1. Mulholland Dr. (2001) Great film. I kept wanting to talk about it all night after seeing it. | 2. Star Wars-Episode IV: A New Hope (1977) I still remember what it was like when I saw this for the first time. Wow! | 3. Star Wars-Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (1980) A great sequel - it is possible! | 4. Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring: Special Extended Edition (2001) I loved the books, and this was a great adaptation. | 5. Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers: Special Extended Edition (2002) I had huge expectations after the first movie, and for the most part it lived up to them. |
6. Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King: Special Extended Edition (2003) Great finale. All three movies are improved by the extended editions. | 7. Office Space (1999) My favourite comedy. I never get bored of rewatching this. | 8. The Matrix (1999) THE movie of the '90s. | 9. Memento (2000) Another movie that I just couldn't stop talking about after seeing. | 10. Saving Private Ryan (DTS) (1998) One of my favourite war films. There are a lot of good ones, but I chose this. |
