That's Crash 2004 - the winner of Best Picture (Academy Awards)

I know, because it was on my list.

There's a lot from the Master List I think are worthy. Here's 5 that were in my "more than 20 list" that I like a lot:

Dances With Wolves - If i were to redo my top 20, I'd include Dances and cut Crash. It's beautiful, fascinating, compelling, lot's of heart.
Pulp Fiction - Really liked it a lot. But not entirely sure why. There's no subject matter of importance.
A CLOCKWORK ORANGE - a blaze of fascination and richness
Fight Club - compelling and provocative times 10, and effective
The Lion King - after I saw it, and said to myself, 'this was a really good film'.

Lawrence Of Arabia (1962) - IMO, overrated extraordinaire. Beautiful big screen shots... and at times boring.
To Kill A Mockingbird (1962) - good film and good subject; just see it as one of so many.
A Clockwork Orange (1971) - talked about above.
Apocalypse Now (1979) - fascinating story. The overall film felt a bit unresolved at the end to me.
GoodFellas - entertaining film that pushes buttons, well directed. I felt the subject matter and story was ultimately frivolous.
