I loved Moulin Rouge too, and some of the others on your list you've not seen, but they don't really seem "you" although Witness is excellent and men in Black is just funny! See you at the weekend for "Le Tour" Fargo is a great film, as is Memento.

Well, Moulin Rouge is one of my all-time favorites; This is Spinal Tap is a hoot, but I don't understand why they put Waiting for Guffman from the same filmmakers and not Best in Show, which is so much better; and I can't help it, I just think Austen Powers is huge fun.

So is Edward Scissorhands, despite Winona Ryder! Y Tu Mamá También is really good too! As is Brokeback Mountain. Paul loves Rushmore, but I just thought it was stupid..

(Which I also love, I am not ashamed to admit it!)

Edward Scissorhands (1990) It's my favorite modern fairytale and surprisingly heartbreaking. 26. Hoop Dreams (1994) Documentaries don't get any better than this tale of 2 teens with NBA aspirations. Their parallel paths are fascinating, and I believe the DVD features recent commentary by both subjects. 52. The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad (1988) 79. Waiting for Guffman (1996) Both are delightfully goofy, and Guffman is definitely Christopher Guest's crew's best. Happy watching! If I was you, I’d Netflix:
