GOTTA be asked:

Hellraiser

really?
when the transforming cybernaut said, "help me...will ya?" I never had such a hard unintentional laugh in my entire life - it most definitely lost me from that point on. Sixty trillion wide angle lens shots (yeay yeah I know - to create a claustrophobic atmosphere - but still - tiresome after a while) and the lead (who was also the goony-bird sniper in "Dirty Harry") was so vacuously, SCREAMINGLY the equivalent to the screen presence of a birch tree (and I was trying to being nice, there!).
Curious to hear what you found tolerable about it.

[TrixRabbi]

The Big Lebowski (Coens)
Taxi Driver (Scorsese)
Aguirre: The Wrath of God (Herzog)
Eraserhead (Lynch)
Pulp Fiction (Tarantino)
The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly (Leone)
House (Obayashi)
Bicycle Thieves (De Sica)
The Rocky Horror Picture Show (Sharman)
Persona (Bergman)

It's really hard to just pick 10, so here's a runner up Top 20:

2001: A Space Odyssey (Kubrick)
The Evil Dead trilogy (Raimi) (Counting it as one)
Apocalypse Now (Coppola)
Punch-Drunk Love (Anderson)
Breathless (Godard)
The Thing (Carpenter)
The Warriors (Hill)
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (Wright)
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (Forman)
Do The Right Thing (Lee)

I'm actually rather fond of the original novel, The Hellbound Heart, for one. For another, I appreciate the first film because of how it uses the monsters -- mainly showing that they're only as bad as their function. It's a story that's more interested in talking about the evil that men do, and given the trends in other popular horror films of the time, it's a different take. (This changed after the second one, mind, where they took the cenobites and made them into typical movie monsters.) Was it the best of 80s horror flicks? Hardly, but I appreciate it for doing something different and for doing what it could with the special effects of the time. I wouldn't mind seeing a remake for the simple fact that I want to see a picture that's closer to what the book envisioned -- which is more possible with what special effects can do now.
