that shit is really tough...there's only one movie i'm certain is the best

1) City Of God

Se7en
Fight Club
Zodiac (David Fincher is easily my favorite director)
Tropic Thunder (absolute funniest movie I've ever seen)

other favs:

Superbad (probably the second funniest movie I've ever seen)
Smokin' Aces (doesn't hurt to have Mansell doing the score)
Belly
Paid In Full (actually better than Belly, but Belly is much more nostalgic)
Heat
Man On Fire
American Gangster (Denzel is my favorite actor and Crowe was equally as good in this one)
Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas

...oh and how could I forget the first movie I ever saw: Top Gun

The only films of his I've seen are The Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries. What am I missing?
