4.  City Of God (Cidade De Deus) [DVD] [2003] DVD ~ Alexandre Rodrigues
The list author says:

Motorcycle Diaries, the [DVD]
5.  Motorcycle Diaries, the [DVD] DVD ~ Gael Garcia Bernal

7.  Forrest Gump (2 Disc Special Collector's Edition) [1994] [DVD] DVD ~ Tom Hanks

Heat [DVD] [1995]
12.  Heat [DVD] [1995] DVD ~ Al Pacino
The list author says:
  "The best Cops 'n Robbers film ever made.  The epic story and Dante Spinotti's cinematography are standouts, but the Michael Mann 'cool' factor is exploited to the full here.  Needs remastering though."

13.  The Insider [DVD] [2000] DVD ~ Russell Crowe

Iris [DVD] [2002]
14.  Iris [DVD] [2002] DVD ~ Judi Dench
The list author says:
  "An art film.  Four sterling performances, James Horner's best score and one harrowingly depressing story later... and it's still one of my favourite films."
Used & New from: £1.60

The Lion King (2 Disc Special Edition) [1994] [DVD]
15.  The Lion King (2 Disc Special Edition) [1994] [DVD] DVD ~ Matthew Broderick
The list author says:
  "Disney's finest hour.  I guess because Africa is the spiritual home of humanity, or perhaps because the story's bullet-proof - either way, it's the perfect film for a child growing up."

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Extended Edition Box Set) [DVD]
16.  The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Extended Edition Box Set) [DVD] DVD ~ Elijah Wood

The Matrix [1999] [DVD]
17.  The Matrix [1999] [DVD] DVD ~ Keanu Reeves

Monty Python and the Holy Grail -- Two-disc set [DVD]
18.  Monty Python and the Holy Grail -- Two-disc set [DVD] DVD ~ Graham Chapman
The list author says:
  "Python's best film.  Takes the pomposity of King Arthur and throws in witty and silly gags in equal measure.  A great cult classic."
£8.35   Used & New from: £0.03

19.  Schindler's List - Special Edition [DVD] (1993) DVD ~ Liam Neeson
The list author says:
  "Beginning to lose its' impact due to outside circumstances, but its' importance and relevance must not be overlooked, despite the emerging hostilities in the World.  The film's a fitting tribute."

Seven - 2 Disc Set [DVD]
20.  Seven - 2 Disc Set [DVD] DVD ~ Brad Pitt

Shadowlands [DVD]
21.  Shadowlands [DVD] DVD ~ John Wood
The list author says:
  "Perhaps the film I have the greatest spiritual attatchement to.  It's moving, yes - but I really admire its' subtlety.  Hopkins and Winger are top class, and the locales are English to the core."
