I see some great movies listed here, some pretty good movies and a few I couldn't sit trough, but probably the best movie ever made was The Sand Pebbles, Steve McQueesn.
Maybe I misunderstood you post, but I preceived you were looking for UNIQUE movies. While many listed are very good, there is nothing especially UNIQUE about them.
Apocalypto is unique that the dialog is in Mayan
The Passion of Christ is unique that the dialog is in Aramaic
Letters from Iwo Jima is unique that the dialog is in Japanese
To Hell and Back is unique because the hero was really the hero

Anyway, no matter.[:)]
No I don't think you misunderstood my post. Unique is maybe a little subjective so my original list was put out there to help give an idea of movies which kind of stood apart for lets say a surreal type of quality. The kind of movie that when you are done watching it you think to yourself "wow that's something different" or "I never thought of it that way before".
There is no penalty for listing any favorite movies and since this is purely for the fun of thinking of movies worth watching and getting ideas for expanding a video library it is all good. I had to stop myself from adding To kill a Mockingbird, which is one of my all time favorites, because there was no strange/bizarre quality to it. Upon reflection I think I may have to add Clerks to the list.[:D]

And the 'raid on Entebbe*' docu-production, done in both the U.K. and Israel and made for Television!!

Best, Joe
