From what you've listed definitely Shawshank Redemption, though i do not recollect Citizen Kane. On a side note, LOTR was a one long-ass boring movie. Gone With The Wind, boring as well, and I am glad it's gone and the wind as well.

My fav. movie must be Hero, and that is for few reasons. Amazing imagery, symbolic meaning of many scenes, and had a brilliant reference to calligraphy, plus i loved the guqin soundtrack. But what i was completely mesmerised with were vast sceneries and the undefinable feeling of peace, lurking quietly in the "emptiness" of nature. Great movie, especially when watched in Chinese.

Another one must be Some Like it Hot, How to Murder Your Wife (favoirite movie of Basil Fawlty lol), and The Great Race with Jack Lemon. I love that guy.

From fantasy movies I think it will be the Avatar, even though the story line had no fireworks in it, i loved the world that was created, especially the flying dragons. Ah, well, you know, the kid inside me has won. But he is my favourite kid so thats quite all right ;-p

From action movies, bah not easy, maybe Heat, from older ones - Dog Day Afternoon was all right, Casino and Good Fellas were great too, Pulp Fiction as well. I really like Private Ryan. Too hard to decide.

Horrors and Thrillers, well thats my wife's department really, she can watch Saw and eat raw fish at the same time, but i remember that the exorcist scared the hell out of me. Also Shining. Nicholson is one of my favourite actors. That insanity and unstable nature of his is brilliant.

From TV series definitely Allo Allo, Fawlty Towers, i am sorry, Fawlty Titties, and Only Fools and Horses.

Recently, there are no good movies being made...sadly. There were so many good movies made before, Patch Adams, Wag the Dog, Spirited Away, nearly any Pixar creation, The Game,etc., simply too many to list.

I need to watch Moon, i ve heard it's pretty good. I can see it on your list as well.
