I surprised myself with the large dash of magic and fantastical vision in my list. I promise I'll make a gritty realist Top 10 to atone...
The Dark Crystal (Henson), Triplets of Belleville (Chomet), City of Lost Children (Caro & Jeunet), Chinatown (Polanski), Down By Law (Jarmusch), Dead Man (Jarmusch), Fargo (Coens), Singin' In The Rain (Donen), Cabaret (Fosse), Monty Python and The Holy Grail (Gilliam).
Just Missed Out: Nil By Mouth, Coal Miner's Daughter, The Life Of Brian, Laputa: The Castle In The Sky (Miyazaki), Wizard of Oz, American Movie, Magnolia, Henry and June and, thanks to Screen Sect, Matewan, which I'd love to see again.
I'd like a thread on Noble Failures. My vote: From Dusk Til Dawn.
