    American Beauty

    Braveheart

    Can we have a 'film snob' thread, where people have to impress a group of people (me for sure) with their top films? And the people who are to be impressed are allowed be really nasty in their comments about people's choice in films?

    Come on, it'll be lots of fun. In a really demeaning way.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,057 ✭✭✭Wacker


    Mine would be:

    Seven.
    Shawshank.
    American Beauty
    Amelie

    Some of those are subject to change. Honourable mention must also go to the Godfather, 12 Angry Men, Dazed and Confused and Goodfellas.
