It's Raymond Chandler (mystery) as comedy.

Fine, fine comedy.

3. A Clockwork Orange From the intro to the fast forward fucking, everything shines brilliance.
5. Children of Men Technical masterpiece, and just a wonderfully bleak movie.
7. Fight Club The first rule is, mmmmmmmmmmm.
8. The Dark Knight I'm a Batman fan, and this is heroin for Batman fans.
10. Cool Hand Luke What we have here, is failure to communicate!
11. Goodfellas THE mafia movie for me.
13. Monty Python and the Holy Grail British humor at it's best.
14. Blade Runner First true sci-fi I watched, and I loved it.
15. Pulp Fiction Might be the coolest movie of all time.
16. Gangs of New York Bill the Butcher..
17. Twelve Monkeys Brilliant and enthralling
18. LA Confidential Modern Film Noir at it's best.
19. Gladiator Russel Crowe sure knows how to cry in a realistic way!
24. The Dirty Dozen I'd call this the best war movie I've seen.
25. Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back Lucas is a fucking tard, but this movie is pure magic.
26. Braveheart Like Gladiator, only in a setting I care less about.
29. Apocalypse Now! The scene with Brando about the snail-dream, so good.
31. Seven The greatest ending ever.
33. Jaws There's a reason why I'm afraid of sharks, even in Norway.
35. Die Hard My favorite true action movie.
36. Unbreakable Modern superhero tale made good.
42. 3:10 to Yuma(new one) Best modern western there is.
44. Gone Baby Gone How Ben Affleck can create something this good is beyond me


Fuck, that was hard, and I bet I've forgot lots. But what I came up with atm.

nice work, Johner!

I don't think that GBG deserves top-50 status, but I left it there because you had the exact thoughts I did re: Ben Affleck!

[*] 42 FIGHT CLUB I love the editing and the colors and it was pretty bent.
[*] 37 ALIENS You secure that shit, Hudson.
[*] 36 DARK CITY This is actually better than the MATRIX, but there are three of them and only one of this one.
[*] 34 MATRIX TRILOGY It's kung fu versus robots. You don't dig that you might be dead on the inside part. Probably are.
[*] 33 WHEN HARRY MET SALLY Who doesn't want to fall in love like the Jews? Such wacky emotional antics. Don't fuck with Mr. Zero.
[*] 26 12 MONKEYS Memory is a mother fucker.
[*] 25 PREDATOR The baddest ass team ever.
[*] 21 CHILDREN OF MEN Those two long takes blow my mind.
[*] 16 THE BOURNE TRILOGY Finally a James Bond movie done right. (You know it's true.)
[*] 12 A FEW GOOD MEN I could watch this over and over again. Everyone's chewing the scenery so nicely.
[*] 7 HEAT Michael Mann's tour de force.
[*] 6 BLADE RUNNER People are still copying this movie.
[*] 5 CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON God Bless You, Chinese Superman and Wonder Woman.
[*] 3 DIE HARD Best action picture of all time, best villain, and the best everyman hero.
[*] 2 THE IRON GIANT Gets me everytime.

Don't agree with too many of your choices but since you are a smart man, I am probably the one who is wrong here...

First I hated Children Of Men but I have thought about the movie years later..
(I'm drunk but I still have a great memory)

It has very nice shots and visuals. I'm trying to rewatch it but can't get a DVD right now..
