Borstal Boy
Doing Time
The Hurricane (1999)

You are awesome. 
Independence Day(1996, Roland Emmerich) - Action
Out of my 3 only one(butterly effect) made the list, but independence day has probably got to be my all time favourite and can't believe it didn;t make it.
It's AWESOME.

I'll Recommend just 4 films.
Some like it hot. (Romantic comedy)
I was really surprised when I first saw this film and realised that Marilyn was actually an amazing actress. The film is very funny, quite light hearted yet sustains your interest throughout. It also has one of the classic ending lines of any film, ever. Highly recommended. A 9/10 movie.
Three Colours Red (foreign)
The last in the legendary Krzysztof Kieslowski trilogy based on France's national motto 'freedom, equality and brotherhood' Red being based on brotherhood. The first thing to say about this film is that visually it is exquisite rivalled only by Crouching Tiger and The bamboo scene from House of Flying Daggers. The luscious red that defines the film is ever present and it's easy to get lost in it's magnificence. It's quite a slow film but that's because it is a film to appreciate bit by bit, not so much an action thriller more an intelligent drama. Truly an epic and stand alone film. 8.5/10
The Girl who leapt through time (Animation)
Whimsical, non-challant, fun. These three words personify this Japanese animated movie. The self explanatory title hardly does the film justice, you just watch it an instantly fall in love with the fullness of the characters and the hilarity that ensues. A girl accidently stumbles upon the ability to go briefly back in time uses this ability to manipulate situations to her advantage. Unfortunately things don't go according to plan. Definitely watch this if you enjoyed Amelie. The one gripe which stops this from being a masterpiece is the less than satisfactory ending which leaves you yearning for more. 8/10
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (Action)
Absolute stunner. What really amazes about this film is the brilliance of it's soundtrack. It's like the director controls not only the film but time itself simply with the choice of music. Easily my favourite western of all time. Clint Eastwood is the blonde cowboy in a quest with two others to find a huge pot of money that would allow for his retirement from his 'honest' business. Tuco Ramirez, who plays the ugly, is probably one of my favourite characters of any film (alongside the likes of Marv from sin city but for different reasons...) he delivers one of the most comical lines I've ever heard "If you're going to shoot, shoot, don't talk...!" The Mexican standoff at the end blew me away. One of the few films I think that justifies it's length and keeps sustained entertainment throughout. It really is a masterpiece. You can see the improvements Leone made after 'For a few dollars more' how his shots have improved, and where the good ideas in the previous film have been enhanced to perfection in this. Highly recommended. 9.5/10
