Name your top 10 films!

[New Troll]

No serious order and would probably change if given more thought...

The Crow
Se7en
Grandma's Boy
The Wedding Singer
Lord of the Rings (trilogy)
Die Hard
Kill Bill (both volumes)
Hero (Jet Li)
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
Dazed and Confused

Okay, definitely not a completely serious list, but these are definitely movies I've watched more than a few times and am perfectly willing to watch more than a few more. Shoot, forgot Lost Boys. And The Last Boyscout. And Clerks. And...

 

[Tartarga]

1. Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Man, making this list took much longer than it should have. There was a time when it was almost completely dominated by Miyazaki movies, now they only cover half the list. Why does that make me feel sad?

[ANImaniac89]

1) A Clockwork Orange: a surreal and humorous story that asks some interesting questions about mortally, Good vs Evil and the role of Government in criminal rehabilitation.

2) Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A bold counter-cultural work that declares that the American dream is dead and we are all to busy humping the corpse to notice. Hunter S. Thompson's best work made visual by Terry Gilliam ( A Clockwork Orange and Fear and Loathing are also my favorite books be there places are switched)

3) Fight Club: Dark, Funny, and also strangely insightful with an awesome twist ending " I am Jack's Wasted Life".

4) Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas: used to higher on my list till the hipsters ruined it for me, still a top notch musical with some awesome visuals.

5) OldBoy: One of the best Revenge thrillers I have ever seen with unsettlingly ambiguous and shocking ending.

6) The Collective Works of Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki: Do I even need to explain this one.

7) Grinhouse (theatrical version): Two kick ass movies with goofy trailers in between.... Awesome.

8) Kill Bill (both part): when put together the Kill Bill Saga has almost every thing I love about movies in it.


9) Bram Stroker's Dracula: I Love this over the top erotic retelling of Bram Stroker's fable that in my opinion is better then Universal's 1931 Dracula (deploy Flame shield).


10) The Princess Bride: A simply awesome film that I fought tooth and nail to not watch when I was a Kid.

[FoOd77]

I honestly can't name ten of my favorite movies, but, I can name the first three that come to mind as top contenders for favorite movie. And they are, in no particular order...

The Fountain

Moon

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

All three are excellent films, and I'd reccomend them to anybody looking for a really great movie. Also, they all have amazing scores. Come to think of it, that might have something to do with why I love them so much... A great score makes a good film a superb one, if you ask me.

 

[Dark Knifer]

1. District 9 aliens, robots, weapons that make people explode, deep meaning about politics. This is pretty much the movie for me.
2. Inception A movie that explains it's premise really well then acts with it for great results.
3. Scott pilgrim vs the world A really funny movie with some really clever bits, funny characters and some cool video game references.

...And that's about it. I have a lot of movies I like but I don't really think to put them in a list like this. These are the only ones I would be willing to do that for.

 

[Flamezdudes]

Let The Right One In (Favourite Film)
Scott Pilgrim Vs The World
OldBoy
Back To The Future
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

[Charles_Martel]

No order

Unforgiven - Great script and great performances.

Pulp Fiction - Great lines and with a non-linear plot than works.

A Clockwork Orange - Fantastic Art Direction and a great performance by McDowell.

The Duellists - Beautiful film. I love the ending.

Army of Darkness - Not much on comedies but I love this movie. This is my Boomstick!

Se7en - This movie made me go WOW after I saw it.

No Country for Old Men - One of the best villains in movie history. A modern day western.

There Will Be Blood - Felt almost like a horror film to me. Great performance by Daniel Lewis.

Black Hawk Down - This what I imagine combat to be like. Brutal and real.

Goodfellas - Favorite movie by my favorite director.

 

[SckizoBoy]

No Avatar *result!* (that I could see, did skim)

In no particular order:

Ben-Hur - the Count of Monte Cristo, Latin edition, I could watch the chariot race over and over
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon - if only for the fighting, and best wire-fu movie for a while (still)
Grave of the Fireflies - (won't bother commenting)
Stalingrad - (original in German) one of the best anti-war films I've seen
Lord of War - one of a kind, and all the more depressing because of it
Lawrence of Arabia - what a debut by Peter O'Toole, great drama and set pieces
Spartacus - if only for the line 'I'm not an animal!' 'You may not be an animal, but that hardly makes you a man'
Waterloo - the film about the Hundred Days, none better (none others, really, granted)
Tora!Tora!Tora! - 7th Dec 1941 as it really was (for the most part)

and for funzies - Kelly's Heroes - Donald Sutherland (lol)

I'd have included the Longest Day, but it was a bit too impersonal for my liking (but points for epicness).

You really like war movies!

 

[SckizoBoy]

You really like war movies!

