Your All-Time Favorite Top Ten Movies
« on: February 07, 2005, 07:50:36 AM »
Okay, here we go, one of the toughest and funnest things you'll ever do -- decide and rank your personal favorite all-time Top Ten Movies from one to 10 with one being best.  

This supplements Megadud's "i've decided" movie thread by asking for a Top Ten list BEFORE commenting on others' choices.  

There are no right or wrong answers, just what movies please you the most and that you'd recommend to the rest of us as films we might want to see and perhaps add to our own favorites list.  

No fair commenting on my list or yours or anyone else's choices UNTIL you share your list. Consider films from ALL categories (drama, comedy, whatever) -- don't just choose category favorites.

Hint:  A real favorite film is one you can enjoy watching again and again, always learning and enjoying something new about it.  Many films are interesting for one viewing but not much more.  

Here are my All-Time Favorite Top Ten Movies (my list does change occasionally, but most selections stand the test of time):

1.  A Man for All Seasons
2.  Fargo
3.  The Last Wave
4.  Amadeus
5.  The Night of the Hunter
6.  Moonstruck
7.  Jesus Christ Superstar
8.  Husbands and Wives
9.  Pulp Fiction
10.  Breaking Away

Goodfellas
Lord of the ring 3
Saving PRivate Ryan
Shrek 2
Bad Boys 2
tombstone
Jarrasic Park
Troy

I don't have any older movies on there because i am young and don't really like many of the older ones....I am not much inot the "history" of movies and i am more concerned with modern day...I have never seen the godfathers...I am also more into comedy and action then anything else...there are a few i would like to putpn but you said ten so there they are...

There are also alot of movies i have not seen and this list could change at anytime..

pulp fiction is certainly a good movie but i hate Terintina...sam L and Jonny T are certainly a couple of the best actors of my time

Hmmm... I don't have a top 10. There's tons of movies I like to watch over and over for many different reasons.

Here's more along the line of the first I could think of:

Action:
Boondock Saints
The Big Hit
Payback
Con Air
Kill Bill
Snatch
True Lies
Army of Darkness
Blade

Comedy:
Animal House
Blues Brothers
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
A Night on Earth
3 O'Clock High
Van Wilder
Clueless
Joe Dirt
Stripes
Blazing Saddles
Princess Bride
L.A. Story

Drama:
Pulp Fiction
Notting Hill (I'm so ashamed)
L.A. Confidential
Fight Club
Good Will Hunting (pretty ashamed there too)
American Beauty
Billy Elliot
Thomas Crown Affair
Empire of the Sun

Off beat:
Dead Man
Donnie Darko
Four Rooms
Best in Show
Spinal Tap
Real Men
O' Brother Where Art Thou
Fargo
Salton Sea

Westerns:
Outlaw Josey Whales
Jeremiah Johnson
Silverado
Open Range
Once Upon a Time in the West
Tombstone
Rooster Cogburn
The Cowboys
True Grit
The Man who Shot Liberty Vallence

Sci-fi/fantasy:
Blade Runner
Starship Troopers
The Last Starfighter
The Soldier
Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Harry Potter series (shame once again)

I walked over to the shelf and didn't make it through "B" before realizing there's 10 more I'd add to the list.

There is no single great movie... there's just parts of movies that are great.
