A few
Best All-Around Story: "Cinema Paradiso" - Such a beautiful story. Every time I cry at the end. We're talking waterworks here. (Runners-up: "Der Himmel über Berlin" and "Big Fish")

Best Sci-Fi: "Blade Runner" - A wonderfully shot dark vision of the future. Great story. "Metropolis" comes very close.

Best Cinematography: "Lawrence of Arabia" - Without a doubt the best shot film of all time. O'Toole performance is outstanding.(I also suggest "My Favorite Year" with him.)

Best Comedy: "Blazing Saddles" Runners-up: "Pulp Fiction" My ribs hurt so much after seeing that; not from laughing but from Mrs. Cheese elbowing me every time I laughed. "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels." Also "Night on Earth" particularly the Rome and New York segments.

Best Animated Feature: "Spirited Away"

Best Animated Short: "Bambi Meets Godzilla"

Best End Credits: "Les Visiteurs" & "Bambi Meets Godzilla"

Best Shoot-outs: "Léon" ("The Professional"), "Heat"

Best Chase Scene: "Bullit", "Ronin" "The Transporter"

Others: "Into The West", "Repo Man", anything with Kate Beckinsale, and so many others that I could fill the internet.

the car chase in bullit is sooooooo shit...
basically cos it's no more than a montage of stunts with no continuity. if in doubt then count the hub-caps lost and the number of times we see the same (blue?) vw beetle... my point is that it has no credibility.

check out "fear is the key", starring barry newman, from a novel by alistair maclean (i think). the film is basically pants (pale blue nylon y's) but the car chase is certainly one of the best and far superior to the one in bullit. you can actually trace how each bit of action further destroys the stolen car, bent chassis and all!

i know this sounds like heresy BUT (and that's a big but) don't forget i'm critiquing the car chase and NOT the coolness of the main man!
