The award winning Robert Enrico movie, "Incident At Owl Creek" (1962) in which the whole film of someone slipping the noose and running for his life ends with him not having done so.

Pulp Fiction with John Travolta, Samuel L Jackson, Uma Thurman ,Rosanne Arquette and Bruce Willes.Directed by the man himself Quentin Tarantino.A blood and guts film .Get it while you can.

Nobody mentioned "The Great Escape" what a superb film??

Other superb movies are imho :-

Shawshank Redemption & Braveheart

and one I have not seen, but reputation preceeds it
"A Wonderful Life", must get around to watching in one day.

A Wonderful Life is superb. It sounds like it is going to be awful, but it a masterpiece and all the better for being in black and white.

oh good thread. i find it very difficult to pick a favourite as i have a different favourite to suit whatever mood i'm in.

godfather 2, love the scenes in sicily
goodfellas, a fantastic character study
raging bull, great dialogue/scenes between de niro and pesci
midnight run, a very, very underated comedy
kingpin, makes me wee.
the man with two brains, steve martin when he was funny.
moulin rouge, as close as i'll get to watching a musical.
field of dreams, sentimental crap but always makes me blub like a baby
amelie, wonderful soundtrack
cinema paradiso, powerfully evocative.

i really could go on and on.

Whale walker

My wonderful life

The bridges of madison county (also basically anything that's directed by Clint Eastwood)
