no1, I have seen pretty much every "classic" American film there is, and I can say that I really enjoyed Casablanca but that it's not one of my personal favorites. If I had to list the top ten most IMPORTANT films of all-time, it would be in the top 5 for god sakes, but just cause none of us are choosing the "safe answers" doesn't mean we're unsophisticated. (Ya jerk! 😉)

PS How about Clerks, ya bunch of coarse peons!
Originally posted by no1marauderAhhh The good ol' Marx brothers, yes Duck Soup is definitely good, but I'm talking about movies from the 90s and the mostly-very-disappointing 2000s. As far as 90s comedies go, There's Something About Mary had many very big laugh-out-loud moments, some that don't work after seeing the movie a couple times but still enough to make it watchable. You can't live in the past forever, try thinking more freely, you over-rated over-the-hill overly-egotistical chess addict!

But seriously, Airplane! is funny. damn funny.
Only one Italian film (Cinema Paradiso is a personal favourite) and one vote for the excellent City of God.
No French films, no Spanish, nothing with Gong Li, no Kurusawa, just a couple of English films. There havs been one or two quite good Australian films and has no one seen 'A time for drunken horses' or Kieslowski's Three Colours trilogy?
'Lilya Forever' wasn't much fun, quite bleak in fact, but it is well worth watching.
Spread your wings ..........
