[via: dahlia_moon because this is a very interesting proposition]

Everyone should post their ten most CRUCIAL CRUCIAL CRUCIAL-ASS movies, like the movies that explain everything about yourselves in your current incarnations (not necessarily your ten favorite movies but the ten movies that you, as a person existing currently, feel would help people get to know you) (they can change later on obviously).

1. Shaun of the Dead
2. Back to the Future
3. Memento
4. Slapshot
5. The Descent
6. Night Watch
7. Sinister
8. Looper
9. District 9
10. The Cabin in the Woods

Despite calling myself an Edgar Wright/Nick Frost/Simon Pegg fan, I've still not seen Shaun of the Dead. (I love Hot Fuzz though, and have seen it nth times.)

Back to the Future is so fun, but it's been so long since I've watched it and the other sequels.

And someone recommended Memento to me once, but have still not seen it. So many movies, so little time.

So five of your movies are horror, I think, and the other five are a different mix of comedy, mystery/thriller, and sci-fi.

SHAUN OF THE DEAD IS THE BEST THOUGH. THE BEST. (...Hot Fuzz is my least favorite of the Cornetto trilogy. Kind of by a lot. A big part of that is because I have terrible cross-associations with it but Shaun's my favorite movie ever and the World's End was delightful.) And most of the horror on this list is comedy-horror. Sinister is my least favorite on the list but also the only movie that has ever caused me to lose sleep.

Memento is fascinating. It's such a masterpiece of POV and structure. I can't even express the awesome.
