Meme: Ten Crucial Movies

Taken from sperrywink

Everyone should post their ten most CRUCIAL CRUCIAL CRUCIAL-ASS movies, like the movies that explain everything about yourselves in your current incarnations (not necessarily your ten favorite movies but the ten movies that you, as a person existing currently, feel would help people get to know you) (they can change later on obviously).

This is a challenge list, because my instinct is to list my favorite movies or ones that I've watched a million times. But after thinking about it some more I realized that there some movies that I've only seen once but had a huge impact on me or reflect some aspect of my life. Of course that said, most of these are also favorites and movies I've watched numerous times. :)

Anyway Ten Crucial Movies for Understanding the Manda:

Amelie
Sliding Doors
Like Water for Chocolate
Billy Elliot
Labyrinth
The Last Unicorn
The Incredibly True Story of Two Girls in Love
Spirited Away
Bagdad Cafe
Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Ooohhh, Sliding Doors and Monty Python are also excellent choices!!

And ...Two Girls in Love, also delightful.

Thank you! I was tempted to list "All the Monty Python works ever" but that felt like cheating. :D

You have excellent taste in movies! At least for the ones I have seen, which is about half of this list. The one on your list that would also make mine would be "The Last Unicorn".

Thank you! "The Last Unicorn" was such a fundamental movie for me, from the story, to the animation, to the soundtrack.
