I've always wanted to see Clockwork Orange. Love the director (would spell his name poorly), and heard it was really good. One day it will happen............i hope.

I always like to watch A clockwork Orange when I feel like something strange or just a nasty urge for A bit of the ultra violence.

Don't forget Dr. Stranglove. I love that movie. There is some great comedy in there. Also, Peter Sellers is fantastic in almost every scene (and by that i mean he almost in every scene in the movie playing three parts.) Kubrick is a genuis of filmmaking

Spinal Tap... one of the best...

Another good one would be 2001: A Space Odyssey... and who could forget The Wall (not the best movie, but still good)?

Then there's also The Rutles: All You Need is Cash, and the Monty Python films... and if you really like Spinal Tap, I recommend Fear of a Black Hat, Spinal Tap except with Gangster Rap, VERY VERY VERY VERY funny.

Anthing dramatic with a dash of sci-fi, violence, black humour and kitsch

Here is a small sample of my personal favourites:

  • Bladerunner (Ridley Scott - Director)
  • 2001: A Space Odessey ( and all Kubrick directed movies)
  • Kill Bill vol1 & 2 (all Quentin Tarantino directed movies)
  • Fargo (love the Coen Brothers as movie directors)
  • American Beauty (Sam Mendes - Director)
  • Apocalypse Now (Francis Ford Cappola - Director)

And of course being patriotic : The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Peter Jackson - Director)

You aren't! They're great.

I love the"Not being seen"-sketch, and the Italian lesson, the "Cheese Shop" and......(ok, stop )
And their running gags, lovely

But, do you know "Fawlty Towers"? A great comedy-series!

Ok, the films: For me Kubrick is the greatest director. Dr. Strangelove is my favourite of him

and "The Godfather" (Coppola) is also great
