I don't want to ask for a "what's your favorite movie?" thread because, let's be real, it's hard to choose just one. So I'm asking for 10 movies you love. Maybe you include your favorite on the list, maybe not. Whatever. Just list 10 films you love.
I'll start, in no particular order.
The Usual Suspects Jackie Brown The Little Mermaid The Princess Bride How to Marry A Millionaire Beauty and the Beast Breakfast at Tiffany's Rosemary's Baby Inception Legally Blonde
Godfather 1&2 best movies ever On the Waterfront Brando & Karl Malden with Eve Marie Ste Meet the Parents Meet the Fockers There’s Something About Mary American Gangster Casablanca has to rank up there with the best ever Anything with Abbot and Costello From Here to Eternity Rebel Without a Cause Deans finest and Natalie wood There’s so many it’s impossible to not miss one Cinema is one of the things that makes this country great.
Blazing Saddles Repo Man Full Metal Jacket Breakfast at Tiffany's Gran Torino Young Frankenstein I Remember Mamma We Were Soldiers. One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest Catch 22
Christmas Vacation Clueless Road Trip Blame it on Rio Varsity Blues Risky Business Old School Revenge of the Nerds Something about Mary We're the Millers
Iron man Iron man 2 Thor Incredible hulk(norton, other hulk was trash) Captain america Avengers Iron man 3 Captain america winter soldier Avengers age of ultron Guardians of the galaxy Ant man Doctor strange Captain america civil war Guardians of the galaxy 2 Spider man homecoming Thor ragnarok Black panther Avengers infinity war Ant man and the wasp X-men days of future past Logan Deadpool Deadpool 2 Batman begins(bale) Dark knight Dark knight rises Batman(keaton) Godzilla(the last one) Kong skull island
Something Wild Godfather 1 and 2 Meet the Parents Airplane Pulp Fiction Reservoir Dogs There's Something About Mary Die Hard Almost any of the John Hughes movies
Goodfellas The Matrix Braveheart Forrest Gump Blazing Saddles Tommy Boy Animal House The Dark Knight Trilogy Star Wars original trilogy Marvel Cinematic Universe (Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, etc)
Scarface (1983) Naked Lunch South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut Fishing with Gandhi Beavis and Butt-head Do America Clerks 2 Strange Days Night on Earth Cheech & Chong's Next Movie Clerks
I'd put Clueless on my list as well (it was between that and Legally Blonde) as well as the ending, as well as Godfather I and III. Haven't scene part III and I'm not interested.
Just gotta have some Disney Classics on there.
And yes, Casablanca is fabulous. I own that as well.
There are a few Hitchcock films that could make the list as well.
And wayyy more Tarantino films than just Jackie Brown. But I find the characters relatable.
Mean Girls G.B.F. The Lord of The Rings Trilogy Cloud Atlas All the Monty Python To Kill a Mockingbird The Butterfly Effect Kill Bill 1 &2 March of the Penguins World’s Greatest Dad
^best part of American Gangster is near the end where Russell Crowe and Denzel are in the room discussing his sentencing and testimony where Denzel says “ My man, My man” two great actors bouncing great lines off of one another just fantastic movie making.
OMG nicespice yes Meangirls. Of course. Another one I love. It's just SO FETCH.
I love Kill Bill 1 & 2 as well (there's no Tarantino film I don't like), but I honestly like volume 1 better.
I'd add Fast Times at Ridgemont High too... I've grown to love Jackson Browne since he did the song "Somebody's Baby" for that film. There's a vid of me dancing to that song at a concert he did here in metro Detroit. I'd share it but there's too many trolls and I'm not wearing makeup lol. I look good without makeup so if I meet anyone of you guys I'd be happy to show you the vid. You can see Jackson in it, we had like front row side seats
So many others are coming to mind. Can't stop at 10.
Chinatown Taxi Driver Kramer vs. Kramer Dog Day Afternoon The French Connection Go Hell or High Water Run Lola Run Entrapment and Zorro (Just because Catherine Zeta Jones was just so gorgeous)
Twentyfive - there are so many scenes of American Gangster I love, including that you mentioned. There is also a great soundtrack (Bobby Womack, Anthony Hamilton!) But Denzel's acting (as well as the script) seals the deal.
Apollo 13 National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Raiders of the Lost Ark March of the Penguins To Kill a Mockingbird Ben Hur Das Boot The Enemy Below Gettysburg (the miniseries) Moby Dick (Gregory Peck version)
Very honorable mention to the Mask of Zorro with Catherine Zeta-Jones, a very fine looking woman. My wife, noting my tongue hanging out, asked why I was so smitten. My reply, "Oh yeah. She's got got it!" earned me several days in the marital doghouse. Totally worth it, lol.
The Godfather (I and II) Magnolia Sideways 12 Angry Men Finding Nemo Inception There's Something about Mary Meet the Parents Princess Mononoke Terminator 2
In no particular order, and oftimes for widely different reasons.
Spaceballs Star Wars Episodes IV - VI Black Panther Spy Game Memento Lord of the Rings trilogy Silverado Saving Private Ryan Pacific Rim Twelve Angry Men (original)
