Dr. Strangelove, or: How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.
A brilliant political satire that was so good, most of it ended up coming true over the years that followed. Very funny, too - but almost equally as scary!

Die Hard (1988) is one of my all-time favourite movies ever! However, it would be criminal of me to not vote for 'Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid' (1982) - In my opinion it's Steve Martin's finest hour (& 28 minutes) - not seen it? WHY NOT?!  |

I didn't have a clue what Die Hard was going to be about when I went to see it. All I knew was that the guy out of Moonlighting was in it and that put me off straight away. I was on the edge of my seat for 2 hours. Brilliant.
My vote is going for Donnie Darko though, a very strange film but brilliant as well.

I'm surprised that Debbie Does Dallas isn't on the short-list.  I haven't seen it so can't comment. Neither have I seen most of the others mentioned so far so I've a personal list of films I enjoyed many years ago: Dark Star - very dark and very funny. Dirty Mary Crazy Larry - a chase movie that is at once moral and amoral. and my vote goes to Dr Terror's House Of Horrors - Lee, Cushing, Donald Sutherland and Roy Castle. What's not to enjoy? |

I wasn't expecting much when I went to see it myself for the same reason you stated, how wrong I was too! |

It was a close one for me this week, just being pipped to the post though was another Leslie Nielsen film Dracula, Dead and loving it which I still watch over and over again these days, but my winner for the D round is a double D!! Dumb and Dumber. Seen and laughed so many times over the years at this film and still watch it when ever it's on the TV. Jim Carrey and Jeff Bridges work so well together and I don't think i'll ever tire of this film.

In fact, if there's no outright winner in this one and Dumb and Dumber is in with a better shout than my suggestion, I'm switching votes. Great choice, mate. |

A three way tie for me between Die Hard, Dumb and Dumber and Donnie Darko...Die Hard was a great action-packed but clever film and one of my favourite performances from Alan Rickman...Dumb and Dumber is just side-splittingly hilarious...and Donnie Darko is one of the most intriguing but best written films I've ever actually seen, I've seen it many, many times and still I'm not sure what it means with symbolism and clues packed into every scene!
A very close one but I'm going for Donnie Darko!

Lot's of Ds...
Despicable Me - great film for all the family
Dangerous Liaisons - spawning the immortal line: 'it's beyond my control'
Dual - on paper a film that shouldn't work, but is amazing for the stress and tension it delivers
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels - Steve Martin and Michael Caine slap-stick heaven!
The Deer Hunter - hard to imagine a week without either De Niro or Pacino!
Dancer in the Dark - almost gets my vote: Bjork is very good, the story is deeply disturbing and the soundtrack is great
But I'm going for The Dirty Dozen - a mission war film with a twist, top cast, great action and brilliant script.
