I vote Seven Samurai.

Or Ghost World.

Nothin plebby about that by the by, every cunt hasn't seen somethin at some point.

Onken

Night Mother and The Fire Within have a common theme. Every time I'm depressed I watch The Fire Within religiously which happens quite a lot. Its my most comforting film when I'm feeling down. The 23rd of July (next Thursday) is also a significant date in the film.

Raiders of the Lost Arc
Alien
Big Trouble In Little China
The Godfather

There's loads more that deserve a shout, last time I checked I had upwards of 50 favourite films of all time. Can't pick one.

East of Eden

I was thinking about Ghost World when doing my list, its a nice film. I'd recommend American Splendor as well, which I preferred.
