I know, right. Every time I watch it I find something new to appreciate. And I've seen it a lot of times. It's a total Ridley masterclass in the art of directing.

But I still can't split it from Usual Suspects and Hero (Jet Li).

Two more movies where the same applies. Brilliant directing and just seem to get better each time I watch them.

The Replacements (I know it's stupid, it stars Keanu "gets out-acted by a bit of 2 by 4" Reeves but I don't care, it's great fun)
But closely following would be:
Casablanca (Bogart, Lorre, Bergman, Henreid all on superlative form - you can't go wrong)
12 Angry Men (Henry Fonda is superb but all the actors play their part brilliantly - you'd never imagine a film that is essentially set in one room could be so gripping)
Pulp Fiction (what a soundtrack, I really do need to rewatch this soon)
Spirited Away (there's just something about this film that is great and I'm not even a huge fan of animated films)

There's a whole host of other films that I would watch in preference to other better films but those five are always enjoyable. If I got stuck on a desert island with those choices and some way to watch them I don't think I'd be too disappointed.
