The interview from the movie: "Boiler Room" will be forever etched into my memory. It's a cool movie, but you've gotta check out the interview scene if you haven't seen it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvICN8DNMpY

Dude, you didn't follow the instructions. I posted the list twice, with and without stars. Please quote the list that does not have stars, and put one star by films you're already aware of, but haven't seen but want to see, and put two stars by the films you've already seen.

Great moment. I remember renting Fight Club on VHS when I was like 13. I watched the movie 5-6 times in two days.

 The first time I watched the narrator realizing he and Tyler is the same person , will never get that back.

In the list quoted below, from here: http://tenbestfilms.blogspot.ca/2012/06/ten-best-films-top-one-hundred-films-of.html , we have what one has called the 100 greatest films of all time. Everybody has opinions, but it is a good list. I ask you to quote it, and put two stars beside the films you have seen, and one star beside the films that are definitely on your watch list to see.

There's a lot else. Believe me. A lot else.

The Matrix Lobby scene, what else?

"Back up, send back up"

I have many films and many moments which are my favorite need too much time for this to do this here

Dude! You saw Days of Being Wild? Do you realize that two other films on the list are essentially sequels to that film? Taken together, they amount to an amazing experience. I can't watch this youtube video featuring the song Perfidia without getting goosebumps of pleasure rolling up and down my spine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtkjXu-kEds

Do yourself a big favor and watch In the Mood for Love and 2046, the films which come after it.

Also, I would recommend that you immediately seek out the film Yi Yi on the list above. Truly a masterpiece. You have no idea.

Wow, that's a lot of movies I have not seen. I'll be reloading my netflix que. And as I read other peoples selections my list grows. For example "children of Men". That was a cool movie. Also, "Until the end of the world" is a hard to find and very different movie. Thanks for sharing these!

That is a good movie!

SHAUN OF THE DEAD!!!

Children of Men
this movie has absolutely ground-breaking camera work

3min shot "Car scene", no cut
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zkb0SecL-9I

Historically one of the best shots of the last decade:
"Uprising scene" (whole version is a much longer steadicam shot around 10 min again no cut!!!)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twcKoAQ7HIg
it even got the SOC Award 2012 by society of camera operators...(background info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uvq3fKgvzro)


and of course the "Cease Fire" scene at the end. Emotionally one of my alltime favourites moments of western cinema. (you need to watch the whole movie to understand the culmination in this scene though)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBzWTIexszQ

That is hard. Here is a list of random movies I like and can think of.


Dreams
The matrix
Beasts of the southern wild
Natural born killers
Apocalypse now
Barton Fink
Saving private Ryan
Mongol
Slumdog Millionaire

I could go on forever. My favorites are often movies that I have not heard of, then find on netflix.
