Favourite films?

Pulp Fiction
Seven
The Usual Suspects (my all time favourite)
Shawshank Redemption
Leon
Ronin
The Dark Knight (Heath Ledger's portrayal of The Joker)
The Hunt for Red October

Not many I know but I believe they are quality movies.

Seven was good.

I liked the Usual Suspects, but it's one of those movies that you can really appreciate the first time.

Leon (or the Professional) is really good. I can't believe Luc Besson did that movie and The Fifth Element (another fave).

Ronin - I haven't watched it. I just can't get into it. I'm not sure why.

Both The Dark Knight & Batman Begins didn't appeal to me for some reason. I think I like Aaron Eckhart's Two Face better than Ledger's Joker. I'm not really sure what the problem has been for me with them.

I also need to add The Prestige to my list. It's Wolverine vs. Batman.

Reign of Fire - Since I'm now on my Christian Bale list. I LOVED that movie. I don't watch it very often, but it's a lot of fun. I almost didn't recognize Matthew McConaughy (I know I must have misspelled his name) until about his third scene.

I just realized why my wife loves Reign of Fire as much as I do. She has a thing for Christian Bale, Matthew McConaughey (I cheated so I know I spelled it right that time), and Gerard Butler.
