I have to add one more feel that I have just recently seen and found both entertaining and disturbing. I have to preface that I usually hate musicals and foreign films. Not that it's for everyone but those that like interesting films do not pass up "Dancer in the Dark."

Ok I just notice that you have a link to Neil Gaiman in your "Recomending" list and I had to be the one to bring up "Mirror Mask" as a top 5 movie.

[Xero]

2) Clerks
3) American Beauty
4) The Wall
5) Mirror Mask

I'd tell you the first one but the first rule is "I'm not supposed to talk about it" and the second rule is "I'm not supposed to talk about it" and the third rule is...

There are a few others, but I thought listing every movie made in 1999 would take to long. (Dogma,Being John Malkovich, etc.). Honestly other than number one it's hard for me to place the top 5.
