It tends to change with my day, but the favorite is Serenity

1) Serenity (Ms Glau kicks butt!)
2) Blade Runner
3) Godfather (1 & 2)
4) Cruel Intentions (SMG!)
5) Underworld (1 & 2)
6) Dusk to Dawn (love Juliette Lewis)
7) Rocky Horror
8) Innocent Blood
9) The Graduate
10) Buffy the Vampire Slayer (not a great movie but without it, no TV series)

I would have Chinatown, La Strada and Treasure of the Sierra Madre on there. How about The Last Picture Show and maybe even the Exorcist? Dr. Strangelove? Definitely Paths of Glory.

And, oh yeah, Morty's favorite.......The Imposters.

Paths of Glory, Chinatown and La Strada?

Don't know if you've seen Journey's End but that would be on my top 20.

La Strada.... greatest film ever.

I always thought Juliet of the Spirits was comparable to La Strada. Even Nights in Cabiria.

Love Nights of Cabiria, Juliet of the Spriits was good but not one of my favorites.

Have you seen The White Sheik? I love that......

I also like Wings of Desire a lot but I wouldn't rate it that highly. I like Wenders. I probably prefer Paris Texas.

I think the director of Dream Lives of Angels has a new movie coming out by the way.

I've seen every Fellini movie except Roma ( and maybe the Ship Sails On ).

The White Sheik is his first movie.....right?

I think so, or one of his first.

Very sweet.

Roma wasn't great.

That's the one about the friends hanging out, right?

It's great. It's also probably one of the more copied movies ever made.
