A friend once asked me: "If all of the movies on the planet were going to be destroyed; past, present and future included, but you were given the chance to seal 10 movies into a time capsule and preserve them and no others from destruction and for your own viewing pleasure, which would they be?"
It is a lot tougher than it sounds and I almost want to take the question and transpose it to books, but I fear I might go insane by that proposition. Anywho, here's the list I came up with (in no particular order).
Shawshank Redemption
Robin Hood: Men in Tights
Silence of the Lambs
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Good Will Hunting
Big Fish
Hot Shots: Part Deux
Moulin Rouge
Se7en
Waking Life
Both The Truman Show & American History X were ridiculously close.
Other considerations were
Kill Bill if vols. 1 & 2 were to be considered as 1 movie.
Blade Runner
American Psycho
Twelve Monkeys
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Batman
The Dark Knight
Star Wars (but only if the original trilogy were considered 1 movie)
Monty Python's The Meaning of Life
Monty Python's Life of Brian
History of the World Part 1
I'll get back to you if I ever decide to one of these for books. It'll be ready by 2020.
