Go on, argue with me.
LOTR. Yes, it's a blockbuster, but it's the look and feel of the thing.

Shaun of the Dead. Real emotions, and real exploding heads.

Eraserhead. Just absolute despair made visible.

Spirited Away. The only film we watch as a family, and then have critical discussion about. Repeatedly. Howl's Moving Castle is also good.

House of Flying Daggers. Jesus, just look at it.

The Spy Who Came In From The Cold. Seedy Cold War paranoia at its best.

Casino Royale isn't the best film in the world, but it's the first Bond not to insult my intelligence.

The Bourne Trilogy. Proof that Americans can do subtle. Best of its type since Three Days of the Condor.

I totally agree
about lotr.... as close to the books as a film could come. They were awesome. The Bournes are ace too, though the 3rd one was a bit.... forced for me.
