I have all the Shia The Buff love.

Possibly a criminally guilty pleasure.

e- Also going to give a shout-out to Tommy Wiseau's masterpiece The Room (2003). Kind of indie, but one of the most moving films you'll ever watch. Definitely make an effort to find a copy.

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE

For me, there's just too many great movies to make and attempt at assembling a comprehensive list meaningful.
I've tried it with my faux-facebook account, and after fiftieth or so, I just gave up.

All I can say, is that Kieślowski needs more love. "The Double Life of Veronique" and the "Three Colours Trilogy"(Or at least "Red". Especially "Red".) are simply masterful. If you like contemplative cinema, then don't allow yourself to miss them.

Also, speaking of mindfucks, wait till you see Andrzej Żuławski's "Possession" - it's literally tentacled mind fuck. It'll leave you scratching your head for days to come.

Also:
2046 (romance) Chinese
Have you seen the "prequels" - "In the mood for love" and "Days of Being Wild"? It's definitely worth it, not only because they're all wonderful pieces of cinema on their own rights, but also to gain more insights on the characters involved.
"Chungking Express" is another great work of Wong Kar-Wai's, and unlike the previously mentioned three, rather joyous.

The best film I've watched recently is Federico Fellini's . A rather meta semi-autobiographical film about a internationally acclaimed director with writer's block who can't seem to escape the flurry of people asking for his opinion. Incredibly well-done. In hindsight, not sure why it wasn't on my top ten list.

Augh!  I forgot:

Synecdoche, New York (mindfuck)
The Fountain (spiritual/mindfuck/excellent music)

Definitely recommend the former over the latter, though, especially if you know what synecdoche actually is.

Well, truth be told I am no film buff. I havn't seen every movie ever made, much lest all those ones made before I was born that every film student tells me it is a sin to not have seen. I just watch movies, I don't watch every movie. But reguardless, if we are playing the 'top 10' game, let's get started. So, without any relevance to order, just throwing them out as I think of them...

Scott pilgrim Vs. the world. (Action?)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
So the comic was better, but that is always true about everything ever, so no surprise. This film was an epic about epic epicness. It showed young adults for what young adults are. It also had some great fight scenes, great music and cute girls, I know I should enjoy a movie for more then this, and I do, but they make the movie even better. Still, it is a shame that due to lengh restrictions, the story was cut short in some places, and therefor some scenes lost there meaning, and the great big message at the end was less then recognisable, still it is in there if you look hard enough...

Howl's movie castle. (Romance, I guess. I'm not good with my generas)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Ah, so amazing. The animation was a treat, and the music was inspiring, but above all the story was full of win. Hayao Miyazaki did great things in this screen adaptation from the book, and realy did make it he's own.

Kick ass (Action)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Dear god this super hero movie is great! Hit girl just takes the show as the youngest super hero ever to be bad ass! Each of the protagonists is interesting for a change, and that isn't easy to do in the super hero world where so many stories have been told so many times. This movie seems both very childish and very adult at the same time. Just watch it, it is good, very good.

Coraline (Something creepy that isn't horrer)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Yes, Coraline. I think that movie was awesome. I do like kids movies, especialy ones that can be related to a slightly older audience, and this one did well for itself. I bet this movie would scare the hell out of little kids though, and that is worth even more points!

The beach (Adventure?)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
If you havn't seen this, do it! Yes, I am getting more lazy with things to say as time goes on, ten is a large number for a lsit off the top of my head without going through my movie collections! Still, great movie.

When I think of more I will return.

Yeah, but they speak Portuguese in Brazil. I wasn't sure which to say so I went with the language.
