My top movie list.. in no particular order, trying to cover a range of genres..
| Anachronismuk's Rating | My Rating | |
|---|---|---|

Nikita (La Femme Nikita) 1990, R)
My all time favourite film, and the reason I got into world cinema. Just never mention "The Assasin" to me! |

Subway 1985, R)
A very classy fantasy following the story of a robber, who ends up living in the fantastical world of the Paris Metro. Great characters, good humour, and an amazing fantastical world. I wish the London Underground was as interesting ;) |

Run Lola Run (Lola rennt) 1998, R)
Slick german film, telling the same story 3 times, each with the smallest of changes, which ripple outward giving totally different outcomes. Inspired a Simpsons episode (Run Lisa Run) |

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure 1989, PG)
Just plain old good fun, with some clever use of paradox. |
|
| 5 |
Rollerball 1975, R)
This one played like a video game! While it may not have aged as well as it might, I remember this film having a big effect on me in my younger days. |

| 6 |
Bad Taste 1987, R)
Brilliant gorefest from the director of The LOTR trilogy. I found it a bit slow in the middle, but it soon picked up! |

| 7 |
Battle Royale 3D 2001, Unrated)
|

Being John Malkovich 1999, R)
This is oneof those films which, when you watch it, you know you're watching something original, and different |
|

The Princess Bride 1987, PG)
Another Rob Reiner comedy that is just so right! |

Les Amants du Pont-Neuf (The Lovers on the Bridge) 1991, R)

|
| 12 |
Sin City 2005, R)
|
|
| 13 |
They Live 1988, R)
Consume! |

Shaolin Soccer 2001, PG-13)
A really good fun movie |
|
| 15 |
Spirited Away 2001, PG)
A film with imagination! Wow, if you have kids, you should show them this movie (and watch it yourself... I don't have kids, and I love it!). Compared to the Toy Stories, Finding Nemo's, etc, there is not comparison. This story is so imaginative! The artwork is beautiful, and the characters compelling! |
