My favorite films:
1. Vertigo (1958): Alfred Hitchcock's profound and deeply personal suspense masterpiece.
2. Seven Samurai (1954): Akira Kurosawa's intense and poetic samurai epic.
3. Citizen Kane (1941): Orson Welles' first feature-film is the most innovative and influential film ever made, and is widely regarded as the greatest film of all-time.
4. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968): Stanley Kubrick's deeply thought-provoking science-fiction symphony.
5. The Rules of the Game (1939): Jean Renoir's comedy of manners and intelligent study of social classes.
Also: The Godfather (1972): Francis Ford Coppola's incredible multi-generational crime saga, 8 1/2 (1963): Fredrico Fellini's surreal and hallucinatory showbiz satire, Rashomon (1950): Akira Kurosawa's examination of the nature of truth and the first Japanese film to gain major notoriety in the states, Dr. Strangelove (1964): Stanley Kubrick's hilarious and paranoid cold war satire, Rear Window (1954): Alfred Hitchcock's interrogation of voyeurism and movie-viewing, Touch of Evil (1958): Orson Welles' tongue-in-cheek, film noir vision of corruption, and The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928): Carl Theodore Dreyer's intimate silent masterpiece, which dabbles beautifully in both realism and expressionism.

The movies you ABSOLUTELY need to see before you die:
La Vita e Bella (Benigni at his finest)
Green Mile (made me cry all every time)
Star Wars ep IV-VI (to laugh at the silly good ol SFX)
Kill Bill (Tarantino's a genius)
Shutter (Thai horror, The Grudge is nothing compares to this)