WALL-E Howl's Moving Castle Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls Casino Atlantis: The Lost Empire Interview With A Vampire Sweeney Todd Mean Girls Bring It On: All or Nothing Willy Wonka
So it's a mix/match of kidsy anime shit and some classic shit.
Godfather 1 Godfather 2 Casino Goodfellas Scent of a Woman Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Scarface Die Hard The Empire Strikes Back Dazed and Confused
Pulp Fiction Deer Hunter Rocky 1 Miracle LOTR trilogy Unforgiven Sherlock Holmes : A game of Shadows Anything Matrix The Big Chill A River Runs Through It The Natural
Fletch with Chevy Chase (actually didn't like it that much the first time I saw it but really liked it on subsequent viewings - Chevy Chase is one of the great ones IMO)
The Breakfast Club (thought it was boring the first time I saw it but it def grew on me)
Sixteen Candles (coming of age movie - I could identify with the nerd)
Naked Gun (b/f it came out it'd been a while since I really laughed watching a movie)
Space Balls (hard not to like a movie with John Candy in it)
Stripes (f'ing hillarious - I was 11 when it came out and I saw it in the theater - I think that was the first time I saw bare boobs and the shower-scene it's edged in my mind to this day)
The Last American Virgin (who can't identify if they were a teen when they saw the movie)
Fast Times At Richmond High (a classic)
Rocky III (Mr T caught your eye + I loved the song "Eye Of The Tiger" by Survivor)
Smoky And The Bandit (the TransAm was my fave car growing up)
Duel (1971) - I saw this movie on TV in the late-70s when I was about 7 or 8 while I lived in Cuba - saw it with my brother and cousin whom are 3 years older than me - we saw it late at night and we were scared-shitless
There are way too many favorites for me to just name 10 but I'll throw out a few..
The first 2 Godfathers Raging Bull Goodfellas Apocalypse Now Bladerunner Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid The Missouri Breaks Snatch Ruthless People Road to Perdition Gladiator Kingdom of Heaven Saving Private Ryan Blackhawk Down The whole Ridley Scott Alien series The Departed Patton Used Cars The Man Who Would Be King Apocalypto Thief American Beauty Boogie Nights Catch 22
ACTION/DRAMA: The Untouchables, Patton, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Dirty Harry, Body Heat, The Dirty Dozen, The Right Stuff, Das Boot (German with English sub titles version), The Shootist, The Natural.
These are the movies I'll watch any time they are on.
Coming to America Deadpool Spaceballs Trading Places Harlem Nights Blazing Saddles Pulp Fiction Any MCU movie except Iron Man 3 (terrible movie. if you us promise the Mandarin, give us the Mandarin) Malcolm X Beverly Hills Cop (all 3)
Honorable Mention Star Trek: First Contact The usual suspects 48 hours Naked gun I'm gonna git you Sucka Hollywood Shuffle Wonder Woman Fletch Lean on me A soldiers story Do the Right Thing
Brazil Dr Strangelove: or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb Princess bride 4 brothers Casablanca Blazing Saddles Unforgiven True Grit (2010) Miracle on 34th street (1947) Airplane
Citizen Kane Casablanca Godfather I & 2 Star Wars original trilogy Sergio Leone's "Man With No Name" trilogy Schindler's List A Clockwork Orange Forrest Gump Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Silence of the Lambs
Yes I know it was cheating to combine sequels but it was the only way I could do it.
Nina is "How to Marry A Millionaire" some kind of stripper training video or an actual movie?
I guess along with Chessmaster, i'm wondering why no one else has said Matrix (the first one; the other two not as much). I think there were some later votes. I guess no likes prison movies (this being a SC discussion site might just play a part and for the most part i don't; just too much testosterone and the wrong kind of nudity/sex) but there were some good ones: Shawshank Redemption, Cool Hand Luke and Green Mile.
Not a single vote for Braveheart or Tombstone and only one for Gladiator? Liked Last Samurai more than i thought i would.
Saw some people voting for numerous Marvel and DCEU movies (okay maybe just Marvel). As much as i really liked the Dark Knight trilogy, i'm probably the only one that also liked Batman V Superman or Man of Steel. Didn't like Justice League all that much though. Remember really liking the first two Superman movies a long time ago. The special effects probably don't hold up if i were to watch them again though.
Don't repeat viewings of movies much (wish i had more time) so my list could change if i were to watch these movies over and over again, especially a lot of the 80s cult movies. Remember really enjoying Ferris Bueller's Day Off and to a lesser degree Weird Science when i watched them the one time. I did watch Napoleon Dynamite more than a few times. Did like the first two Rocky's. Even the next two. Not quite the fifth one and never saw the sixth one or Creed. Liked the first two Karate Kids and even the most recent one. I kinda blocked out the third and especially the fourth one, the one with Hilary Swank. RIP Mr. Miyagi.
The Silence of the Lambs The Usual Suspects Kill Bill Vol. 1&2 The Departed Split Marathon Man The Disaster Artist Deadpool The Three Extremes
