Come on guys...it's suppose to be The One. Anyone can come up w/ a top 10 or 20 list, that's too easy. You've got to go with ONE! While I love many, if I had to choose one, no doubt it would be:

The Big Lebowski!

Some of the greatest lines & characters in the world are in that movie. The Dude, Walter, Donnie, The Nihilists (w/ their 'marmot' (aka ferret)), Maude, Jesus...and of course The Rug which we all know really tied the room together! Cohen Bros at their best IMO!

The Dude Abides! (that cheers is w/ a Caucasian, aka White Russian, of course).

Love the lume, love the movie.

Even has a WIS factor:



If you liked 2001, and would like a short worthwhile space flick, check out "Moon".

I nearly bought one of those Hamilton’s in Singapore but it felt a bit too odd on the wrist.

Also Moon is a fantastic film, definably recommend it as well.
