Less than impressed by Dark City? I think you need to watch it again. One of the greatest films ever made, bar none. I was one of the very fortunate few who saw it in theatres (I was 12 and had been waiting two years for it, I was an awesome kid like that). Roger Ebert has only done dvd commentary on a few films, one is Dark City and the others include Double Indemnity and Citizen Caine and he named it the best film of 1998. His great movies review is one of my favourites he's written...he went to a convention where they basically spent three days going through Dark City shot by shot. You really should watch it again, it's one of the few films that garners a 'marvel of filmmaking' label from me.
I chose:
Cube
The Truman Show
Pandorum (my nom, glad to see it's doing decent, BEN FOSTER RULES)
Planet of the Apes
Dark City
Aliens
It's funny, outisde the more recent Pandorum...these are some of my favourite childhood films. Other kids were watching Disney, I was watching Cube.
