This is the final round one grouping
American Beauty: A touching, poignant look at suburban life and the lives we end up leading with or without our consent - American Beauty featured an enchanting soundtrack, wonderfully dry humour, and some marvellous performances from Kevin Spacey and Annette Benning in particular.
Amelie: A cult favourite for its whimsical storyline and cinemotography, Amelie has surpassed its roots as a foreign language film to become a mainstream hit.
Annie Hall: Arguably Woody Allen's finest work, this love story was remarkably touching while maintaining the wit and self depreciation we've come to expect from Allen films.
The Deer Hunter: A now legendary war film about Vietnam, it may not be as well known as the likes of Platoon or Full Metal Jacket, but featured a magnificent cast and critical acclaim still hangs over it.
Stranger Than Fiction: Will Ferrell followed the likes of Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler in recent memory, turning his lovable comic stylings to a more serious role. A charming and intelligent film about life and love.
Iron Man: The most recent addition to the list, 2008's Iron Man sees Marvel finally able to realise its dreams now that they produce their own material. Wonderfully subtle in comparison to most comic adaptations, it was carried by a magnificent performance from Robert Downey Jr.
