Non. (As for today)

Mulholland Dr.
Heaven - Tykwer
LOTR: TFOTR
Goodfellas
Amelie

K's
Dr. Strangelove
The Shining
EWS
Paths of Glory
ACO

Someone here just mentioned Secrets and lies, I most say, that is a terrific film, could be one of the best dramas ever, the only one scene that comes to my mind that outshines it in a dramatic sense is when Julianne Moore is in a drugstore and she's pissed off because the guys there won't give her the medication it's from the film.... do I really have to mention this film? Can't believe didn't include it, I have the feeling that when I finally see PDL it will be upthere.

Ravi

Manos: The Hands of Fate
Glen or Glenda
National Lampoon's Van Wilder
Police Academy 2
Deep Throat

1) Key Largo
2) Hard Eight
3) Goodfellas
4) When Harry Met Sally (sorry, but it's fucking hilarious)

8) Pulp Fiction

My favorite postmillenial film so far is probably Morvern Callar. I need to see it a few more times.
""Money doesn't come into it. It never has. I do what I do because it's all that I am." - Morrissey

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."
