| | Posted: | | | | Hard to say off the top of my head. There comes a point when it's really hard i think when you have seen so many films to narrow it down.
But My Top 10 is usually something like this
12 Angry Men (1957)
The Third Man
Brighton Rock (1947)
The Grapes of Wrath
The Godfather
Chinatown
Badlands
Brazil
On the Waterfront
Taxi Driver |

Bringing Up Baby (1938)

| | Posted: | | | | Taking this as "personal favorites" rather than "greatest films." The latter would be a different, though some what overlapping, list. This list, however, includes both great films and other films that I'm certain VirtualScot would call "pure trash"  Hotaru no Haka (Grave of the Fireflies) Lord of the Rings (2001-2003) Lawrence of Arabia Shichinin no Samurai (Seven Samurai) Rashomon Watchmen The Rocky Horror Picture Show The Nightmare Before Christmas Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi (Spirited Away) Tonari no Totoro (My Neighbor Totoro) Mononoke Hime (Princess Mononoke) Monty Python and the Holy Grail The Man Who Fell to Earth Battle Royale Perfect Blue The Count of Monte Cristo (1975) Kokaku Kidotai (Ghost in the Shell) Forbidden Planet The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) Tokyo Godfathers WALL-E Solyaris (Solaris) Performance Father Goose Interview with the Vampire I came up with a different list last time this was asked ... and will probably come up with a different list next time too. | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

| | Posted: | | | | If you want to see if people are consistent, we've done this before here. I also started this thread to see what movies stood out for people in each decade. I know that my Top 25 has changed since that first thread. I'll ponder for a while longer, and perhaps post my new list this weekend. | | | | Adelaide Movie Buffs (info on special screenings, contests, bargains, etc. relevant to Adelaideans... and contests/bargains for other Aussies too!) |

I guess that should come as no surprise considering the lack of recent films in my favorites lists. --------------- |

--------------- My list has changed, and although I've not thought it up properly, I know that there'll be three new additions, two of which are older than me (which I suspect excludes them from the "recent films" category). | | | | Adelaide Movie Buffs (info on special screenings, contests, bargains, etc. relevant to Adelaideans... and contests/bargains for other Aussies too!) |
