Favorite Movies

[Shigeru]

I know there's a thread for what you watched recently, but I really love watching movies and am curious what the rest of this board enjoys. I think I remember there being a big Darren Aronofsky following (not my cup of tea), but I am sure there's more to it than that!

So what are some of your favorite movies? Feel free to debate why my favorites are stupid or ignorant. =)

Lord of the Rings, Last Samurai, Braveheart, Gladiator, The Patriot, Kingdom of Heaven, King Arthur, Cool Runnings, Memento, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Count of Monte Cristo, Road to Perdition, Boondock Saints, The Departed, Munich, Vertigo, Pirates of the Caribbean, Secondhand Lions, Rudy, The Lion King, The Illusionist, American History X, City Lights.

There's a good list to show my favorites. There's so many more. And yes, I am a sucker for historical epics.
