In no particular order...

5. Crash
4. 2001: A Space Odyssey (DON'T CARE IF IT DIDN'T LIVE UP TO THE BOOK, HAL FUCKING OWNED IN THAT MOVIE.)
3. Amélie (funnnnnny.)
2. Pulp Fiction
1. Children of Men (Cinematography)


For the sake of diversity in the list, I vote that we should require that there be no more than two Stanley Kubrick films in each list. Of course we could all just post a bunch of lists that contain A Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket, 2001, The Shining, and x, where x = another film by him.

Fair call. Way to just rain on my parade :o)

If I have to choose a non stan kubrick movie to substitute 1 of my choices for your listing pleasures it would be...

Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas. Makes me want to hire a Pink Cadillac and drive through a desert with my samoan lawyer. Are we still in Bat Country...?

Just Kubrik? Or any director? Ridley Scott might be another one for that rule.
