 $ (Dollars)  with Beatty/Hawn 1971.  I only wish they would release it to DVD.
 
 Raising Arizona is fantastic.

Relaxer, I'm in that movie.                        
 
 
 I don't know what my 10, or 11, absolute favorites are but the top 4 listed would definitely be on my list. (In no particular order.)
 
 Mon Oncle (a Jacque Tati film and probably my #1)
 Repulsion (a Roman Polanski film)
 The Exterminating Angel (a Luis Buñuel film - If you know your symbolism, this film makes perfect sense; otherwise, you will think it's total nonsense. As good as it is, this review barely touches any of it.)
 Peeping Tom
 
 Blue Velvet
 2001: A Space Odyssey
 La Grande Illusion
 Silence Of The Lambs
 A Hard Day's Night
 Breakfast At Tiffany's
 Summertime
 
 Obviously, I have a thing for really twisted psychos.
 
 
 When I was about 3 years old, I was obsessed with the film, The Day the Earth Stood Still.
 
 
 If you haven't seen Gone With The Wind yet, I very highly suggest watching it. Especially the ladies. It's very good. The ultimate chick flick with enough war and history for the guys and it's a big, classic Hollywood production.

From, where else, The Onion:
 
  Garden State Some Poor Fuck's Favorite Movie
 
 LOS ANGELESâ??Despite the existence of cinema classics such as Citizen Kane, The Godfather, and Seven Samurai, the 2004 film Garden State starring Zach Braff and Natalie Portman is some poor fuck's favorite movie, according to a posting on imdb.com.
 
 "I thought the interplay between the main characters was beautiful, and the soundtrack was amazing," wrote the miserable bastard after another post called the film "self-indulgent" and "annoying." "It's this cynical society's snap reaction to dislike a movie about finding one's true self. I honestly cry every time he gets off that plane."
 
 The sad sack of shit was swiftly put in his place by another IMDb user, who argued that the film was just a "knockoff" of superior predecessors, such as You've Got Mail.

I just knew, after seeing Sir HC's post, that someone was going to feel the need to talk shit about Garden State.  Look, we all get it, there are those of you out there who think we have horrible taste in movies because we like Garden State.  We don't care.  But not being able to even mention it without some holier-than-thou movie buff jumping down our throats does get a bit annoying.
 
 I'm cheating a bit with some of these, but I don't think it really matters.
