directors are
Steven Spielberg
Martin Scorsese
David Lean
Frank Capra
Spike Lee
