+1 Kung Fu Hustle, may as well have a Stephen Chow comedy.
Remy LaCroix
Lou Thesz' Favorite Son
+1 Grave if the Fireflies
Drive - Stylish, incredible use of sound, amazingly well-paced, and contains one of the coolest main characters ever.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World - Frantic, hilarious, with eye-popping visuals and a brilliant script. Cult classic.
Spirited Away - One of Miyazaki's most famous also happens to be one of his best. Absolute candy to the eyes with a heartwarming and mature script and a sense of fantasy and magic not present in most films. The dub also happens to be quite good.
Man, it's hard to just pick three, but those first two are my top two films and Spirited Away is just more well-known than my real third-favorite movie, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.

500 Days Of Summer
I know I was supposed to nominate 3 but I couldn't resist including 500 Days Of Summer. I wanted to put Scarface & Apocalypse Now in my list but I've just seen they were in the last tournament, so I'm pretty sure they will make it again in this years tournament, and I like to be original in threads, so I refrained myself from picking those two or any other movies that were in the last tournament.
I'll throw in Midnight Express, Clerks, Con-Air & Boyz N' The Hood as honorable mentions.
Has anybody got a link to the nominations thread for the last tournament? I'd like to see which movies were nominated but never made the tournament.
