Some really great films here and as i was reading down the list, I'm thinking nobody have mentioned my favourite, which is not surprising because it is quite old.
The Maltese Falcon.
First saw the film over 40 years ago and really enjoyed it, have since read bits about it and it stars and I'm just intrigured by it all.
Was in San Francisco a couple of years ago and bought the book, and I couldn't believe how good the film is to the book. Although there is one bit that is missed out about a visit to a restaurant called John's Grill which we had to visit when we were there. Apparently its where the writer Dashiell Hammett used to frequent.
Also what I like about The Maltese Falcon is that there isn't one scene that is wasted, or not integrial to the story, must unusual now days as bits are added to fill the time out.
My others:-
Casablanca, another Bogart classic.
Usual Suspect, best screenplay ever.
Shawshank (again I'm afraid)
Godfather 1+2.
To be honest I could name another 20 films for different reasons.
