Here's something that might work. How about we put forward a film that we really love starting with each letter of the alphabet? What I propose is that we go through the letters in order and people submit a film starting with that letter, until we have 10 films beginning with A, then 10 beginning with B etc and so on.

I would ask that people try to restrict their nominations to at MOST just two films per letter, unless things get slow, or we get stuck on a problem letter (Q, X, V, Z...). In which case, we might just come up with 5 of each! There will be no backing of these films, so make sure you choose something that reflects your tastes! The final results, as with the Top 100 listal films, will make a new list:

http://www.listal.com/list/listals-z-library-films

Please don't move on to the next letter until we've got ten for the current letter.

The format should be as follows:

A

1. Insert Film Title:
Insert description why you love this movie. Description-less nominations will not be included.

Please only choose movies you really do like! Let's hope this works.

NB: Films like 'The Firm' will come under the letter F, Films starting with a number eg 8 Mile, come under the number category that we'll have at the end UNLESS the number is spelt out in the film title.

I'll get the ball rolling:

A.

1. Akira

Akira is a post-apocalyptic masterpiece. A definite benchmark in top-drawer animation which still effortlessly holds its own today. A story that is very much about survival as well as protecting what is dear to you in a city that has officially folded in on itself. The ending scenes are somewhat surreal and definitely not everyone's cup of tea, but the rest of the film is just superb action accompanied by an awesome soundtrack!

2. American Psycho

A lovely tale of yuppies. Christian Bale plays this crazy @55 mofo in this darkly humorous, quite possibly social commentary, tale about yuppies. Most probably won't appreciate it seeing as it quite delves in the socially unacceptable, but maybe that's why I think this movie is so amazing. And surprisingly enough it's toned down compared to the book.


Oh and what about films with numeric titles or starting with "the" or "a"? Where would those be under?

3. Alien

An awesome atmospheric astronaut anthology. The original horror in space. The film is fantastic and created a whole new fear in cinema. It breaches the borders of our imagintion with a creature we could have never fathomed. H.R. Giger's best work. The cast alone is monumental. All legends in their own right.

4. American History X

First off Edward Norton is truly one of the most downplayed actor working right now. (Wasting his talent on "The Hulk" Dammit!). The story centers around the main character who is part of the Arirain(sp) Brotherhood. One night there is a break in and two blacks are killed with excessive force, so he is sent off to jail.
Here is the turning point of the central character to make a change before his younger brother ends up the same way. Whom is played by Edward Furlong.
Awesome cast, brilliant writing, and a touchy subject that many would not dare to try make this one of my top 20 movies of all time.

5. The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

An Australian road movie that features two drag queens and a transsexual. An absolute riot of a film that features a storming performance by Terence Stamp.

One of the few films I can watch over and over again as you always find an outlandish line that you missed the last time round. In my opinion one of the greatest comedy films ever.

On to B now!

1. Blade Runner
Ridley Scott's dystopian masterpiece is easily one of my favourite films of all time. Based on a Philip K. Dick novel, Blade Runner focuses on Harrison Ford in what was, for me, his finest role, the reluctant and vulnerable bounty hunter Rick Deckard. A legendary performance from Rutger Hauer and some of the finest desolate and depressing scenery I've witnessed in cinema later and you have a staple favourite of mine. Thank God it came out on DVD again after all these years!

Set against the backdrop of the bitter miners strike in 1980's Britain in a tough Northern town, this is a tale of a young lad following his dream to be a ballet dancer. Overcoming all sorts of obstacles he realises his dream & wins over his doubters. One of the best British made films ever with excellent acting performances throughout.

For being the only film in which I am able to eagerly anticipate the developments of the future rather than fear bringing children into the times ahead.
A great storyline that allows kids to believe they can save the fate of their shameful families and redeem themselves from the embarresment they heap on them.
Snazzy 1980's outfits with the coolest of gadgets and pop cultural quotes fill each scene. The film of my childhood and happy viewing at its best!

