    1. T2
    2. The Godfather/Goodfellas
    3. Pulp Fiction
    4. Gladiator/Braveheart
    5. Matrix
    6. Infernal Affairs
    7. Grave of the Fireflies
    8. Life is Beautiful
    9. Silence of the Lambs
    10. Forest Gump

    Are the Infernal Affairs fans looking forward to the Departed? The trailers look like Scorcese hasn't changed the original that much.

    Big
    Donnie Darko
    Forrest Gump
    A Clockwork Orange

    HMM did put "Chicago" on his list, if you're referring to musicals. I'd put "Grease" on my list if I had more room.

    M*A*S*H
    The Big Lebowski
    Manhattan
    The Godfather
    Mulholland Dr.
    Macbeth
    Cries and Whispers
    The Shining

    That's pretty tough. I wish you'd have said top 50. I could put anything Kubrick in there (Eyes Wide Shut deserves mention). I'll probably be back to edit once I see some more replies from yall.

    Spent some time thinking about this, since I've never actually sat down and made a list. There may be better movies than those I've named (The Godfather, Schindler's List etc.), better individual performances from the actors involved (Philadelphia, The Insider etc.), but I'm assuming this thread is about the 10 movies I enjoyed - and still enjoy - watching the most. So, in reverse order:

    Honourable mention - Blade Runner, Scent Of A Woman, Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade, Moulin Rouge!, Deep Impact

    10 - Far And Away (good old-fashioned love story, beautifully done)
    9 - A Beautiful Mind (this was generally solid, Crowe and Connelly are excellent)
    8 - Joe Versus The Volcano (I know I'm in the minority here, but I thought it was a clever little flick.. Meg Ryan's three roles don't hurt either)
    7 - Monsters, Inc. (my favourite CG film)
    6 - Forrest Gump (one of Hanks' best performances)
    5 - Back To The Future (all three were great, but I liked the first one the most)
    4 - Sleepless In Seattle (my favourite romantic comedy.. again, Meg Ryan :p)
    3 - A Few Good Men (I've watched this sooo many times)
    2 - Star Wars (I'll cop out and pick the entire original trilogy.. Episodes I, II, III are dead to me)
    1 - The Shawshank Redemption (flawless)
