Think i'll side-step out of this thread... I would end up being lost in here forever agreeing/disagreeing/adding to the list!


Didn't see any Romero films listed tho.

[Red Velvet]

thanks so much guys! i can't believe i forgot some of those films - especially LOST IN TRANSLATION wtf? was i thinking? but that was the point of the thread - to prod my retarded memory ;D

[teppic]

Serenity.


Even tho i missed it at the cinema thanks to a combo of being ill at the wrong time, and my mum's stoopid husband screwing up my last chance to see it before i went to Belgium for two weeks... I said i'd crawl over broken glass to see this film and now i have to wait for the damn DVD release (avoiding spoilers all the time).


But i trust in the Whedon! I worship the Whedon! The Whedon can do no wrong!

[Mina]

you forgot Run Lola Run!! shame shame. and The Princess + The Warrior.
