Mine would be:
1. Hope and Glory. Lovely film about growing up in WW2 England. Just simple, nice heart-warming stuff.

2. Mr Nobody. A strange one, this is a massive budget film that no-one's ever heard of. Visually stunning, the film also has a good, if complex, storyline. A bit of everything - Sci-Fi, romance, drama.

3. Short Cuts. A three hour epic, based on the short stories of Raymond Carver. All star cast. Better than "Magnolia" that basically stole the idea of inter-twined stories from it.

4. Orphans. Think "Trainspotting" without the drugs but with the bleak Scottish humour. The "locked in the pub" scene is worth the price of admission alone.

5. American Splendour. The true story of a crap cartoonist who got other, famous cartoonists to draw his stories of every-day American life.

6. Bubba Ho-Tep. Elvis is alive, and fighting off the Egyptian undead in a nursing home, aided by JFK (who is black).

Norks count: some in "Mr Nobody", "Short Cuts" shows Julianne Moore's bush.

+1 for Bubba Ho-tep
Also Shortcuts - saw it years ago and finally managed to track it down the other week.

Have Orphans on the server but not got round to watching it yet. Will bump it up the list.

Hope and Glory is worth a watch, the Bubba thing is utter shit.