The 300 Spartans (not 300, that CGI rubbishy muscle-fest) would have been there, but for some reason, I couldn't get Richard Egan's accent out of my head (good actor, don't get me wrong). Also, A Bridge Too Far, but that Leopard... oh, that Leopard really stung, awesome book though (once again, points for epicness).

Fun fact about Spartacus, the guy who played Julius Caesar went on to be ambassador to Mexico.

[Jazzyjazz2323]

Uncle Buck-It's just a great movie
Fast times at Ridgemont High-Sean penns best performance,don't even try to argue otherwise you're wrong period.
Mr.Smith goes to Washington-one of the best performances I've ever seen.
Citizen Kane-I love Orson Welles
The Outlaw Josey Wales-Clint Eastwood being a badass
Gran Torino-Clint Eastwood being an old racist badass
Shawshank Redemption-Doesn't need any elaboration
Most Bond films-To many vie for a top position so I'm just going to say most of the films
The Departed-This movie got me watching actual good movies
The Godfather-Marlon Brando doing what every actor wish he could do.
Patton-One of the greatest American films ever made and George C. Scott's performance should be lauded as one of the best.

 

[Gentleman_Reptile]

Argh....as much as I love talking about movies I hate having to pick a definitive list. I'll give it my best...

1--Watchmen-- A near perfect adaptation of a groundbreaking graphic novel that deals with the stereotypes of heroism and identity in the most interesting and scarily accurate ways.

2--Fight Club-- Sorry but I'm not supposed to talk about it.

3-- Scott Pilgrim Vs The World-- A bold an colorful film that took a plunge and used videogame references as clever metaphors that speak volumes about life, love, and self-identity

4--Sin City-- Four out of four entrances so far adapted from the pages of a book, comic or graphic novel, I guess good adaptations ARE possible. Anyway, Sin City is the perfect example of something that exists purely within its own world for the sake of nothing but itself, and comes out a shining beacon of excellennt filmmaking, storytelling, acting, visuals, and Jessica Albas backside.

5--Terminator 2: Judgment Day-- Oh come on you really expect any sort of reason as to why this movie is freaking awesome? Two words: "Mini" and "Gun".

6--The Lord of The Rings Trilogy. A masterpiece of technical filmmaking, and also taught me how to do a sweet Gollum impression that freaks out all my freinds.

7--Aliens-- The feeling of the Alien Queen breathing down my neck still haunts my nightmares to this very day, and it takes an exceptional film to create a monster that can do that.

8--The Dark Knight-- Batman Begins set us up, and The Dark Knight knocked us down. Breathing life into what many thought was a dead and stupid franchise, this movie is fantastic in any department you care to name.

9--Ong Bak-- Proved in spectacular fashion that the realm of action stars who didnt need wires and guns to look cool and blow your mind was still alive and kicking. Kicking hard. In the face.

10--Forrest Gump-- Tom Hanks can make anything watchable, and while I was tempted to put Saving Private Ryan or The Green Mile, I decided that the movie that would have DIED without his performance best represents the mans talents.

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

OK, I'll give this a shot. In no particular order:

Memento: The movie. Is backwards. That's just awesome.
Batman Begins: Looking back....I think I enjoyed this more then The Dark Knight. Maybe. I know I'm in the minority on this one, but...Fuck it, that movie kicked ass. Great origin story, with about 10 thousand different metaphors and recurring symbols skillfully woven in to the fabric of the whole movie.
Inception: Well, among (lot's of) other things, THEY BUILT A SPINNING HALLWAY. Again, that's just awesome. (Gee, AM I Christopher Nolan fanboy? I hadn't noticed.)
The Prestige:The movie is set up like a giant magic trick, which is awesome. Plus, he does really cool things with respect to the two main leads, which I won't spoil here. But it's really fucking cool.
The Dark Knight: Mainly because it's very well-written and Heath Ledger is was a badass.
V For Vendetta: Brilliantly written and executed. V is one of the best characters of all time. And I'm always a fan of Natalie Portman.
Toy Story 3:Oh, you know. It's fucking Pixar. Plus, I actually went to college about a month after seeing this movie, so this movie was basically MADE for me and people my age. And I appreciate that.
District 9:Blistering action, great characters(the Prawn beat the SHIT out of the Navi.) and deep political undertones. Seriously, where the fuck is "District 10"? TELL me you wouldn't watch that.
Black Swan: Very, VERY well done movie. Natalie Portman's best performance ever, and...well, come on. She makes out with Mila Kunis. It had to be said. Seriously, though, great movie.
Gangs of New York: BILL. THE MOTHERFUCKING. BUTCHER. Seriously, go watch this movie. It's one of the most epic things I've ever seen. You will NOT regret it.

Honorable Mentions go to:
Moon
The Simpsons Movie
2001: A Space Odyssey
