    Sans Soleil is a very interesting documentary about Japan, I saw it back in the 90s. La Jetee didn't impress me in comparison. Yeh Mirror has alot of poetry to it which is what I like. Of course Paradjanov who you list does too, in fact Pomegranates is about a poet from what I remember.

    The Tree of Life has already become my favorite movie. Move aside Shawshank, your reign is over.

    Very difficult to say, especially since I rarely watch movies at all:

    1. Pixar (all of it)
    2. It's a Wonderful Life

    After that no particular order:

    Father of the Bride (both)
    Star Wars (the first three)
    The Pianist
    The Cinderella Man
    That Darn Cat
    Blackbeard's Ghost
    Baby's Day Out

    I can't think of many others, I'm more of a book guy.

    I'm pretty sure it's my favorite as well. See it in theaters everyone, before it's too late! =)

    It's a real masterpiece in my opinion, but even if you don't care for it the combination of visuals and classical music is worth the price of admission alone. The soundtrack includes Couperin, Smetana, Bach, Brahms, Gorecki, Holst, and a bunch of others.

    StlukesguildOhio and Dr. Mike are obviously people of class and taste, judging by their choice of films. I concur exactly with both of their lists, but would add "The Pianist" as a tour de force film of recent times.
