Yeah, Unbreakable was kind of slow, but it had a really cool story line, but I guess its just a matter of tastes.

Greebo, The Client was the movie about a little kid who witnisses a suicide and so finds out the location of a (different) dead body. The cops want him to testify and the mob wants him silent/dead, so he gets a lawyer, hence he is The Client.

How about 6th sense with good old Bruce Willis. Kind of spooky and kept you guessing.

Sixth Sense and Unbreakable have that hypnotic, dream-like feel to them that I really like. Modern mainstream movies don't usually display that much patience.

Otherwise, my list looks a lot like everyone else's. Although I don't think anyone's mentioned one of my personal faves, The Graduate. Funny as hell, with an incredibly subtle but devastating ending. For some reason I'm also partial to any movie featuring a guy in a rubber monster suit smashing up a city. Those things crack me up. Ooooh, and watch Plan 9 From Outer Space with a bunch of drunk friends . . . . grave robbers from outer space, eeeek!!

Ack!! I can't believe I forgot about The Graduate! I think Rushmore has a very similar 'feel' to it. Both are very good movies imo.

If stunts are to be compared. Jackie Chann movies are the best. The most impressive in a long list of top performances for just shear balls is when the motorcycleist jumps the docks and flys out over the bay, he than grabs hold of a cargo net full of cargo hitting it at at full speed and clinging on. It is the most impossible to think about moves I can think of anyone actually doing in real life.

So we're doing violence now are we? The 13th warrior, DESPERADO, The Crow (the origional movie, possibly the greatest of all time), and all George Romero Movies

George Romero is awesome! My fave is Dawn of the Dead. Who doesn't love a good zombie rampage in a shopping mall?

What's even cooler is that when I was a little wee Obliterator, my family always went to Monroeville Mall in Pittsburgh, where Dawn of the Dead was filmed. So watching the movie now, everything has this creepy familiarity to it. "Hey, I used to plug quarters in that Pong machine! Hey, I used to skate on that ice skating rink! Don't remember all the living dead, though . . ."

You guys have mentioned a lot of great movies. As far as I'm concerned there are too many great ones for me to lock onto as absolute favorites. Some great flicks I can think of that haven't been mentioned include
all the Star Trek Movies, the Godfather Movies, The Matrix and, an old favorite satire of mine, Little Big Man.
