Films:
1.) Evil Dead II
2.) Dr. Strangelove
3.) 2001: A Space Oddessy
4.) The Big Lebowski
5.) Pulp Fiction
6.) Grave of the Fireflies
7.) Rango
8.) Se7en
9.) John Carpenter's The Thing (1980's version)
10.) The Departed

SkepticalMetal:

Don't forget about The Bicycle Thief.

Yes, it pains the heart to leave DeSica and Rossellini off of such a list. I need at least another ten slots. Sure, Bicycle Thief could be there, or Garden Of The Finzi Continis.

I think this has got to be one of the most brutal scenes in cinematic history.

Or perhaps it's the Russian roulette scene from The Deer Hunter.

@SoNowThen Quite a mature list, my former film professors would love it. Mine is less refined.

Troll 2

Dr. Strangelove

The Warriors

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Being John Malkovich

Tears of the Sun

Fantasia

Man on Fire

But the greatest scene of all time:

I suggest Akira Kurosawa if you like Kubrik. Makes me wish I could speak Japanese.

Funnily enough I've known Japanese people who said they needed Japanese subtitles to watch Kurosawa's movies.

@OP: Yeah the Must See Movie Thread was about that...

It however, became a pain ###$ because you can no longer edit the origional post... then you make another big one updating things, and can no longer edit that.

So I got over it; and that's about that.