I can watch the first 4 listed all day everyday for ever. I’d list several animated Disney movies in my all time favorite list but I don’t watch them often because they make me cry. I started bawling during Moana and was consoled by a 2 year old.
After looking at other folks lists -- 10 is not enough
School Daze Hollywood Shuffle China Town Brazil To Kill A Mocking Bird Man in the Gray Flannel Suit Das Boot (German) 12 Angry Men Unforgiven The Best Years of Our Lives Bang the Drum Slowly
Ok here's a second list for me, because yes it's impossible to just pick 10:
American Gangster America Beauty Pulp Fiction The Seven Year Itch Fast Times at Ridgemont High The Godfather Meangirls Rear Window Clueless Practical Magic (lol, I loved it as a kid and still do now)
Bbybunny - glad to see someone else mention The Usual Suspects. Such a great film.
I surprised that there’s no mention of any of the Neil Simon movies for comedy, or anything by Walter Matthau, Jack Lemon, or even Tony Curtis. How about The Sunshine Boys Some like it Hot The Odd Couple Also surprised that no one here mentioned Jaws the greatest thriller ever it kept everyone on the beach the summer it came out Like I said earlier there are so many great American movies it is just impossible to stick to ten, and I’d have to say that 90% of the greatest movies have yet to be made.
I meant American* Beauty. Kevin Spacey fucked his life up but it didn't fuck up my love for his films. He really is great. American Beauty was one of those films that owned the Oscars. So did Silence of the Lambs.
these are movies that if they are on TV I watch even in the middle of them. Or are on my que and wont leave until they are taken away by Netflix.
No particular order:
Dumb and Dumber Goon Dazed and Confused God Father 1 & 2 Pulp Fiction Step Brothers Resivor Dogs Caddy Shack Animal House Blue Brothers Blazing Saddles Top Gun South Park Bigger Badder.... The Usual Suspects Dead Pool
And I love Silence of the Lambs so much. Anthony Hopkins was so scary but compelling. It is one of two movies that have ever given me such bad anxiety that I had to take a Xanax half during the film.
FUN FACT: Hopkins won the Oscar for best actor, and only appeared on screen for 16 minutes of the film!
Very tough list to create and keep it to 10; created with the mindset of if I see it on the cable guide I will stop and watch; no order:
Animal House Hunt for Red October Dumb and Dumber The Outlaw Josey Wales Crimson Tide Officer and a Gentleman Magnificent Seven (original) Paul (trust me, watch it) Predator The Right Stuff
Beetlejuice Purple Rain another vote for mean girls obvi Even Cowgirls Get The Blues Dogma Heathers Labyrinth Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion Dazed and confused Clerks
1. Full Metal Jacket 2. Friday 3. Pulp Fiction 4. Forrest Gump 5. Goon 6. No Country For Old Men 7. Saurday Night Fever 8. Kill Bill 9. A Christmas Story 10. Get the Gringo
Kingdom of Heaven (Director's Cut) Heist The Good Shepherd Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl Heat Boiler Room The Spanish Prisoner Equilibrium Better Luck Tomorrow Kung Fu Hustle
2001: A Space Odyssey Dr. Strangelove Paths of Glory Casablanca Forbidden Planet Taxi Driver Pulp Fiction Saving Private Ryan The Graduate Seven Samurai
I never tire of watching any of these. For the millennials, the last 20 minutes of 2001 is IMO the most mind blowing sequence ever filmed, although the whole movie is pretty mind blowing, and all filmed without the help of CGI.
In order to not create a list that's dominated by a couple of directors, I will limit my selections to one film per director or series:
- The Shining (Kubrick, my favorite director) - Stalker (Tarkovsky) - The Happening (Shyamalan) - Kagemusha (Kurosawa) - Perfect Blue (Satoshi Kon) - The Wolf of Wall Street (Scorsese) - Pain & Gain (Michael Bay) - Ghost World (Zwigoff) - The Living Daylights (James Bond film featuring the best Bond) - Apocalypse Now (Coppola) - Once Upon a Time in the West (Sergio Leone) - Blade Runner (Ridley Scott) - Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom (Indiana Jones series) - Rocky IV (Rocky series) - A Streetcar Named Desire (Elia Kazan) - The Tree of Life (Terence Malick) - Mulholland Drive (Lynch) - American Psycho (Mary Harron) - The Big Lebowski (Coen Brothers) - There Will Be Blood (Paul Thomas Anderson) - Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters (Paul Schrader) - Seconds (Frankenheimer) - The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974, Joseph Sargent) - Orgy Masters 3 (Alexander DeVoe) - The Day of the Jackal (Zinnemann) - Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (Werner Herzog) - Con Air (Simon West) - Gremlins 2: The New Batch (Gremlins series) - Tremors (Tremors series) - Koyaanisqatsi (Qatsi trilogy) - The Battle of Algiers (Gillo Pontecorvo) - Terminator II (Terminator series) - The Room (Tommy Wiseau) - The African Queen (John Huston) - Paris, Texas (Wim Wenders) - Belle de Jour (Luis Buñuel) - Macbeth (Polanski) - The Lover (Jean-Jacques Annaud) - The Bridge on the River Kwai (David Lean) - Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (Nagisa Oshima) - Network (Sidney Lumet)
I'm sorry, I tried to stick with 10 but I couldn't do it. I tried though, I really tried.

