(REAL NAME)   
 
The Shawshank Redemption [DVD] [1995]
1.  The Shawshank Redemption [DVD] [1995] 
The list author says:
  "Another film that is already considered a classic.  Found at the top of many 'best film' polls and justifiably so.  An uplifting film about the power of hope."

£5.87   Used & New from: £1.99
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (40 customer reviews)

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Extended Edition) [DVD] [2001]
5.  The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Extended Edition) [DVD] [2001] DVD ~ Elijah Wood
The list author says:
  "Despite the focus on effects and scenery (which are stunning), it is the performances that make this film for me.  The friendship of Frodo and Sam; and the love of Aragorn and Arwen are felt deeply"
£8.39   Used & New from: £1.59
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (168 customer reviews)

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (Extended Edition) [DVD] [2002]

Delicatessen [DVD] [1991]
7.  Delicatessen [DVD] [1991] DVD ~ Dominique Pinon
The list author says:
  "Like Besson (see above), Jean-Pierre Jeunet is a wildly inventive film-maker.  This one is sweet and funny and totally, totally bizarre."
Used & New from: £0.41
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (40 customer reviews)

Amelie [DVD] [2001]
8.  Amelie [DVD] [2001] DVD ~ Audrey Tautou
The list author says:
  "Another of my all-time favourites from Jeunet.  I just wish I understood French as I'm sure a little of the humour is lost in subtitles.  A film to remind you that life is wonderful"
£4.77   Used & New from: £1.98
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (202 customer reviews)

Being John Malkovich [DVD] [2000]
9.  Being John Malkovich [DVD] [2000] DVD ~ John Cusack
The list author says:
  "Impossible to describe in 200 characters.  'A puppeteer finds a tunnel into John Malkovich's mind', but that doesn't begin to express the insane genius of this totally unpredictable film."
£3.45   Used & New from: £0.01
3.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (51 customer reviews)

Three Colours Blue [DVD] [1993]
10.  Three Colours Blue [DVD] [1993] DVD ~ Juliette Binoche
The list author says:
  "A very deliberate film that takes an intimate look at one woman's reaction to the death of her family.  She attempts to find freedom from her old life, and from the world around her"
£5.93   Used & New from: £2.00
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (32 customer reviews)

Three Colours White [DVD] [1994]
11.  Three Colours White [DVD] [1994] DVD ~ Zbigniew Zamachowski
The list author says:
  "A rather cold film, with some very black humour.  A barber is emasculated by his wife, divorced, and bankrupted.  He sets about plotting a revenge that will restore the equality in their relationship"
£5.97   Used & New from: £0.66
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (17 customer reviews)

Three Colours Red [DVD] [1994]
12.  Three Colours Red [DVD] [1994] DVD ~ Irčne Jacob
The list author says:
  "Shows that when taken too far, brotherhood can become dangerously intrusive."
£4.90   Used & New from: £2.16
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (25 customer reviews)

Rashomon [1950] [DVD]
13.  Rashomon [1950] [DVD] DVD ~ Toshirō Mifune

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace [DVD] [1999]
14.  Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace [DVD] [1999] DVD ~ Ewan McGregor
The list author says:
  "Not totally sure why I own this film.  In some ways the idea of Star Wars is much more appealing than the films themselves.  But take them as good, fun, movies for kids and you won't be disappointed"
£29.99   Used & New from: £7.54
3.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (307 customer reviews) | 3 customer discussions

Romeo + Juliet [DVD] [1996]
15.  Romeo + Juliet [DVD] [1996] 
The list author says:
  "Stylish and garish, loud and musical - not things one usually associates with Shakespeare, but this film brings the classic love story bang up to date.  Claire Danes is perfectly cast as Juliet"
£3.74   Used & New from: £0.59
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (139 customer reviews) | 2 customer discussions

Moulin Rouge -- Two-Disc Set [DVD] [2001]
16.  Moulin Rouge -- Two-Disc Set [DVD] [2001] DVD ~ Nicole Kidman
The list author says:
  "Moulin Rouge is a musical that uses pop songs to connect with the audience - unfortunately my musical knowledge is so poor that, for me, it falls a little flat.  Visually stunning though!"
£7.99   Used & New from: £0.01
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (223 customer reviews) | 5 customer discussions

The Straight Story [DVD] [1999]
17.  The Straight Story [DVD] [1999] DVD ~ Richard Farnsworth

American Beauty [DVD] [2000]
18.  American Beauty [DVD] [2000] DVD ~ Kevin Spacey
The list author says:
  "There are no good guys and bad guys in this film.  Every character is  horrible and thoughtless and fragile and loveable and beautiful"
£4.05   Used & New from: £0.99
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (158 customer reviews) | 3 customer discussions

Road to Perdition [2002] [DVD]
19.  Road to Perdition [2002] [DVD] DVD ~ Tom Hanks
The list author says:
  "This film lacks the sparkle and inventiveness of American Beauty.  Instead the mood is sombre, and deliberate, and you get wrapped up in the film like a thick cosy blanket."
£3.77   Used & New from: £0.01
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (48 customer reviews) | 5 customer discussions

Memento [2000] [DVD]
20.  Memento [2000] [DVD] DVD ~ Guy Pearce
The list author says:
  "The classic thriller is turned on it's head as the film plays out in reverse.  The twists and turns are endlessly surprising, despite knowing exactly what happens next."
£4.58   Used & New from: £1.08
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (115 customer reviews) | 7 customer discussions
