I have a terribly girly taste, [....]

Nothing terrible about that.
I prefer to go to the cinema with women. IMO they have better taste in films than men.

Girly taste or not, I feel really bad about leaving out Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain, which is probably my fave feelgood movie so far. Also no movie selected with fave actresses like Jodie Foster or Valeria Bruni Tedeschi. Or a Marx Brothers film. Or a Hitchcock. Or a film with Colin Firth. Or ..... (sigh).

Anyway, six movies that I like and love very very much:
Casablanca
Il Vangelo secondo Matteo
Monty Python's Life of Brian
The Elephant Man
Dangerous Liaisons
Festen

Six is awfully few with so many good movies around; no room for Roger Corman and his Poe cycle (The Masque of the Red Death )

Yes, Dangerous Liaisons is a good one! Great actors. I like the ending where Glenn Close is whiping her makeup off. 

[Sergeant Rock]

Yes, Dangerous Liaisons is a good one! Great actors. I like the ending where Glenn Close is whiping her makeup off.

I prefer the part where Uma Thurman whips off her clothes 

Sarge

[abidoful]

[ZauberdrachenNr.7]

I judged twelve to be sufficiently difficult, so if the extra half dozen's a problem the miracle that is subtraction will set it right! 

1. Blade Runner
2. Wings of Desire
3. La Belle et La Bête
4. The English Patient
5. Les Enfants du Paradis
6. Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
7. Les Parapluies de Cherbourg
8. Dreamlife of Angels
9. L'Atalante
10. Revanche
11. Wild Strawberries
12. The Third Man

Very nice list, Zauber. The ones I bolded are special films no doubt. And it's been years since I've seen Dreamlife of Angels, will need to revisit it soon.
