Topic: Your Top Ten?

I don't know whether this thread is needed or not (as there are similar threads out there), but if it does survive I thought it could be rather interesting.
Anyway, the idea is to post/discuss your top ten favourite films, or your top ten within a certain genre, eg: horror or comedy.

MY TOP TEN:
1)    Pulp Fiction

2)    The Evil Dead

3)    Army of Darkness

4)    For a Few Dollars More

5)    The Thing

6)    El Mariachi

7)    American Psycho

8)    An American Werewolf in London

9)    The Hitcher
10)    True Romance

Re: Your Top Ten?

Since Im awful at ranking things... in no particular order my top ten:
Up
Forrest Gump
Fantastic Planet
The Little Prince
Walk the Line
Christmas Vacation
The Breakfast Club
Ferris Buellers Day Off
Gangs of New York
Napoleon Dynamite

Im probably forgetting some films I love.

Re: Your Top Ten?

Ten is way too few... no order:

The Big Lebowski
Dead Man
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Evil Dead trilogy
I can't choose between : Reservoir Dogs/Pulp Fiction/Inglourious !@#$%^&*, so one of them
Oldboy
M
Fight Club
Magnolia
They Live

I want to put a lot more on the list.

Re: Your Top Ten?

1) Brazil
2) Star Wars Episode 4
3) Memento
4) Citizen Kane (I'm sorry, but it is really that damn good)
5) The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
6) Ed Wood
7) Die Hard (actually has some of the wittiest dialogue ever)
8. Hot Fuzz (BEST. BRITISH COMEDY. EVER)
9) Pulp Fiction (another movie that is just as damn good as everyone says)
10) One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

There is more. 'Batman: The Movie' would be a Number 11. Plus: 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show', 'Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves', 'The Invisible Man' ("I think I'll throttle you!") and 'Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure' are huge guilty-pleasures of mine. Also I really like 'Back to the Future', 'Amadeus', 'The Birds', '2001: A Space Oddessy', 'Shaun of the Dead', 'An American Werewolf in London', 'Dracula 1931', 'The Fisher King', 'Alien', 'Gran Torino' and 'The Social Network'. I've probably missed out a load...

I still have loads more great films I want to see though ('The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford', 'Oldboy', 'The Elephant Man', 'Eyes Wide Shut', 'Vertigo', 'Camelot', 'The Dark Crystal', 'Moon', 'Tideland', 'In the Loop', 'Topsy Turvy', 'Apocalypse Now', The Akira Kurosawa Films - my 'to watch' pile is freaking huge!) I've only recently started to really explore all different kinds of films, plus I'm holding off most of these films until I upgrade to Blu-Ray ('Apocalypse Now' has an excellent looking Blu-Ray release).

Re: Your Top Ten?

I can't really decide what order these go in, I can't decide on which one of my top ten I like the most. But they are (in no particular order):
Jurassic Park - One of my favourite films since I was about 5. Love this film, One of Spielberg's best.
Back to the future - The first is definitely the best, but the sequels are also very good.
Ghost - Brilliant film.
The Frighteners - I'm not normally so keen on Peter Jackson, especially after 'The Lovely Bones', but I think this film is his best by a mile. Love it.
Terminator - Love both the first and second as much. The third is okay, but isn't half as good as those two. I'm still yet to see 'Salvation'.
Twister - Another great film. Great disaster film.
Jaws - I actually don't think the fake shark looks as bad as people say. Considering this is a 70's film.
Indiana Jones - The 3 classics are my favourite, I like them all equally. The 4th's okay, but I prefer the originals.
Star Wars - Again, the originals are better, but the new ones aren't bad.
The Mummy - the first two are brilliant. Considering how badly most sequels go, the second one, in many ways is as good/better than the first. Shame the 3rd wasn't nearly as good.

I also have loads of others, like PotC, Total Recall, War of the worlds, Armageddon, The others and E.T. Toy story and Shrek are also in there too somewhere.

Re: Your Top Ten?

In order:

Star Wars- Best movies ever made. Nuff said.
2001: A Space Odyssey- This film is so much better than a lot of new films because they obviously put lots of thought into it and didn't just show explosion after explosion like so many current movies do.
Napoleon Dynamite- This is practically the funniest movie ever. Epically quotable.
Dark Star- This is also the funniest movie ever but it also has spaceships so that gives it a high rating.
Nacho Libre- Also funniest ever. Especially, "Get that corn outta my face!" Very quotable, too.
2010: The Year we Make Contact- I prefer the story of this one to 2001, but I don't think the film was directed as well as Kubrick did on the first.
Tron- heh heh.
Tron: Legacy- I dunno why I liked this so much. It had horrid cinematography and acting, but I still loved it.
A Town called Panic- LOL.
A Series of Unfortunate Events- Haha, this movie is so great. It has nice music too. And it's hilarious, a worthy adaptation of the books.

Re: Your Top Ten?

Carrie - My favorite movie, it's just - wow.

Mean Girls - The girls are mean, and I like mean people.

Halloween - I love the soundtrack and cinematography, Carpenter is a genius.

The Last House on the Left - It's great aside from Wes Craven's random comedy inserts following the rape scenes.

Pulp Fiction/Reservoir Dogs - It's hard to choose between them.

M - Creepy and influential thriller, man, this film gives me so many ideas.

Suspiria - Dario Argento is genuis.

Deep Red - Great atmosphere, soundtrack, it's fantastic.

A Clockwork Orange - This film never gets old.

Eyes Wide Shut - I love the atmosphere and acting.

Transformers 2
Transformers 3 (best Transformer ever!)
Bad Boys 1

The Dark Knight
Inception
Transformers 3
Terminator 2
Star Wars Episode I
Star Trek (2009)

Tron Legacy
Iron Man

Back In Black!

Not sure if joking...

Anyway, I have no idea what my top 10 would be. I loved The Land Before Time when I was a kid just as much as I love movies like Pulp Fiction now. I'm not sure how I'd be able to narrow down a list when I appreciate different movies in completely different ways.

Edit: I just realised it looks like I downvoted you for that. I up-rated it to offset the negative. To whoever downvoted Thunderbolt's post: really? You're going to downvote someone for having an opinion?

Re: Your Top Ten?

I guess I'll give this a try. mini/smile
I'm not sure if this will be perfect, and I may be forgetting some, but it'll be close to it.
(I'm just going to list a series as one thing)

Okay...

The Lord of the Rings
Star Wars
The Dark Knight
Nightmare Before Christmas
Pirates of the Caribbean
Harry Potter
Muppets Treasure Island
Wall-E
Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

I love many more. But those are some of my favorite movies ever. mini/smile
I could watch them again, and again...
Slightly out of order, and some might be changed around, maybe replaced with movies not on here. But I'm pretty sure Lord of the Rings is my number 1.

Re: Your Top Ten?

American Beauty
Se7en
Unforgiven
Léon: The Professional
Pulp Fiction
Ed Wood
No Country For Old Men
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
