In no particular order:

Caro Diario

Fight Club was pretty good too...the only film whose twist I NEVER saw coming. Plus Edward Norton's awesome.


[hr]Why don't you tell them that yer major was secret sauce when you were at the spatula academy!

[the reason for the word w]

well, there are good films, which were extraordinary, but really gave me the creeps and therefore wouldn't show up on my list (like American history X). My favourites:

Godfather 1+2, Lord of the rings 1-3, The Royal Tennenbaums, Casablanca, Wag the Dog, When Harry met Sally, Good Bye Lenin, Igby goes down

[hr]Above all shadows rides the Sun
and Stars forever dwell:
I will not say the Day is done,
nor bid the stars farewell!
