9. Waking Life

Such an underrated movie, nice pick!

[Guybrush]

I don't know about 10 favorites because some of these I haven't watched in years and I'm a little uncertain of how I'd feel about all of these today, but..

Sorry for breaking the format already, but these are movies that at least made BIG impressions on me when I saw them:

Evil Dead (1981)
The Innocents (1961)
Schindler's List (1993)
The Fisher King (1991)
Forbidden Zone (1980)
Brazil (1985)
The Wicker Man (1973)
The Departed (2006)
Groundhog Day (1993)
Birdman (2014)
Hereditary (2018)
Eraserhead (1977)
The Changeling (1980)
Alien (1979)
Aliens (1986)
Blade Runner (1982)
Braindead (aka Dead Alive) (1994)
The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (2004)
Big Fish (2004)

You may have to add Peter Jackson's entire LOTR trilogy to this as well.

Ghost World
Heathers
Daisies
Show Me Love
Alien
Thelma and Louise
Thelma
We Are The Best
Hausu
My Summer Of Love
Heavenly Creatures

[Psy-Fi]

3. Fargo (1996)
4. Apocalypse Now (1979)

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir
The Night of the Iguana
The Misfits
The Godfather
The Godfather II
Wings of Desire
The Elephant Man
Mulholland Drive

Seems everyone here has good taste.

[Marie Monday]

I can't believe I forgot to put Heavenly Creatures on my list initially
My deepest Apologies to Peter Jackson, Melanie Lynskey and Kate Winslet

[Janszoon]

Off the top of my head and in no particular order:

• Léolo
• Night on Earth
• Mad Max: Fury Road
• Snatch
• Barton Fink
• North By Northwest
• The Third Man
• Metropolis
• Before Sunrise
• 24 Hour Party People

[ribbons]

Before Sunrise

Can't believe I forgot that one - and Before Sunset too.  Wasn't nearly as fond of Before Midnight, but I went through a period of watching Sunrise and Sunset countless times.

Never saw it, but now it's on my watchlist, Marie.   

[Janszoon]

Before Sunrise

Can't believe I forgot that one - and Before Sunset too.  Wasn't nearly as fond of Before Midnight, but I went through a period of watching Sunrise and Sunset countless times.

I love all three movies, but I felt like I should only put one on the list.

[Guybrush]

My deepest Apologies to Peter Jackson, Melanie Lynskey and Kate Winslet

Never saw it, but now it's on my watchlist, Marie. 

We might be watching and discussing it with our little film club soon (if it wins the poll).. And I think it's generally available on Netflix.

You had The Elephant Man on your list which is a movie I considered putting on my own as I do think it's very good. I also notice you have Dancer in the Dark there. This is a weirder pick for me as I think I generally prefer other Lars Von Trier movies btw I have not seen them all. I do have plans on rewatching Antichrist sometime soon when the mood strikes me.
