Your All Time Top 10 Movies

This is where you post your top 10 list of your favourite films of all time. I have been thinking about this for quite some time now and it actually is really hard to pen it down. Even more difficult is to organise your 10 favourite films in a fair, descending order. Anyways, I think I have finally managed to complete the task and here comes my list:

10. The Shining
9. Forrest Gump
8. The Prestige
7. Usual Suspects
6. Escape from Alcatraz
5. Seven
4. True Romance
3. Kill Bill vol. 1 and 2
2. Fight Club
1. Pulp Fiction

I am not even sure if this list is fair. I definitely think these are my ten favourite films, but the order might shift depending on my mood. Top 5 is a very close call.

Which are your favourites? And feel free to bash the taste of previous posters.

 

1. On the water front
2. Rebel with out a cause
3. Brave heart
4. Patton
5. Titanic
6. Billy Jack
7. West side story
8. Saving private Ryan
9. Hack saw ridge
10. Chicago

.

 

1. Bladerunner
2. Alien
3. The World According to Garp
4. A Brave New World (BBC)
5. I Spit on Your Grave (original)
6. Flesh Gordon
7. Plan 9 from Outer Space
8. Lifeforce
9. Monte Python's The Holy Grail
10. When Night is Falling

 

1. The Terminator / Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1984 & 1991)
2. Back to the Future Trilogy (1985, 1989 and 1990)
3. Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)
4. 28 Day's Later (2002)
5. Queen of the Damned (2002)
6. The Harder They Come (1972)
7. Enter The Dragon (1973)
8. The Simpsons Movie (2007)
9. Vampire in Brooklyn (1995)
10. The Matrix (1999)

 

You put your list in the wrong order. the first one shoud be 1 and the tenth one 10, not the other way around. None of yours make my Top 10 though. I will assemble a list at some point, at least a list of my top 10 favorite movies people have heard of. I have to decide if I want The Omen or The Exorcist as my top horror movie first.

 

Definitely a contender with Mel Brook's History of the World in the comedy category.

Okay in no special order...Holy Grail, History of the World II, Ordinary People, Exorcist, Omen, American History X, Boyhood, Blackhawk Down, Goodwill Hunting and ET Though I throw Honorable Mentions to Lord of The Rings and StarTrek franchises but that would eat up my entire ten spots.

 

I could only come up with 5 off the top of my head:

Bladerunner

Groundhog Day

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

The Great Escape

Stripes

 

Have never seen the last one. Good choices. I wish they would remake Khan. Good story but the film does not hold up well with its cheesy sets, costumes, and Ricardo what's his name's blow out gray hair.

 

Never seen Stripes? It's Bill Murray at his most Murray-est. It's the film that inspired me to join the Army.

As for Khan, they actually did remake it as Star Trek Into Darkness. See my review here. But the short version is that the original was better.

 

Into the darkness was a prequel to the Wrath of Khan. One of the few things I did not like Cumberpatch in. He played Khan far too emotionless. I would like to see them do a true remake of the original but I guess they will wait until shatner is dead to go down that road.

No I have never seen Stripes. I think Caddyshack and Groundhog Days might be the only of his movies I have seen all of. I have seen bits of Ghostbusters but it was a little too cheesy to sit through the whole thing. Of course, of that generation, I totally left off The Jerk. Another good movie. I was born a poor black child

 

1 Serenity
2-5 (undecided on order)
-Last of the Mohicans
-Fifth Element
-V for Vendetta
-Star Trek (2009)
6-8
-Tears of the Sun
-Aliens
-Army of Darkness
cant think of the rest...

 

Metropolis [1927]
Primer
The Man from Earth
Last Night [Canadian 1998]
The Lathe of Heaven
Solaris
All that Jazz
Sphere
Happy Accidents
Sleep Dealer [Mexican science fiction film]

Brazil should be in there too.
2001 really should be in there.

A bit disturbing but historic in its context, Metropolis was Hitlers favorite movie. It is about oppression of the masses by the elite. Hitler and I have the same favorite movie...ACK!!! LOL! But its a great movie and has been recognized internationally as one of the greatest works of art of the 20th Century.

The Man from Earth - Brilliant writing and a wonderful plot. The whole movie is just six people talking. And it is captivating - the best writing I've seen since 12 Angry Men.

Primer - I had to watch it five times before I almost had it all figured out. It is the driest but most intellectually challenging movie you will ever see.

 

The Exorcist and The Shining are the best horror films ever. But, I am not a big fan of horror. The Shining is a masterpiece though. The Omen is very good too.

 

The Shining is a bit tooooo slow for me

 

I CANNOT believe "Malibu's Most Wanted" is not on that list.

 

The Ten Commandments

Gone With the Wind

The Matrix

Devil's Advocate

Birdman of Alcatraz

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington

The Last Samurai

Casablanca

Citizen Kane

The Manchurian Candidate (1964)

Gladiator

Ben Hur

Dr. Zhivago


OK, that's more than ten. Sue me.

 

Is this meant to be some kind of sarcastic remark on my taste or what?

 

1) Straight Time.....Dustin Hoffman and Harry Dean Stanton

2) True Confessions....Robert DiNiro and Robert Duval

3) Patton.....George C Scott

4) Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid....Redford and Newman

5) The Falcon and the Snowman....Sean Penn and Timothy Hutton

6) The Big Lebowski....Jeff Bridges and John Goodman....(am I wrong?)

7) The Fabulous Baker Boys....Michelle Phieffer and the Bridges Brothers

Pappion.....Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman

9) Hoosiers.....Gene Hackman and Barbara Hershey

10) The Godfather....Marlon Brando

 

I think I have to make two lists for this, one listing what I think intellectually are the ten best films ever made, and then one listing the ten films I actually watch repeatedly. I'll deliberately leave out the videos that are not films, like the Reader's Digest video, Nature's Symphony, which I watch more than probably any movie.

Ten Best Films Ever Made:
1. The Gods Must Be Crazy
2. Top Hat
3. The General
4. Gigi
5. Schindler's List
6. Singin' in the Rain
7. Metropolis
8. Modern Times
9. The Third Man
10. The Wizard of Oz

The Ten Movies I Actually Watch Repeatedly:
1. DIE HARD
2. Young Frankenstein
3. Gigi
4. Modern Times
5. The General
6. My Fair Lady
7. Beat the Devil
8. Yellowbeard
9. The Little Mermaid
10. Jet Li's Fearless

The Gods Must Be Crazy would be #1 on the second list, but I've seen it so many times now that I can play the whole movie in my head without ever putting it on. Die Hard, on the other hand, is always fresh, even if all the styles are stuck in the 80s. Jet Li's Fearless is a recent addition and may drop off the list after I've seen it a few more times, but at the moment, it's one of my top 10 to-re-watch movies.

 

I don't know. *shrugs* I tried thinking about it but I just don't really have a favorite movie I guess. I've liked a lot of different movies that I've seen, and I am probably forgetting half of them.

 

God, no! This one is on my "Top-Overrated-List" . It is just soooo boring and most certainly will put you to sleep.

 

Coward. Just admit your taste is bad and that you are too asmhamed to share a list.

You probably like PS I Love You and sh*t.

 

I just saw Malcolm X (1992) for the first time; It was alright.

 

I bet Ernest Goes to Camp is in there
