Name your top 10 films!

[LightspeedJack]

Yeah, yeah I know this type of thread has been done to death but I feel like a bit of breezy movie discussion so name your all time top 10 AND a sentence to describe each one. Here goes mine (in no particular order):

The Dark Knight - An intelligent crime thriller with one of the best villain performances of all time.

Pulp Fiction - Awesomeley entertaining and wickedley funny.

Fight Club - Brutal mix of thriller and black comedy.

The Departed - Intense, smart, fast paced gangster movie.

Alien - One of the most suspenseful and influential horror movies with a sci-fi twist.

Priness Mononoke - One of the most beautiful and touching animated films I have ever seen.

Borat - Gut bustingly funny.

Lord of the Rings: Return of the King - An epic ending to one of the most ingrossing fantasy sagas of all time (blows Star Wars out of the water).

The Shawshank Redemption - Heartwarming and brilliantly made.

Donnie Darko - A really though provoking movie that messes with your mind in the best way possible!

The Rocky Horror Picture Show- I obsessed over this film when I was younger and I still love it.
Armageddon- Watched this many times with my dad so it holds a special place in my heart.
Shaun Of The Dead/Hot Fuzz- Because Pegg and Frost are obviously the next messiahs.
The Evil Dead Trilogy- Bruce Campbell... Yeeeeeeeees...
Brain Dead (Or Dead/Alive)- The most notoriously bloody/gory/insane movie I've ever seen.
Noroi: The Curse- One of the best horror movies I've ever seen.
House of 1000 Corpses/The Devil's Rejects- Just...wow.
Planes, Trains and Automobiles- Absolutely hilarious.

[Diligent]

Ghostbusters - Classic blend of thrills and comedy that has yet to find a peer. (As in done something like it as successfully)
Fight Club - Was very pleasantly surprised when I watched this movie.
The Big Lebowski - That's just like, my opinion, man...
12 Monkeys - How can you not love the Terry Gilliam movie that took both Bruce Willis' tough guy image and Brad Pitts pretty boy images and destroyed them?
Taxi Driver - This is my alternate pick that would probably be replaced by Godfather...if I had seen it (please don't hit me.)
Die Hard - I appreciate what it did for modern action cinema.
The Day the Earth Stood Still - No, not the remake. Fuck the stupid remake. It missed the whole point.
A Clockwork Orange - So weird.
Indiana Jones: Raiders and Crusade - THE TWO INDY MOVIES THAT EXIST ARE BOTH GOOD.
Lawrence of Arabia - It's a totally engaging epic.

 

[Vault101]

1.Black swan (awsome film, makes you feel mad while watching)
2.inglorious basterds (very very close second, just an over the top thrill ride start to finish)
3.Wall-e (favorite pixar film )
4.Pulp fiction (again I like Tarantino)
5the fith element (not greatest film every but campy perfection)
6.back to the future triligy (needs no explanation)
7.Requiem for a dream (awsome film, makes you feel on drugs while watching)
8.shawshank redemption (lower because its EVERYONES favorite)
9.hunchback of notredame (favorite disney movie, dark very very dark)
10.Teengae mutant ninja turtles (..dont look at me like at that..)

 

[Goofguy]

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - the Mexican stand-off is my favorite cinematic scene of all time
Kingdom of Heaven: Director's Cut - yeah, it's got Orlando Bloom but I'm more of a big picture guy and the cinematography was fantastic
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - Harrison Ford AND Sean Connery? Yes, please
Hot Fuzz - the way action and comedy should come together
Swingers - I love the dialogue between the guys, their interaction is not unlike that in my circle of friends
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story - this is my guilty pleasure movie. It's pretty low-brow in some places but the cameos and music references are hilarious
Zombieland - pretty much the same reason as Hot Fuzz
Black Hawk Down - a pretty realistic portrayal of combat in a relatively unknown theatre of operations
Office Space - a comedy that everyone can relate to even if you've never worked a white-collar job
Blade Runner: Director's Cut - what appeals to me most is the retro feel of the movie's futuristic setting, the locales make the movie so engrossing

They're pretty simple and non-obscure choices but they always provide the escape and entertainment I look for in movies.

 

[LightspeedJack]

Ok......A bit excited, aren't we Lee?

Not really just bored and also I just got done watching Pulp Fiction. Goddamn I love that movie.

10.Teengae mutant ninja turtles (..dont look at me like at that..)

Props for not giving a fuck.

 

[Scissors61]

Bahumat42, it is almost like looking in a mirror.

Love Eternal Sunshine,Prestige,Shan,Vendetta,Dogs,and Python.
So pretty much what you said, in addition to Pulp Fiction,Scott Pilgrim, and Adaptation.

 

[TFielding]

In no particular order except for High Plains Drifter
1. High Plains Drifter- A (possibly) dead Clint Eastwood goes around serving justice. What's not to like
2. Bridge on the River Kwai- Alec Guinness is just awesome in this, I've only seen one of his other movies and that one I really didn't like.
3. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly- I love Clint Eastwood
4. Marathon Man- Great thriller, all dentists should see it
5. 2001: A Space Odyssey- Pretty much every Science Fiction movie draws from this film, and Dune, but that movie was terrible.
6. All Quiet on The Western Front (1930)- One of the few book to film adaptions where the film got the spirit of the film. The Butterfly scene made me cry a little bit.
7. It's A Wonderful Life- A feel good movie
8. The Godfather- I'm Italian-American, these people are Italian-American
9. 12 Angry Men- For a courtroom movie, it's surprisingly exciting
10. Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid- I love westerns and the ending scene of this is very awesome

 

[Kaland]
