Only one??? I gotta say at least three...without any order...

- Even Dwarfs Started Small (W.Herzog)
- Down by Law (J.Jarmusch)
- À nous la liberté (R.Clair)

It's a toss up between Anchorman, Underworld, Fallen, and Shallow Hal. I'm not Ebert, I like what I like.

I sat here and gave this some thought because it's so damn hard to pick just one, but I'm gonna go with Platoon. Sideways is moving up the list fast though.

It's a toss up between Kill Bill Vol 1&2, Leon: The Professional & Mermaids

Close Encounters of the Third Kind followed closely by the Abyss.

A Clockwork Orange
Cinema Paradiso