The Godfather Goodfellas Boyz N The Hood A Christmas Story Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood Ben La Bamba Crimson Gold Goodbye Lenin Blade Children Of The Corn
Another mafia type movie that no one ever mentions probably because of its length but is really well done and spans the 20th century is Once Upon A Time in America, with Robert DeNiro, James Woods, and I think Sharon Stone, I also liked The Irishman on Netflix How about the original The Hustler with Paul Newman Nd Jackie Gleason So many great movies it’s impossible to just pick out a few
Sharon Stone was Casino. But the Hustler reminds me, I loved the Color of Money though. Great great movie. The Verdict was good too. Newman was awesome.

Seriously chess-playing-ape, you need to calm down. Maybe take a few muscle relaxers and drink a rickarita and a gin rickey. And then another gin rickey.
Good movies....
Well, I quite like Madagascar because the animals are portrayed realistically.
And Silence of the Lambs. I went in expecting a documentary about lambs but I really liked the hero. Too bad he didn’t get to eat the villain played by Jodie Foster in the end.
Finally, there is “When Harry Met Sally”. Gotta love 💕 that one! Squawk!!!
Kudos to Dr Evil and Longball with producing a tight 10 after the rubber band snapped so quickly on the "10" requirement.
Ski: You are the originator of the "Tight" list - it must be because you are on vacation! Which Robin Hood movie? (2018 - Egerton, 2010 - Crowe, 1991 - Costner, 1976 - Connery, Errol Flynn, yadda, yadda, ...) I truly couldn't guess!
My List of Non Conformity (in no particular order): The Bourne Supremacy (2004), Mister Roberts (1955), Goldfinger (1964), Mission Impossible (1996), The Great Escape (1963), Casino Royale (2006), Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986), Ford v Ferrari (2019), Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), The Untouchables (1987), The Natural (1984), The Wild Bunch (1969) The Italian Job (2003), The Magnificent Seven (1960), Layer Cake (2004), Twilight (1998 - Newman, Sarandon, Hackman, Garner, ...), The Rock (1996), Enemy Of The State (1998), National Treasure.

