11. Citizen Kane (1941)
A rather self-importance movie, Citizen Kane's achievement lies not within the dollars it made but rather with the critics who praised and acclaimed it to be one of the best cinematography achieved in cinema. My memory about this film is rather vague, i had to watch it again in order to learn more about it.
12. One Flew Over Cuckoo's Nest (1975)
One of the best chemistry among two characters in cinema. With Jack Nicholson who i i thought was at best when he played as a numb-nuts, crazy, lost-of-wit character -- check out The Shining -- as a rebellious mental institution patient, this movie delivers enough drama to capture my eyes within its varied characters whose of course fall not far from the crude definition of 'insane'.
13. Pulp Fiction (1994)
Quentin Tarantino's second best (after Kill Bill). This movie breaks all the timeline limitation but yet, QT's had doing so well to keep them intact and intertwined each other in a subtle scenes. Beginning with the robbery by a couple (Bunny and Pumpkins?) in a diner which at first doesn't make any sense at all, the movie had proceeded with loads of wacky, and hillarious adventures. With loads of profanities and witty dialogue (for example, about metrics system in Paris), if one loved Kill Bill they're bound to watch Pulp Fiction.
14. Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
My favourite of the serie, so far. Master Yoda is formidable. But Luke Skywalker (as much as his dad, Anakin) is annoying. With this movie as a required transition between Eps. IV and Eps. VI, some key elements are loaded in this second installment which made it my personal best of the serie.
15. Rear Window (1954)
Haven't seen it.
16. Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)
Haven't seen it. I have been looking for this movie for like, eternity. This movie was my #1 Most Wanted movie. Made by Kubrick, this movie was held as his most funny works. Considering that Kubrick had a rather wierd sense of humor, i have been looking for this movie ever since.
17. Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
The fist installment of the Indiana Jones serie was also my favourite. I remembered it as the very first adventure movie (which i could recalled) i saw. I had a heartily good laugh here and there. But that was then, when i was a child. I need to watch it again, to made my judgement.
18. The Usual Suspects (1995)
My first acquaiantance with Kevin Spacey was in this movie. As demeanoring Verbal Kint, his role is a very subtle one. A magnificent twist right at the end of the movie (which later spoofed at one of the Scary Movie film), made me fall in love to Kevin Spacey at that instant.
19. Memento (2000)
It was a feast to the brain. The director, Christoper Nolan divided it into several scenes and reversed in its time line forcing us, audience to keep remembering what was happen in the future instead guessing what would happen in the future. Very cool.
20. Il Buono, Il Bruto, Il Cattivo (1966)
Or The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Considered to be the most known (and best) western spaghetti movie, this movie was a classic. I was not fond to a western spaghetti hence, this movie never made to my most wanted list.
