    If you've never seen it before then you're in for a treat. But be warned, its not everyones cup of tea. Quite a slow, subtle film.

    That's quite an unusual list @DaltonCraig007...

    In Bruges is so under appreciated. One of the best films of that year.

    Great performances all round especially Colin Farrell.

    Great picks. Lost in Translation is slow, but a really great film.

    @BondJasonBond006, edited the title for assistance! I made this thread way back in 2011, so there's no reason you have to limit them at five.

    @Chrisisall

    Serenity is just outside my Top 10 :)

    I didn't realise you're such a Firefly fan. It's the greatest ever TV show that only survived one season, and even one of the best TV shows anyway.

    Only TV series better than FF is Star Trek TOS IMHO.

    Cool, but which version?

    Was the 1992 Director's Cut until Ridley released the Final Cut in 2007. They're very similar to one another, and while I don't think the brief snippets of violence added back in were really necessary (nor do I like that Hauer's ambiguous father/f***er line was changed), the Final Cut does digitally clean up all the goofs like visible wires, audio and lip movement not syncing, and the dove flying into a magically blue daylight sky at the end, resulting in a much more complete and immersive film experience. It's the Final Cut all the way for me these days.

    Do you have a favorite version?
