Heres just a few that comes to mind……….

The Shawshank Redemption – Morgan Freeman I agree should've got an oscar

Snatch – very funny Brad Pitt irish gypsy accent(plus he acts good and not tries to play on pretty boy image like others)

Lock stock and two smoking barrels and Pulp fiction– very funny and like idea of merging many stories into one

The Fight Club – Norton and Brad Pitt excellent good storyline (infact most of Norton films he plays the psycho very well like in Primal Fear with Richard Gere)

Once upon a time in America – what can I say brilliant

Goodfellas – What can I say brilliant

Skool Daze – Very good message

The Green Mile - emotional

Amistad – film didn’t get the credit it deserves at all I agree

Jagged Edge – who remembers this one with Glenn Close

Malcolm X and The Panthers - every household should have a copy

Matrix (the first one) - woke a lot of people up made them go hhmmmmmm I wonder if .....

Smile Orange - best comedy film to come out of Jamaica

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon - women kicking arse YEAH!

Druken Master and Snake in the Monkey shadow - corny but CLASSICS Kung Fu - the old ones are the best

The Sound of Music – ONLY JOKING blkbrukteet

Mafdet: Yu too lie lie..

You know you're well into the Sound of music, South pacific and Seven brides for seven brothers.. now accept your failings and tek yu tings gal!!!blkdevillol

Btw when it comes to Kung fu movies surely 'fist a fury' must ,must be the daddy here...picture the scene as Bruce steps into the opponent couldron and tell them that the chinese are NOT the sick men of Asia and thenproceeeds to hand out a sound spanking to one and all.. Or the end sequence when he has to manners the Russian fighter who ting seh him big...come on now these are classic scenes..

Cashmoney: I have to agree, Menace to society, South Central and Juice are all ground breaking classic examples of African American cinema..I would add New jack City as yet another execellent example...

What do people think about about American history X ?

A very disturbing and controversial film! (excellent acting by Edward Norton again!).  It made me wonder if someone could change like that?

Kunjufu I must check it out then.

 

@ All

Yesterday I just kicked back and watched in my opinion two of the most funniest movies ever Rush Hour 1 and A Fish Called Wanda, these films always have me crying pure eye water with laughter everytime I watch them.
