    I love most of the movies people mentioned! :D Great stuff.

    I'd add Natural Born Killers and American Beauty.

    Glad someone added A Clockwork Orange, one of my favourite films ever. Stanley Kubrick is a genius.

    Definitely with you on Silence of The Lambs.

    The Godfather part I was in my top-5 for the longest but recently got knocked out by The Dark Knight. Shawshank and Green Mile are two very underrated movies in my opinion.
