Great list, I need to watch After Hours again I think, I've only ever seen it once.
shareLove all these.

Seven Samurai
(this list compiled by how much I enjoy them rather than what I would consider "best made" or "highest quality")
Some candidates just miss the list mostly due to the fact that I have not watched them in over 20 years and need to reevaluate them. The Sting for instance.
1. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004)
2. Chariots of Fire (1981)
3. Avalon (1990)
4. Local Hero (1983)
5. Inside Out (2015)
6. Dunkirk (2017)
7. Green Card (1990)
8. Silver Streak (1976)
9. Quicksilver (1986)
10. Epic (2013)
You get ***** for #3. Avalon (1990)
Great pick!
This is Barry Levinson's best film.
Although most people prefer Diner, Avalon is by far Levinson's best film.
He's in his late 70s now, but lost his touch as a filmmaker after his time working in television (Homicide: Life on the Streets).
Ironic, considering how television is depicted as a cultural disruptor in Avalon.
I think most prefer "Rainman".
But Diner is great. All 3 are.
Sky Captain is an unusual selection.
shareWell, we don't have similar taste is all I can say!

I heard the name - I had to look who the director is. He's done some decent films.
Aliens 3 - No
Seven - Hated this film.
The Game? - I'm the only person who liked this film.
Fight Club - It was interesting.
Panic Room - You can't go wrong with Jodie Foster. 7 out of 10 stars.
Zodiac - I'll have to watch it again.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) Very good film.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - It just laid there. No.
The Social Network - NO
I don't care much for Zodiac. I found it long and boring and I feel like Im the only one on earth.
I also like The game so you're not alone.
Panic room sucked.
I like these.
