Here's a "Top Twenty" list (films)

[dean_martin]

My "favorites" list changes depending on the mood I'm in and the genre I'm interested in at the time, but here goes:

1. 8 1/2
2. Blue Velvet
3. The Bicycle Thief
4. Once upon a Time in the West
5. For a Few Dollars More
6. Fistful of Dynamite (a/k/a Duck, You Sucker)
7. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
8. tie - Waiting for Guffman/Best in Show
10. This is Spinal Tap
11. A Clockwork Orange
12. Touch of Evil
13. Planet of the Apes (original)
14. Sunset Blvd.
15. East of Eden
16. Baby Doll
17. Pulp Fiction
18. The Matrix
19. Fifth Element
20. The Player

On another day I can see dropping 18, 19 & 20 and adding Full Metal Jacket, High Fidelity, Twin Peaks Fire Walk with Me, Camille 2000 and/or Lost in Translation.

Hey Dean Martin!

I dig your list!

Haven't seen some of them, but stuff like Spinal Tap, Guffman and Best in show are also top films for me. I, like you, change my mind depending in mood.

Once Upon a Time in the West is on my "must see" list, but haven't got around to it yet. I have some music from that film (I think it's Ennio Morricone). Matrix and Shawshank I also have yet to see.
