Here's a trivia fact: the plot of a certain episode about a 1960s ad agency wherein they get injections of butt speed was loosely based on The Holy Mountain.  Don't tell anybody.

They'd both be in my top 30, I think.  But I had to eliminate a lot of others just to get it down to 5.

I was disconcerted by your selections since two of them I haven't seen, yet.

The Great Muppet Caper (Henson, 1981)
Buffalo '66 (Vincent Gallo, 1998)
Shattered Glass (Billy Ray, 2003)
Fargo (Joel Coen & Ethan Coen, 1996)
The Shining (Stanley Kubrick, 1980)

This is a great list.  This would be a close second when it comes to picking out my desert island list.

You, sir, are quick on your feet. 


Are your choices, like Mike's, based on their respective soundtracks?

I'm afraid to watch "Au Hazard Balthazar" because of what might happen to that poor donkey.
