The movie with the most stunning ending for me was The Illusionist. Never saw it coming.
I haven't seen any movies lately, so I can't really can't say which is the best and which isn't. Moulin Rouge was one of the most emotional movies I've seen. (Which I haven't seen many.)

If you thought the illusionist was good, you should see
the Prestige 100 times better and Christian Bale is awesome!

If you drop Simpsons it's the gayest film list that I saw in my life.
But on the other hand I feel lucky that no one mentioned Titanic jet.

I didn't think I would be able to agree with anyone nor decide on anything for myself in this thread, but maybe you've convinced me with BRAZIL. BUT WHICH CUT?
The Battle of Algiers is also one of my all-time favs, but I don't know if I would call it one of the greatest films ever made.

Troy was a dissapointment to me. I was expecting it to be better, then again Hollywood did it, so I should have expected it to be pretty innaccurate.
