I'll add to the German pile with Goodbye, Lenin! and Lola Rennt.
 
Some bloody great films on here that I'd missed.

Once upon a time in America is pretty decent, I watched the Deer hunter for the first time last year, I was tired but I thought it rather unremarkable, maybe it has lost what was unique to it, i don't know.

Oldboy (Korean version)
Run Lola run
Heat
The Departed
Momento

I can't have that the Holy Grail is better than Life of Brian, apart from the dialogue surrounding the democracy bit its much weaker as a film, maybe a better extended Monty python episode, but not as a film.
 
Good to see plenty of love for True Romance, nobody I ever talk has heard of it let alone seen it.
Can’t believe I missed Leon out as well, quality film.

Killing Zoe is class as well.
 
I can't remember half the film's I've seen but it's been great to read these posts.

I'll add Children of Men as a film I really enjoyed.

True Romance is very good, just didn't get in my top 40 list.

Watched the extended directors cut of Leon (think that was what it was called) recently and it tips over the edge of being a bit too dodgy.

So glad Tarantino sold it on to fund Reservoir Dogs, don’t think it would have been half as good if he’d directed it.

$50k apparently. Tony Scott certainly made a good job of it.
 
Kevin Spacey carries The Usual Suspects IMO. Gabriel Byrne is alright, Benicio Del Toro and Stephen Baldwin are shite in it and the plot has holes everywhere.

Which begs the eternal question of separating the art from the artist. If I can then I'll have American Beauty.
