The Shawshank Redemption neither Goodfellas Ran - Walter.

The Terminator Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial - ( Agree with Luke, The Sixth Sense is a better film, but E.T. is already a classic. ) The Silence of the Lambs - ( While I enjoy the film, I've never completely understood the adulation heaped upon Fargo. ?? ) - Walter.

neither Unforgiven Toy Story neither - Walter.

neither The Nightmare Before Christmas The Natural neither - Walter.

Nominate: Wings of Desire Second: The English Patient ( Gotta think about other choices. ) - Walter.
