I genuinely liked it and I'm the only person who will admit to have seen it in a theatre.

The Matrix



The Matrix received Academy Awards for Best Film Editing, Best Sound Editing, Best Visual Effects and Best Sound.
There's a lot that can be said about The Matrix. It mixes philosophy, martial arts with innovative special effects ie "bullet time" perfectly.

23. The Big Lebowski



The first time I saw this I thought it incredibly strange when a friend brought it over. Ever since then however, I've laughed my ass off at this. While Jeff Bridges won an Academy Award for his role Crazy Heart, he will always be best known as The Dude in this masterpiece.

Other than all those people squeezed into that one theater in South Africa, you are the only PERSON to have seen that in a theater.  I do understand that many an amoebae have seen GYMKATA in nearly empty theaters...  

26. MY LIFE AS A DOG (1985 aka MIT LIV SOM HUND) 

[Rev. Powell]

27. "Memento" (2000)

This is it from Christopher Nolan, from me, at least.
