I know its a little more than 10, but it is utter herasy to put it in order.
You have a good list, heavy with mobsters, blood, etc, but they are good movies. I really cannot say that I liked "Eyes Wide Shut", not a Cruise fan at all. But anyway, the one of the movies in my list you say you haven't seen is #2, "Chocolat", maybe one of the best movies I have ever seen. It is a spiritual kind of romantic type movie bent on on the middle-American Indian lore of the aphrodisiacal/medicinal effects of cacao, handed down from generation to generation, in a situation where the line cannot be broken. I don't want to give too much away. Besides, Juliette Binoche stole my heart in Chocolat (and Lena Olin is just fantastic as well) . I actually first expereinced both actresses in another great movie, "The Unbearable Lightness of being" (this movie is highly recommended).
I've heard of Chocolat. A movie i havn't seen is a movie i havn't seen
yet. I'll watch it oneday. My older Brother is a film director at International Film school of Sydney (he made his first student film 3 weeks ago), and he buys a ton of classic movies to study and observe, and i watch them with him.
I dislike Tom Cruise as a person, but i think he is a good actor, and i like some of his films (Minority Report, The Last Samurai, Eyes Wide Shut, War of the Worlds). I thought Eyes Wide Shut, while...disturbing, was...different, and unique. It had a strange feeling about it, which i liked. And yes, i like Gangster/Gangsta movies (influence of my dad, his favourite genre). I forgot to mention Boyz n the Hood.
