I love your middle two choices - the Bill Murray version of The Razor's Edge was excellent and Gandhi is fabulous. Given that, I'm going to watch some of the others soon.

I hope you enjoy them. To prepare you, Neither Trainspotting or Gaidai's slapstick movies are anything like Gandhi or The Razor's Edge (yes, the casting seemed perfect to me in the Bill Murray version - everyone was as I envisioned them while reading the book [as opposed to seeing the movie version of Rebecca after reading it in high school, where only the dog seemed to match my expectations]).

great lists with a few exceptions, whoever said citizen kane and cassablanca were that good, 12 angry men was great

I'd rank 12 Angry Men above Kane, below Casablanca.

There was a film about pilots in Rio de Janeiro I saw waaaaay back that I felt was a missed classic, but I can't remember the title, dammit! Guess I need a few more Zany Carters.

The answer to the question, "What's the movie about?": Who cares!

Cheers,

Waterworld. No, no, just kidding. Please don't add that to the list. It belongs in another thread - DVDs to stick under the leg of a table to make it less (or more) wobbly.

I don't bother reading the entire thread, obviously, but let's just throw "Birdcage" in for good measure on the off chance it hasn't been proffered.
