	g1pp4l's Rating	My Rating
1	Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998, R)
2	Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind (2004, R)
3	A Clockwork Orange (1971, R)
4	Mulholland Drive (2001, R)
5	Waking Life (2001, R) Have you ever felt a movie was made just for you?
6	Spirited Away (Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi) (2001, PG)
7	Sukiyaki Western Django (2008, R) The Spaghetti-Western gets back to its real home, and takes Tarantino with it, physically and spiritually. Masterpiece.
8	Visitor Q (Bijitâ Q) (2002, R)
9	James and the Giant Peach (1996, PG) Very good movie, with fantastic animation, but what I really want to say here -to some people- is that Tim Burton didn't direct it. Dissapointed? Then read this: the director of The Giant Peach, Henry Selick, also directed The Nightmare Before Christmas, which means that one isn't a Tim Burton movie either. You had to know. Maybe that'll give you some more perspective.
10	Donnie Darko (2001, R)
11	Across the Universe (2007, PG-13)
12	MirrorMask (2005, PG) Great, even if the story is just an excuse to make a movie about a lucid dream.
13	Inland Empire (2006, R)
14	Fantasia (1940, G)
15	The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975, R)
16	Eraserhead (1977, Unrated)
17	Planet Terror (Grindhouse Presents: Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror) (2007, R)
18	Dark City (1998, R)
19	Lost Highway (1997, R)
20	Alice in Wonderland (1951, G)
21	Requiem for a Dream (2000, R)
22	The Fountain (2006, PG-13)
23	The Wizard of Oz (1939, G)
24	The Acid House (1998, Unrated) Funny, but only the third story is good.
25	Blue Velvet (1986, R)
26	Wild At Heart (1990, R)
27	Tideland (2006, R)
28	La Science des Rêves (The Science of Sleep) (2006, R)
29	Hauru no ugoku shiro (Howl's Moving Castle) (2005, PG) Great, but confusing.
30	Takeshis' (2005, Unrated)
31	Kantoku - Banzai! (Glory to the Filmmaker!) (2007, Unrated) The Sci-Fi part is absurdly hilarious. To me, the rest of the movie seemed just Kitano's excuse to make that ¿story? a film. Anyways, he manages to parody himself and the commercial cinema better than in Takeshis'. Not as in Zatoichi, of course.
32	Southland Tales (2007, R)
33	Being John Malkovich (1999, R)
34	Delicatessen (1991, R)
35	La Cité des Enfants Perdus (The City of Lost Children) (1995, R) I love it, but it's not that good actually.
36	Magical Mystery Tour (1967, Unrated)
37	Speed Racer (2008, PG)
38	Pink Floyd - The Wall (1982, R) I really love the music and the images but I can't give it a higher rating because it's just a long videoclip. A very good one, yeah, but I don't think it is that good artistically.
39	Trainspotting (1996, R)
40	El Topo (1970, Unrated)
41	Cube (1998, R)
42	Le Ángel Exterminador (The Exterminating Angel) (1967, Unrated)
43	Moulin Rouge! (2001, PG-13)
44	Spun (2003, R)
45	Dreams (Akira Kurosawa's Dreams) (Yume) (1990, PG)
46	Labyrinth (1986, PG)
47	El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan's Labyrinth) (2006, R) One of the few recent movies that don't make me feel ashamed of being Spanish... even if the writer and director is Mexican.
48	El Día de la bestia (The Day of the Beast) (1999, R)
49	Acción mutante (Mutant Action) (1993, Unrated)
50	Youth Without Youth (2007, R)
51	El Milagro de P. Tinto (The Miracle of P. Tinto) (1999, Unrated)
52	The Fifth Element (1997, PG-13)
53	Independence Day (1996, PG-13) What the fuck???
54	An American Werewolf in London (1981, R)
55	Uzumaki (2002, G)
56	Big Fish (2003, PG-13)
57	1408 (2007, PG-13)
58	Amanece, que no es poco (1989, Unrated) Wonderful absurd comedy.
59	Yellow Submarine (1968, G) We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine... a must-see for psychodelia and Beatles fans. I love both of them, so I enjoy this one like Robert Downey Jr. would enjoy a free shot of heroin. Oh, that was unpolite.
60	Daft Punk's Electroma (2006, Unrated)
61	Subconscious Cruelty (1999, Unrated) Very ¿enjoyable? taboo breaker. One of the surrealist films with the best imagery I've seen, specially the part that deals with religion.
62	Viva la muerte (1971, Unrated) Too many animal killings. That doesn't make the film worse, though.
63	Brazil (1985, R)
64	The Birds (1963, PG-13) Maybe nowadays it's better to watch it as a surrealist comedy.
65	Meet the Feebles (1989, R) Along with Braindead, my favourite Peter Jackson film. Brutal parody of The Muppet Show and the spectacle world. Weird, cheesy, disgusting and disturbingly hilarious. A masterpiece.
66	Stay (2005, R)
67	Hypnos (Hipnos) (2004, Unrated)
68	A Beautiful Mind (2001, PG-13)
69	Fando y Lis (Fando and Lis) (1968, Unrated)
70	Alice (Neco z Alenky) (1988, Unrated) The sickest version of Alice's tale -said the White Rabbit. There's also an amazing short film after the ending.
71	The Holy Mountain (1973, R)
72	The Short Films of David Lynch (, Unrated) The genesis of a genius.
73	Open Your Eyes (Abre los ojos) (Permanent Midnight) (1999, R) Really weird, as everybody says. The weirdest thing, though, is that Noriega doesn't suck.
74	Saibogujiman kwenchana (I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK) (2006, Unrated)
75	Santa sangre (Holy Blood) (1990, NC-17)
76	Wristcutters - A Love Story (2007, R) Wonderful and unique. And there's Gogol Bordello music!
77	2001: A Space Odyssey (1968, G)
78	Audition (Ôdishon) (1999, R)
79	Naked Lunch (1991, R)
80	Suspiria (1977, R)
81	Arrebato (Rapture) (1980, Unrated)
82	Fantastic Voyage (1966, PG)
83	La Jetée (The Pier) (1962, Unrated)
84	Three...Extremes (Saam gaang yi) (2005, R)
85	A Scanner Darkly (2006, R) The best part is the rotoscopic animation, which fits the story perfectly. However, the plot is not too good until the (genius) ending.
86	Johnny Got His Gun (1971, PG) Funny to think that I watched it because of a (great) Metallica song.
