Black Sheep's Top 10

Top 10 lists are so subjective and leave out so many good films but they are so much fun to make. I can't resist! So here is mine, in alphabetical order. Let's be honest though, it could probably change by next weekend ...

A bout de souffle (Breathless), Jean-Luc Godard (1960)
American Beauty, Sam Mendes (1999)
Annie Hall, Woody Allen (1977)
Brokeback Mountain, Ang Lee (2005)
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Michel Gondry (2004)
The Graduate, Mike Nichols (1967)
Pulp Fiction, Quentin Tarantino (1994)
Ratatouille, Brad Bird (2007)
Todo sobre mi madre (All About my Mother), Pedro Almodovar (1999)
West Side Story, Robert Wise & Jerome Robbins (1961)

Fairly eclectic, mostly contemporary ... that's me.

Now here's a topic to debate on a little bit. You'll note in my list I have a different Tarantino film -- "Jackie Brown." Don't get me wrong I love "Pulp Fiction." It's a wonderful, revolutionary film by all means. But I just love watching "Jackie Brown" more. And ultimately it comes down to the characters. I realized one day that in "Pulp Fiction" the only character I really love is Jules. I could care less about Vincent, Mia, and Butch. In "Jackie Brown" I get much more into almost all of the characters. And because of that it's just a richer film to me. Thoughts?
