1) LOTR (trilogy) : spectacular story telling, and those visual effects are something else
2) Star Wars - Episode IV : the best sci fi move ever!
3) Blade Runner : the 2nd best sci fi move ever and is visually stunning
4) Shawshank Redemption : great acting by Morgan Freeman and Tim Robins
5) Last of the Mohicans (the Daniel Day Lewis version) : visually beutiful, and a classic tale
6) The Princess Bride : brings out the children in all of us
7) Little Miss Sunshine : a quirky tale, but the Superfreak dance sequence is something else
8) Whale Rider : a brilliant New Zealand story, and if any of you haven't seen it, get it out on DVD and enjoy a treat
9) Goodfellas : great story, great directing and Joe Pesci is a revelation
10) Star Trek - First Contact : Picard is far better than Kirk, and nothing beats the Borg. Was a toss up between this and Wrath of Khan, so I thought I'd throw this one in for a bit of fun

@Major Matt:

You can say Kirk and Picard are both the best, but NEVER Picard over Kirk, just because Kirk is such an icon... so is Picard, but as Kirk was the original, it'd be like saying Data is "better" than Spock- both crews are great

Ahhhhh, Last of the Mohicans, I'd forgotten that one. Terrific movie, great score.

hahahahha..........Total Recall.....not a horrible choice, I'm just surprised anyone would put it up there.....anyway Enemy at the Gates is a damn love triangle. Who needs that in a war movie.
Octavious (2701 D)

Total Recall is a true gem of a film, and I have no idea why. There's nothing about it that I can say makes it stand out as one of the all time greats, and yet I feel drawn to watch it whenever it's on. I think the love Triangle in Enemy at the Gates is a small price to pay for a great film. It's one of the most engaging tales of WW2, and I can genuinely like the characters. I tried watching the Pianist once, and spent half of the film hoping the Nazis would shoot the miserable git :p.

I would put Truman Show on my list, but then I'd need to make an actual list...
iMurk789 (100 D)
23 Apr 10 UTC
i didnt see either of those, but i made sure to say 'nearly' in my comment. i liked dumb and dumber and bruce almighty, but ace ventura and the mask...oh god. the only comedy in it was him making faces

Difficult to come up with a top10 as such but id say
best animation- spirited away
best fantasy- LOTR
scifi- Matrix or Blade runner
Comedy-Dont really know why and they arent great films as such but the first 2 American pie movies made me laugh a lot. Hangover was great.
Musical- moulin rouge
love story - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind? hmm not sure, love stories arent really my cup of tea
Inspirational drama- dead poets society.
fuck yeah- fight club and trainspotting
none of them standout as a amazingly great movie but i always enjoy george clooney movies - they always seem to so well produced, shot,acted and nuanced which is something you dont see in a lot of the drivel Hollywood comes out with.

Besides ones already mentioned:
Highlander - Sean Connery is great and the flashing forward and back in time are well done.
Payback - Mel Gibson as a not so good guy, but you still cheer for him.
The Game - Kept me guessing the whole time and I like a movie that surprises me...
Sixth Sense - See above
City of Angels - The soundtrack is great for those melancholly times
Transformers - Great action and DAMN Jennifer Fox is hot.

2001 a Space Odessey, but the book was better. Band of Brothers. The Man Who Would Be King, with Sean Connery, and Michel Cain. Being There, with Peter Sellers. Alien, the first one only. Blade Runner, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Predator. Monty Python and The Holy Grail, What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? And just for fun Saku, Great German Shepherd Dog.

If a player misses a disband phase...
I know a disband will be automatically entered, and I guess there is some coding issue regarding what is disbanded. My question - is there a way to tell whether the disband was system entered or player entered?

Just a quick question..
I've been looking through the FAQs and I can't seem to find an answer to something; I was hoping if someone could help me out..

I've been wondering: is there a way to quit a game that's already started?
I don't need to right NOW of course, but I want to know, just in case. (Say you joined a game, and something unexpected happened and you wouldn't be online for several days; I personally would prefer to NOT hold up the game by being absent. Is there a way to leave the game?)

private chatbox doens't work properly all the time
I can't type messages in the private chatbox of a country during a game. I only have a very small window of opportunity to type letters (usually only enough time to type two letters) before all typing actions are blocked. Why is that? And what is the solution?

Thanks,
Dusan
