          I remember seing that when it first came out, but I can't for the life of me remember what it's about. I just sort of remember a scene where they evict squatters from a building ?

          I can't do a top 10, I'm not even sure I could do a top 3. I like too many things. I promise to try, but I'll have to think about it

              Movies, and all very mainstream:

              (Not in Any Order...I think)

              1. After Life (Koreeda)
              2. Notorious (Hitchcock)
              3. Blade Runner (Scott)
              4. Yi Yi (Yang)
              5. Spirited Away (Miyazaki)
              6. Big Sleep (Hawks)
              7. Rushmore/Bottle Rocket (Anderson)
              8. Die Hard (McTiernman)
              9. Lawrence (Dean)
              10. Aliens/T2 (Cameron)

              I like asplosions

              Top 10s are frustrating because they feel really generic/safe

              Therefore, #24-33 randomly

              24. Aladdin (Disney)
              25. Dragons Forever (Sammo Hung!)
              26. Saved (Danelly who?)
              27. Sanso the Bailiff (Mizoguchi)
              28. The Matrix ()
              29. Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo (Mamoru)
              30. The Fountian (Aronofsky)
              31. Infernal Affairs (Lau)
              32. Wag the Dog (levinson)
              33. The Third Man (Reed)

              Feels pretty silly listing directors on the second list as none of them are really auteurs. (Save perhaps Sammo Hung)

              Short Stories: (Again No Order)

              1. The Dandelion Girl (Young)
              2. Murder Mysteries (Gaiman)
              3. On Seeing the 100% perfect.. (Murakami)
              4. The Lottery (Jackson)
              5. The Fall of the House of Usher (Poe)
              6. Mademoiselle Fifi (Maupassant)
              7. Araby (Joyce)
              8. I, Robot (Asimov)
              9. Machine Sex (Dorsey)
              10. Bears Discover Fire (Bisson)

                          this is a good one

                          it's such a great crutch for boredom not unlike smoking - after you get into the habit it becomes a second nature to the point that you can't really remember what life was like before it.

                            a slight bump

                            in addition to exposing this thread to newer members, i'd also like to hear from older members who already have a list here, and what they'd change after the last three or four years.

                            literature.

                            Djuna Barnes - Nightwood
                            Maurice Blanchot - Thomas the Obscure
                            Mikhail Bulgakov - The Master and Margarita
                            Witold Gombrowicz - Diaries
                            Lao Tzu - Tao Te Ching
                            Henry Miller - Tropic of Cancer
                            Toshio Mori - The Eggs of the World (short)
                            Moishe Nadir - From Man to Man
                            Mark Twain - Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
                            Francois Rabelais - Gargantua and Pantagruel

                            remember, books are more interesting than movies, and movies are more interesting than music, and if you disagree prove me wrong with a list
                            ain't no beauty queens in this locality