Forget the four other Batman movies that apprently never existed. Tim Burton's vision of his Batman movies in my were more a tale of everybody else except Batman (mainly about the Joker in "Batman"). Christopher Nolan does an excellent job and Christan Bale is an underrated actor. Extra bonus if you are a fan of Frank Miller's grafic novels of Batman. They kinda tell the same story... kinda... A dark deeply emotionally scarred Batman. Awesome flick.

A marmite of a film, but I do love it. Whether it is true to the gritty heart of life or trying to be shocking it manages to be much more fresh, original and funny than any other mainstream film I have seen in a long time.

The plot revolves around middleclass but not quite middle aged professionals that you can love to hate as you watch their twisted lies and egos rip apart their own lives.

This film provides too much comedy. Not only does it depict hooligans and London stereotypes perfectly but you get a social commentary on modern life in Inner Cities of Britain. One of the main aspects of the film is that there is no football in it at all. The focus is on a group of Chelsea fans who would rather go out fighting than other mundane and typical things their age. Heavily quotable and full of cockney charm.

9. Hook

This should be on everyones to see list. A reimagined tale of Peter Pan, which gives us an objective look at Never Neverland. All the classic characters are there and the story is a slight improvement over the other in terms of family entertainment. Funny and cherpy to the last.

10. Heavenly Creatures
The epitome of Peter Jackson's filmmaking in his pre-LOTR days. This terrific critically acclaimed hypnotic thriller is a film based on a true story of two young girls who lived in New Zealand driven to murder when faced with separation. Emotional, stunning, gripping and compelling.

1. In the name of the Father

Based on the real life incidents of the Guilford 4, wrongly arrested for the Guildford Pub IRA bombings. Daniel-Day Lewis and Pete Postlethwaite play father and son Gerry and Giuseppe Conlon. I wish I was Pete Poslethwaite's son, or DDL's dad.

A film that I absent mindedly began to watch and ended up completely entangled in the characters plight.

5. Invasion of the Astro-Monster (the direct translation from its original Eastern release)

The Godzilla franchise didn't merely inspire thousands of low grade b-movies popular from the 1950s to the 1970s; it inspired thousands of low grade sci-fis popular from the 1950s to the 1970s as well. But you can't blame the source, can you? The sixth entry in the Godzilla series, through this film's popularity it created a formula that would over time be re-invented, re-interpreted, and, sadly, re-metabolized by ungrateful directors showing no tribute to Akira Takarada's ethic of filmmaking. Molded together the visual unity, Cold War-inspired plot and instant win of a score solidify the characteristics of the b-movie genre. However, Invasion of the Astro-Monster is definitely a-grade.

6. The Insider

Based on a true story, this thriller goes deep into the dangerous world of investigative journalism. Al Pacino is well cast as the '60 Minutes' journalist who, together with a scientist, helps blow the lid on the ruthless practices of tobacco giants, which directly led to the multi-billion dollar lawsuits that were soon to follow.

What an outstanding blockbuster. Not quite what you'd expect from the comics but its managed to hold strong. Over the top, exploding prams and the electric chair for jaywalking!

Stallone's menacing 'platform' stance and upturned smile bring Joseph Dredd out of the pages and onto the big screen.

1. Layer Cake


The depiction of a violent subculture of organised crime, side-by-side with everyday urban London, isn't quite as worrying as it should be, but otherwise a decent film, and noteworthy for featuring a pre-Bond Daniel Craig (I re-watched this last night, and was amused at the scene where, having picked up a gun, he does some Bond-esque posing, in a comically self-conscious sort of way).

A man falls in love with the girl of his dreams but his ex-lover doesn't let go so easily and he ends up with a grotesquely disfigured face in the process. The rest of the movie is his quest to overcome his disfigurement. Sounds like a conventional against-all-odds kind of story, doesn't it? Well, it isn't. There are bizarre occurrences, paranoia, violence and murder. The movie examines the nature of memory and our dreams. Finally, it throws in a interesting twist in the drawn out and satisfying climax.

(If anyone cares, this was made into the mediocre 'Vanilla Sky' with Penelope Cruz reprising her role.)
