Son_of_albstein's picks: 01. Do lok tin si (1995)

joesiegels' picks: 01. Taxi Driver (1976)

Reason: "Taxi Driver is not only my favorite movie, it is also the movie that has affected me the most, it gave me a state of alienation like no movie, no book, no song has done it, I fell in love with the underground world through which Travis travels through of his yellow taxi in a kind of descent into madness while the smoke escapes through the vents of the streets, and the cab splashes through water from hydrants--a Stygian passage.

rocky-o's picks: 01. Chinese Coffee (2000)

Reason: " 'Chinese Coffee' stars Jerry Orbach and Al Pacino and features writing that is crisp, raw, and real... The emotions are endless as Pacino’s character writes a new novel, while Orbach’s character struggles on with his photography...

The movie is filmed in a low-rent style, perfect for an arthouse showing, as well as bringing their New York into a truthful existence."

Ardan Türzünsoy's picks: 01. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998)

Reason: "it's the most fun I ever had watching a film. It has perfect photography, perfect editing (never, ever slowing down or going so fast that you miss the story) looks extremely slick, has perhaps the best and most quotable dialogue I heard in a comedy, Guy Ritchie used music as well as Tarantino, perhaps even better, almost like a character in the film. And although the plot is extremely intricate, you have no trouble following it. At least I didn't."

otter68's picks: 01. Brazil (1985)

Reason: "It's an amazing fantasy story with incredible visuals and great performances, especially Robert Dinero's cameo as the blackmarket fugitive heating repairman. It's the story of a everyman who is happy in his anonymity who finds himself chasing the girl of his dreams, literally, through the world of an oppressive government that controls everything and tries to control everyone. It holds up well after 30 years and stands the test of time.

Breumaster's picks: 01. The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

Reason: "The story is told in an unbeatable fluent storyflow by a perfect cast, cut, camera, directing. It's a milestone of cinema with most intriguing characters. The sporadically voice over is a perfect way to introduce timesteps. What a clever and descent created movie! Even though the twist is revealed after watching it, I've watched it several times again."
