Sorry about the shouting in the title. Don't know what came over me.

As suggested by JimiTorch, sorry, JimiLamp, here's my top ten movies as decided just now, in know particular order, apart from the way I listed them.

You would think that would go without saying. It probably should have done.

2001: A Space Odyssey

Memento

Goodfellas

The Matrix

The Godfather

Gravity

The Shining

Amelie

Fight Club

Leon

R

Edit: Having thought about it, I could have easily listed another ten, or twenty. But you can see I didn't. Doesn't mean I might not later. After the baahing eases.

Another Edit: Thanks to whoever fixed my title shouting. It does look better. And now I look like a bit of an eejit. No change there, then.
R


Out Of Character - updated


New Used Car

Green

Right Back

The Deuce - OWC - now on STS

I HATE chick flix and rom-coms, so I'll mention a few I actually did like.

Muriel's Wedding
Shag
Thelma and Louise
Tin Cup


I know a lot of people don't like Costner, but I've always liked him since No Way Out.

I've had a top four favourite movies for a while now. Top four is an odd amount though, it should always be at least a top five, and it just so happens I recently watched a film that I've added to make it a top five.

Shawshank Redemption.
Old School.
The Big Country.
Garden State.
The Lego Movie--this is the recently added one, I plan to review it at some point, but want to watch it a few more times first.

And since a top ten was asked for, I'd probably go with these five, though these tend to change from day to day.

Last of the Mohicans.
No Country For Old Men.
Gladiator.
The Sting
The Matrix-- though I sometimes struggle to love this cos of the sequels, but when I can see it as it's own film, it's definitely up there.

Not sure if everyone would describe them as 'great', but for one reason or another, they're all great in my eyes.

Okay, I could get all pretentious and try to create a list that's every film students wet dream, and don't get me wrong I love all of the classics too guys! However, I'm going to base this list off of the movies I can watch over and over again, the ones that would burn out the VCR (if that's how people still watched movies).

The Shining
The Virgin Suicides
Frances Ha
The Breakfast Club
Away We Go
Closer
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
The Parent Trap
Glengarry Glen Ross
Almost Famous

Jaws
Glory
Heat
Saving Private Ryan
Batman(1989)
The first 3 Terminator films (I know they are different stories but I class as one)
The Lord Of The Rings (one long film cut into 3 so it's impossible - and silly really - to rate them separately)
Friday Night Lights
Waterworld
12 Monkeys

This is one of my favorite topics for discussion. Its so hard to narrow a list to just ten. These are in no particular order.

Good Will Hunting
Fight Club
Looper
Django Unchained
No country for old men.
Prisoners
Man on fire
Back to the future
Rear Window
The Bourne Identity trilogy.

This would be my list at the moment.

The Departed
Heat
Eternal Sunshine
LA Confidential
The Untouchables
The Pledge
Polanski's Macbeth
Alien
Her
The Town

I'm with YaTopher re 'at the moment' cause I saw two of his titles: Prisoners & Man on Fire and thought yeah, love those too. And then there's Gravity and True Romance... and Dustin pointing out Sexy Beast - Secrets and Lies is great as well. Okay I'll shut up now cause I've already broken the '10 rule'.

My list changes daily but these are definitely some of my faves.

Narrowing down ten ain't easy. Some others have mentioned could easily be interchangeable. Unforgiven, the pledge is great. Underrated IMO. Raging bull... And it goes on. Here's ten I've seen fairly recently that I've enjoyed, got a kick out of or just left the gears spinning.

Take shelter

Mud

Killer joe

Bug

Martyrs (rarely does a horror flick spook me but this got under my skin)

District 9

The cabin in the woods

Gravity

Seven Psychopaths

Bronson
