You had me at 'Big Lebowski.'
Here's the top 50 according to a blogger who seems to have good taste.
If you ever get the chance, watch "Life is Beautiful." It's number 49 on the list, and should be much higher in my opinion. It's an Italian movie. (Yes, that means subtitles). It's a surprising film, because it's a comedy that surrounds the Holocaust. HOLD ON - don't get mad. It's in good taste. It's about a Jewish man who gets sent to a concentration camp during the Holocaust. He manages to sneak his son in with him and keeps him hidden. In fact, he turns everything into a game to hide what's going on to protect his sons innocence, and keep him from getting sent to the camp himself. It sounds far fetched, but the movie is unbelievably done.
