Well I agree with alot of the movies but Ill add a few more- serious movies, and 80's comedies are my faves.
Andrei Rubylev by Tarkovsky is my fav of all time.
Stalker, and The Sacrifice, as well as the Mirror by Tarkovsky all encapsulate the height of cinema in my opinion.
The Seven Seal, and WIld Strawberries by Bergman.
Sleeper, Bananas, and Everything You Wanted to know about sEx but where afraid to ask- by Woody Allen
The three colors series by Krzysztof Kieslowski. Also the Decalogue is quite good
Huge Peter Sellers fan- Mouse that Roared, The Fox, Being There
I really enjoy the nihilistic Dirty Harry series- and think it is far better- especially the first one- than people think.
Really any well written older movie, Lawrence of Arabia, Witness to the Prosecution, Double Indemnity etc Amazing how good hollywood writing used to be- now there are so many holes, contrived scenes, and just an utter lack of anything other than a sentimental point in even the best hollywood movie-
Other funny movies
Planes, Trains and Automobiles,
Stripes
ANy National Lampoon Vacation movie
The Great Outdoors
Revenge of the Nerds 1 and II
Spies like US
Fletch
The Jerk
Caddyshack
DIrty Rotten Scoundrels
Groundhog Day
Uncle Buck
Grumpy Old Men
When the trees attack in the last Lord of the rings- I was cracking up- dude the trees are fucking fighting- ridiculous
I did just see 28 days later- the first half of the movie was quite good- but when the whole military thing started- the writing and logic went south- so he turns into a worse monster than the army- the women come back to him- and they get rescued by another part of the army- terrible.

Great thread...
Yeah, I'll definitely have to agree that "28 Days Later" was great. Along with "The Ring," this is one of the most ingenious(though not necessarily original) horror films to be released in a long, long time.
Anyway, My personal list of top-ten favorite films has been decided for quite a long time now, so here it is:
1. "The Godfather": My personal favorite, I never get bored of this.
2. "Casablanca": Quite possibly the greatest love story ever told through cinema, unforgettable.
3. "Citizen Kane": One of the most clever screenplays ever written, another timeless masterpiece.
4. "A Clockwork Orange": R.I.P. Stanley Kubrick, one of the most brilliant minds in the history of film...anyway, if you haven't seen this movie, do so now!
5. "Forrest Gump": Shut up, I love this movie.
6. "Seven"
7. "Rocky"
8. "The Crying Game"
9. "Edward Scissorhands"
10. "Waking Life"
Some other favorites include:
Mulholland Drive
Memento
Hard-Eight
Boogie Nights
Magnolia
Punch-Drunk Love
Adaptation
Kids
Bully
Happiness
Storytelling
Welcome to the Dollhouse
Requiem for a Dream
American Beauty
Life is Beautiful
Irreversible
Contact
Chasing Amy
Clerks

Yeah, I agree about Fulci but come on, he had a zombie fighting a shark for God's sake.
As for Argento, I simply find nothing appealing about his work.Somehow he developed this "Master of Horror" tag by releasing sub-par, cinematic AIDS like Pumpkin Head and The Church.With that said, his daughter is a choice piece of ass.
I am a gentleman.

I really fancy a good british movie.. It wasn't scary or anything just hm cozy in a way. When I saw it I realized I want to be in that situation. This life is boring. Hope some dangerous-virus-infected-ape bites someone so everyone gets all zombie and the world stops and it's all about killing and running to survive.. he he
It reminded alot about Day Of The Living Dead though

Argento has nothing to do with Pumpkinhead and he only co-wrote The Church (and while I will always love that movie for it's bizarre sense of humor, it really is just a mishmash of ideas and was originally going to be a sequal to the Demons movies until Soavi decided to direct it).
If you want definitive Argento check out Opera.
My opinion of course- but two of the best hollywood movies I ve seen in years are now justout on DVD- The 25th hour by Spike Lee, and Adaptation by Charlie Kaufman- Spike Jonze
