Currently going for the "Most Inactive" BiM award.

Okay I've been thinking about this for the past few days and I think I might have my top ten narrowed down. However ask me again at a later date and that might change.

My top ten (In no particular order)

Chinatown
The Dark Knight
Casablanca
Beauty and The Beast
Pinocchio
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
2001: A Space Odyssey
Empire Strikes Back
Sunset Boulevard
Ratatouille
Blade Runner

Oh wait that's 11...

No one else has Metropolis in their list?

This is certainly a toughy...
In no particular order my list is roughly this:

Star Trek (1960's - 2013)
Lord of the Rings
The Dark Knight trilogy
Inception
Interstellar
The Patriot
Gladiator
Lone Survivor
District 9
and just to throw the curve...
Babe

Basically anything by Christopher Nolan ('cause he's a genius), and anything with a soundtrack by Hans Zimmer ('cause he's a genius) is gonna make my list.

Imma just gonna write some words and see how many I get:

The LEGO Movie
Star Wars: The Original Trilogy
Godzilla (1954)
Forrest Gump
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Airplane
Pulp Fiction
Back to the Future
Hearts of Darkness

There's a whole lot more, but I think that covers me pretty well.

Youtube @TheRealSonjira I consider it a personal defeat if my pee is not perfectly clear every time.]

Sorry I've written so much, I've been meaning to record my favourite films for a while so this was a good opportunity. As always there are probably films that I've forgotten that would make it on here, and I'd probably like some of these less on a rewatch (though I've watched them all, bar Interstellar and Butch Cassidy, at least twice).

In no particular order...
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles- one of the warmest, funniest films I've ever seen. It moves effortlessly from deeply moving in some scenes to utterly hysterical in others. John Candy and Steve Martin are the perfect combination, the latter being relatable and former annoying yet lovable.
The Back to the Future Trilogy- close to the perfect trilogy of films, if I had to rate them I’d go 1-3-2 but it’s pointless as they really are one in three. These films are just special, I don’t know what it is exactly- perhaps the charm of a Delorean time machine, the inoffensive nature of it all, the plot that is gripping but never takes itself too seriously, the epic score, the brilliant range of characters, the endlessly quotable lines… but please, please, leave this trilogy as it is.
Interstellar- perhaps it’s a bit premature to put a film 4 months old on my top ten, but this was everything I wanted it to be and more. I don’t think any other film has captured space as perfectly as Interstellar- it’s emptiness, isolation, and pure thrill. It was 169 minutes but I’d happily have watched it for another 50, if just to bask in the glory of the soundtrack, possibly the best of any film on this list.
The Dish- probably the least known film on here, this Australian film tells the mostly-true story of how the one small step for man was broadcast via a radio telescope in a sheep paddock in New South Wales. It captures the feeling of the Summer of 1969 brilliantly, partly down to an excellent soundtrack of music from that period, leaving you with a sense of the great hope and optimism of that time. It also has some of the funniest dialogue I’ve ever heard. Highly recommended.
The Avengers- I was tempted to just put ‘The MCU’ on here, as I really love what they’ve done so far and think it’s got a very bright future, but that would mean including Iron Man 2 and Thor 2 on my top ten… so I’ve chosen 2012’s The Avengers, which sums up everything really great about it, though both The Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy are just as good. I wouldn’t be surprised if Age of Ultron surpasses it.
Frequency- again, somewhat lesser known, but a wonderfully warm, feel good film.
Groundhog’s Day- takes a very good idea for a film and executes it in the best way possible. I’m not sure I need to say much more.
The Star Wars trilogy- the Star Wars franchise is so bloated and close to ruined these days that I hesitated to include it on this list, but let’s not allow everything since 1982 to take away from the brilliance of The Original Trilogy. My personal favourite is Return Of The Jedi, and I’m sure film critics would disagree, but I think it’s a near-perfect resolution. I am cautiously optimistic for this December’s offering.
Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid- none of my words could do this film justice.
So I Married An Axe Murderer- I’m not entirely sure what makes this film so great, but it’s brilliantly funny and like a few others on this list, has endlessly quotable dialogue between characters. Not particularly impressive technically, but you don’t really notice when you’re rolling around on the floor trying to breath...
Skyfall- the earlier Bond films blur into one for me so I went with this one, luckily it's fantastic.

Edit: how could I forget The Princess Bride?

Interesting to know, I only saw it on DVD in the last couple years.
Haha, what do you dislike about the guy getting shot in the hand?
