Were you think of the Virgin Suicides? Why don't you go to this website. www.imdb.com

Here is my top list, in no particular order. I'll give a little commentary if the movies are from a series.

- T2- Judgement Day. The first one is very good, but this is better. Less said about the third the better.
- Star wars - A New Hope. The second one after this one is also very good. The third one was good. The two Prequels were awful. The second had much more promise than the first one, but GL blew it on trying to get a a family friendly rating.
- The Matrix. I choose this because it was the first one and it was amazing the first time I saw it and it still is amazing. The other ones are excellent also.
- Titanic
- Apocalyse Now
- Saving Private Ryan
- Bend It Like Beckham
- Bridge of the River Kwai
- The Castle*
- The Dish*
- Chicago
- The Pianist
- Schindler's List
- Spaceballs
- O Brother, Where art thou?

EDIT. Those with * are Australian Movies.

@ CivGeneral. Get real with Fahrenheit 9/11. It is not a movie, it is a documentory. It is also propoganda BS.
 
1. Pirates of the Caribbean
2. Red Dawn
3. Rainbow: First Blood
4. Final Fantasy
5. A movie I can't remember it's name
6. Pitch Black
7. Chronicles of Riddick
8. The Matrix (not the two sequals... they sucked... the orginal)
9. Shrek
10. Finding Nemo
11. Gone in Sixty Seconds
12. Starship Troopers
13. Star Wars (triology)
14. Lord of the Righs (triology)
15. Spaceballs

Give me a break, it was something about a Futuristic society where they developed a drug to make it to where everybody never feels anything (emotion wise). The government forces everyone to use it, they kill those that refuse to, etc.

I think the movie you are thinking of is Equilibrium. And a break is given, because it took me a couple seconds to think of what movie that was. :D