Movies I like Princess Bride Wall to wall quotable, “There’s a shortage of perfect breasts in the world, it would be a pity to damage yours.” Shakespeare in Love Comedy, drama, occasional nudity, what’s not to like Spaceballs Rick Moranis is great as Dark Helmet Stardust Robert DeNiro great as a gay ship captain. Star Trek IV: the Voyage Home The one Lenard Nemoy directed, where they save the whales Animal House Filmed at U of O campus and general area. I knew several people who were extras. Barbarella I know, but she looks great floating around near naked. Almost Famous Woodstock Rocky Horror Picture Show
Bull Durham Back to the Future Anything directed by Almodovar Anything directed by Kieslowski Lincoln Bridge of Spies A beautiful day in the neighborhood The fifth element lots more

Just gotta have some Disney Classics on there.
And yes, Casablanca is fabulous. I own that as well.
There are a few Hitchcock films that could make the list as well.
And wayyy more Tarantino films than just Jackie Brown. But I find the characters relatable.
And FYI, Godfathet I and II are two separate films, you can't list them together as the same film to save space lol.
I couldn't help thinking that when I first thought @ppwh wrote "Fisting with Gandhi"

I'd add Fast Times at Ridgemont High too... I've grown to love Jackson Browne since he did the song "Somebody's Baby" for that film. There's a vid of me dancing to that song at a concert he did here in metro Detroit. I'd share it but there's too many trolls and I'm not wearing makeup lol.

Nina is "How to Marry A Millionaire" some kind of stripper training video or an actual movie?

Saw some people voting for numerous Marvel and DCEU movies (okay maybe just Marvel). As much as i really liked the Dark Knight trilogy, i'm probably the only one that also liked Batman V Superman or Man of Steel. Didn't like Justice League all that much though. Remember really liking the first two Superman movies a long time ago. The special effects probably don't hold up if i were to watch them again though.
Don't repeat viewings of movies much (wish i had more time) so my list could change if i were to watch these movies over and over again, especially a lot of the 80s cult movies. Remember really enjoying Ferris Bueller's Day Off and to a lesser degree Weird Science when i watched them the one time. I did watch Napoleon Dynamite more than a few times. Did like the first two Rocky's. Even the next two. Not quite the fifth one and never saw the sixth one or Creed. Liked the first two Karate Kids and even the most recent one.

Jaws
the greatest thriller ever it kept everyone on the beach the summer it came out
Like I said earlier there are so many great American movies it is just impossible to stick to ten, and I’d have to say that 90% of the greatest movies have yet to be made.
these are movies that if they are on TV I watch even in the middle of them. Or are on my que and wont leave until they are taken away by Netflix.

I never tire of watching any of these. For the millennials, the last 20 minutes of 2001 is IMO the most mind blowing sequence ever filmed, although the whole movie is pretty mind blowing, and all filmed without the help of CGI.

Good movies....
Well, I quite like Madagascar because the animals are portrayed realistically.
And Silence of the Lambs. I went in expecting a documentary about lambs but I really liked the hero. Too bad he didn’t get to eat the villain played by Jodie Foster in the end.
Finally, there is “When Harry Met Sally”. Gotta love 💕 that one! Squawk!!!
Ski: You are the originator of the "Tight" list - it must be because you are on vacation! Which Robin Hood movie? (2018 - Egerton, 2010 - Crowe, 1991 - Costner, 1976 - Connery, Errol Flynn, yadda, yadda, ...) I truly couldn't guess!
My List of Non Conformity (in no particular order): The Bourne Supremacy (2004), Mister Roberts (1955), Goldfinger (1964), Mission Impossible (1996), The Great Escape (1963), Casino Royale (2006), Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986), Ford v Ferrari (2019), Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), The Untouchables (1987), The Natural (1984), The Wild Bunch (1969) The Italian Job (2003), The Magnificent Seven (1960), Layer Cake (2004), Twilight (1998 - Newman, Sarandon, Hackman, Garner, ...), The Rock (1996), Enemy Of The State (1998), National Treasure.
