Goodfellas: As close to a certainty as possible when it comes to progression. A classic.

Der Untergang (Downfall)
: Excellent German film about Hitler's last few days in power. Doomed :(

Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi: The Ewok battle almost certainly won it a lot of merchandising. Fitting end to a classic trilogy.

Snatch: Guy Ritchie's tour de force. A classic bit of English comedy.

Philadelphia: Hanks swept all comers in the Oscar race with his touching portrayal of an Aids patient in this dramatic, wrenching film.

goodfellas ... the way scorcese filmed the scene where henry and karen walk into the club through the back as one continuous shot was cinematic perfection ... plus it's my 2nd favourite film ever :cool:

Henry Hill: You're a pistol, you're really funny. You're really funny.
Tommy DeVito: What do you mean I'm funny?
Henry Hill: It's funny, you know. It's a good story, it's funny, you're a funny guy.
[laughs]
Tommy DeVito: what do you mean, you mean the way I talk? What?
Henry Hill: It's just, you know. You're just funny, it's... funny, the way you tell the story and everything.
Tommy DeVito: [it becomes quiet] Funny how? What's funny about it?
Anthony Stabile: Tommy no, You got it all wrong.
Tommy DeVito: Oh, oh, Anthony. He's a big boy, he knows what he said. What did ya say? Funny how?
Henry Hill: Jus...
Tommy DeVito: What?
Henry Hill: Just... ya know... you're funny.
Tommy DeVito: You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little f**ked up maybe, but I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to f**kin' amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?
Henry Hill: Just... you know, how you tell the story, what?
Tommy DeVito: No, no, I don't know, you said it. How do I know? You said I'm funny. How the f**k am I funny, what the f**k is so funny about me? Tell me, tell me what's funny!

Easy poll for me this time around -Return of the Jedi
That said I've got to watch downfall at some point. With all the Hitler youtube clips that were doing the rounds based on that movie, it makes me want to watch.

the thing i most like about goodfellas is the climax where henry gets busted by the police.

the whole..wacked out..rushing around with the helicopter flying over head sequence was great.

Goodfellas, as expected, wins this at a canter. Return of the Jedi is similarly untroubled as second place.
