6. Se7en
7. 12 Monkeys
8. Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of The Sith - epic domination IMO, Maddox, the extremely well camouflaged sell-out can GTFO ,,|.
9. Inglorious Basterds - I thought this movie went well under the radar and thought it was a fantastic flick - the opening scene had me on edge and some of the dialogue throughout was spectacular, plus I am hawt for Brad Pitt (as an actor).
10. No Country for Old Men - epic domination of mass proportions.

Honourable mentions -

Deerhunter - Russian Roulette scenes - epic
Requiem for a Dream - they went slightly overboard IMO, but intriguing nonetheless.
Snatch
Casino
The Untouchables
Waterworld - I liked it, especially Dennis Hopper
The Truman Show - could have been done better, but novel concept
Goodfellas

I liked Episode III as well. It was definitely the best prequel (not hard), mainly because of Ian McDiarmid. The showdown with Mace Windu and Anakin's Sith "baptism" was awesome.
I would like to know why he chose the name Vader though. With all his knowledge of Padme he should have hinted at the fact that he had (potentially Sith) kids coming because vader means father in dutch.

AotC was by far the worst. Except for Jango Fett vs Obi-Wan.

In fact Obi-Wan pretty much kicked arse throughout all the prequels. Next to the Emperor he was the best thing about them.

Oh and Jar Jar of course.

I won't make another thread, top 10 is enough.

Honourable mentions go to National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1 (see my avatar), Transformers: The Movie (the 80s cartoon, soundtrack is available on iTunes btw and is fantastic), the new Batman trilogy, relatively newish old school war movies like Apocalypse Now, and The Lord of The Rings Trilogy.

Will post more if I think of any!

Too hard for me to pick a list since there are so many awesome movies. I'll just put the original Star Wars trilogy since I know for sure they would be in my top 10 list if I had one.

Yeah, very hard.

Platoon and Full Metal Jacket definitely up there.
Boogie Nights would be up there - I really loved that (even though a lot of people seem not to). The dark humour was perfect for me.
Shawshank and Forrest Gump for sure.
I found American History X very entertaining.
District 9 was a good, more recent one.

Just watched Master and Commander on bluray and holy fucking shit it was awesome. It's not the most exciting movie but if you have a nice sound system my god it was fantastic. Best sound thingy I've heard in ages. Definitely recommend just for the sound alone. Amazing.

I long for a day when I can have a T-Box (or something else that's legal that works here in this form) and just click on your links guys so I can just watch your recommendations.

Someone has already come of with this... perhaps there's a patent standing in the way between consumers and entertainment providers that isn't getting the money flowing as it should be.
