List Your Top 10 Favorite Movies of All Time

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

My "Honest Top 10" isn't very diverse:

*list"

I find it interesting that when all is said and done there really isn't a lot of room for cbm's in my Top 30.

 

[Wor-Gar]

That was my pick, not jye's.

I know, I have no idea why when I quoted you it changed. Seriously. Weird. I'll fix it.

 

[Khev]

I *think* Cap trilogy + Batman Begins would crack my Top 40. But even that starts to fill up fast when I realize I had yet to include Die Hard, ALIEN, Braveheart, Black Hawk Down, etc.

 

[jye4ever]

Bridge on river who.

 

[Khev]

I know, I have no idea why when I quoted you it changed. Seriously. Weird. I'll fix it.

But otherwise yeah, BotRK is just breathtaking from beginning to end, and a very obvious visual inspiration for much of Spielberg's Temple of Doom.

Man can't live on tights and capes alone.

Somehow Khev manage to still break the "list every movie in a trilogy as one" rule......I was so proud reading your list until that last part where you listed the exceptions ....


Orders not important if your in the top 1%


Empire Strikes Back
The Godfather
Dawn of the Dead (Original)
Jaws
The Dark Knight
The Thing 1985
An American Werewolf in London
Raiders Of the Lost Ark
Back to the Future
Lilo and Stitch

Its hard to narrow down to 10.....tried to think if I could only watch 10 movies for the rest of my life.......

What would they be?

That was only after I gave a legit Top 10. The other films weren't exceptions, they were my 11-30.

Ah yes, quality films. Best of the best. 5/7, all of them. Top legit! It'd be easy to just gather the best of the bestest, but I sprinkled in some movie-spice of my own!

Spoiler

In no particular order:


1) Schindler's List (1993)

2) Skyfall (2012)

3) The Social Network (2010)

4) The Dark Knight (2008)

5) The Gladiator (2000)

6) Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011)

7) The Prestige (2006)

8) The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)

9) There Will Be Blood (2007)

10) Macbeth (2015)


Honorable Mentions: The Last Temptation of Christ (1988), 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), No Country For Old Men (2007), Blade Runner (1982) & The Devil's Advocate (1997)

If you asked me tomorrow, or in 3 hours, it could very well change, but for what it's worth, this is my list ATM.

Pirates is a fun adventure film with great sets, characters, and a great theme.

Someone made a top 10 favorites movie characters thread a few years ago, and Sparrow is on my top 10 list.

Top ten lists are tough because if you have a definitive favorite, then it almost doesn't matter what's #2 -10.

That reminds me, didn't we have a "Top 10 Fictional Characters 20XX" thread going on, starting from 2014 or so? Someone should make one for this year.

Awwww Khev really?

 

[Khev]

Great list darthkostis but why do you include Rey with the riff raff?

That's a good list.

I made a favorites fictional characters thread too, but it wasn't just movies, it was from anything.

Anyway, there are no new characters this year or last year that would make my top 10.

However, X-23 is one of my favorites now, and one of my favorite female characters along with The Bride and Cat Woman.

Great list darthkostis [...]

[...] but why do you include Rey with the riff raff?

'Cause she's the Riri/Moon-Girl of the Star Wars Universe. She's the very definition of a Mary Sue.

 

[Victοr]

That's a good list.

Yeah, that's what I was talking about! We should have it this year as well. I always enjoy making a collage and typing mini-essays about fictional characters!

guess most of you never saw a movie made before 1970..................some of these lists are a joke(i hope)

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I just noticed that 9 out of those 10 are from the 2000's

 

[Captain Clown]

CHRISTOPHER NOLAN'S T H E D A R K K N I G H T > A Trip to the Moon

"Oh noes, folks on the Internet have different tastes, I better make a condescending comment to assert my opinion as superior!". Anybody could list old flicks with cultural significance or go deep underground. Some could even go outside of Hollywood and delve into European Cinema or Indie US Films, which are more often than not, much more daring and poignant that the most well known movies. But that wouldn't be a list of favourites, that'd a pretentious list to impress strangers on the 'net. And I'd like to think folks here have enough confidence to not submit to this tired old trope.

My 0.02 $ anyway...

Eh, I never had a hang-up with dates. A good flick is a good flick, regardless of its time of release. And more often than not, an entertaining movie will over a "better" one in my book. I can appreciate a very-well made movie for what it is, but one that's both very entertaining, and well-made, but of "worse" quality compared to the first, will win a spot in my faves list.

It's the same thing with anything, really. There are characters much deeper and complex than Batman out there, but for the sheer fact that it's Batman, he, and many other mainstream characters, will win a spot in Top 10 lists much easier than someone from an underground indie book, or from a non-US Comic Book.
