Hmmm

Top Ten Movies? "As you wish."

With my ultra-busy schedule, I guess my test of a good movie is if I'll sacrifice the time to watch it more than once. For this reason, only a couple comedies make the list.

Casablanca (Bogey defined cool. Ingrid Bergman stops my heart. Probably the movie with the most quotable lines)
Ladyhawke (Rutger Hauer and Michelle Pfeifer uber-romance. They're cursed. By day he's a man and she's a hawk, by night she's a woman and he's a wolf. At sunrise/sunset when they almost meet it's heart-wrenching.)
Braveheart ("Why are you helping me?" "Because of the way you are looking at me right now." I fell in love with Sophie Marceau.)
Gone With The Wind (I don't know nothing 'bout birthin' no babies!)
It's A Wonderful Life (All-time feel-good movie. Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed.)
The Shawshank Redemption (I stopped in the restroom at the theater after watching this. A 50-yr-old white man and 50-yr-old black man looked at each other, paused, said "that was a great movie,” and shook hands. Hard to believe Stephen King wrote this)
The Princess Bride ("Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." The book is even better.)
The Sixth Sense (Halley Joel Osment: A star is born. Bruce Willis: A leopard changes his spots. The ending hit me like a freight train.)
Star Wars (Studio let Lucas make this only because American Graffiti was successful)
The Godfather (Part I, though part II was great also)

…And tied for 11th place. I just couldn’t leave these unmentioned:
The Matrix (Great action sequences, innovative cinematography, and thought-provoking story)
Die Hard (Pure, unadulterated action)
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Three hours, two love stories, one great movie.)
Groundhog Day (It's a romance. No, it's a comedy! Andie MacDowell is a sophisticated beauty)
The Usual Suspects (Surprise ending that isn’t cheap or contrived)
The Seven Samurai (The original Crouching Tiger… karate flick with a story)
Notorious (Carey Grant and Ingrid Bergman!)
To Catch a Thief (Carey Grant and Grace Kelly!)
Se7en (“Be my wrath!” Very disturbing movie. I walked out of the theater in a fog.)
Citizen Kane (Took me a while to appreciate this movie)
Sense and Sensibility (I was in a “sensitive” mood when I first saw this movie. So sue me.)

TR's mention reminded me of the war movies and westerns that I left off:
Tora Tora Tora
The Bridge on the River Kwai
The Outlaw Josie Wales
Unforgiven

So I listed 25 movies for a top ten list. What're you gonna do, DF me?

TR

Many excellent choices here. I'll just add a few comedies:

Deuce Bigelow, Male Gigilo

Dumb and Dumber

The Party(Peter Sellers)

Almost any WW2 film, especially

Tora, Tora, Tora,

Midway,

Run Silent, Run Deep

Battle of the Bulge

OMG,

I can't believe I forgot to include my favorite John Wayne and Clint Eastwood movies! Naturally I like them all, but my two favs of each are "McClintock" (I'm sorry, but that spanking scene at the end just turns me on ). And for Clint Eastwood, tho I LOVE the Dirty Harry movies, "The Outlaw Josey Wales" is still my fav. The old Indian says:"The white man has been sneaking up on us for years". Too good.
