I don't really have a firm top ten list. Off the top of my head, some favorites that would be in or near my top ten:

Pulp Fiction
The Godfather Part 1 & 2
Original Star Wars Trilogy
LOTR Trilogy
Inception
Braveheart
O Brother Where Art Thou?
Fight Club
Se7en
Silence of the Lambs

Solid list dmaul. Godfather movies are up there for me too. I just pretend that 3 never happened...or at least I pretend to pretend that 3 never happened. The family tree turning into a circle still haunts me today.

I don't mind the third one that much aside from that stupid plot line.

Aside from that, it's a solid movie and solid ending to the Michael Corleone story arch. Still no where near on par with the first two even if it didn't have the stupid cousin love shit. But not awful either.

Yeah, I'm not gonna sit here and say they're particularly artistic movies or spectacular by any means but it comes down to the fact that I just can't get enough of them. While my top 10 obviously doesn't have the best movies of all time they are the top 10 movies I enjoy watching (over and over). I will say that Inception is still fairly new though and most likely to bow out of my top 10 in the coming years.

Sunshine, I love everything about it. I know a frequent complaint is the 3rd act swerve but with the cinematography surrounding that aside, I found it to be an interesting shift in the story.

Office Space never fails to cheer me up. No matter how shitty of a day I'm having, no matter how sorry I'm feeling about myself and life in general, I always get cheered up by that movie. I still laugh at a lot of the jokes and enjoy it.

As for today, my TV was on FX to begin the day and I ended up watching Role Models this morning (that movie was, and still is, better than it should be given the premise and how cliche it could have turned out). That was followed by What Happens in Vegas which was better than the average romantic comedy but still it was a romantic comedy at its core so it followed the same path. The premise made it more entertaining though and Rob Corddry (even though he was still just same old Rob Corddry) really stole the show as the support. The most surprising part of that movie was that I had no idea Zach Galifianakis was in it (once again, playing the same Zach Galifianakis he always plays).

Ran a few errands this afternoon and now that I'm back, I'm about 20 minutes into Godfather (pt. 1). I'd like to make it through both 1 and 2 tonight but with the cleaning I need to get done that might not be feasible and Godfather isn't exactly a "have it on in the background" type movie.

Nice, I'd say that even though I don't have a few of those in my top 10, they're damn close to my top 10 (OG Star Wars, LOTR, Braveheart, O Brother, Fight Club).

Haha, I have the trilogy and I've yet to actually put pt. 3 in and watch it because I've heard it's so terrible it almost ruins one's opinion of the first 2.

True, there were some very solid performances. No where as bad as Conan the Destroyer.

Don't think I could do a half-way decent top ten list or anything. I know I'd put Chinatown and Twelve Monkeys at the top but after that it'd just be random good movies that pop into my head.

We already spoilered one of the worst aspects of the movie, so you're good to go. It actually makes the first two that much better.

LOLZ...you Canucks are so cute! Of course you don't or else you wouldn need us REAL AMERICANS to show you what REAL culture is.

I don't have a top ten, but here's a top six:

Memento
Oldboy
Fight Club
Pulp Ficiton
Taxi Driver
American Beauty

If I had a top ten it would go like this

1. LOTR: Return of the King
2. Blade Runner
3. Marvel's The Avengers
4. Pulp Fiction
5. No Country For Old Men
6. Batman Begins
7. Memento
8. All-Star Superman
9. Anchorman
10. Iron Man

There are others that I love that could've easily been on that list. And it would take me a while to make a top 10 worst list because I've seen a lot of shit (C Level horror films).

^Someone must like superhero movies.

I definitely have a top three:

Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Pulp Fiction
Alien

After that I love these films, don't really have an order or anything:

Trainspotting
Amélie
Boogie Nights
Big Lebowski
Anchorman
Layer Cake
Donnie Darko
Bottle Rocket
Clockwork Orange
Sin City
Shawn of the Dead

I love these comedies but I dunno about ranking them anywhere

Office Space
Mallrats
Swingers
Old School
Bill & Ted
Pee Wee's Big Adventure

Saw Cloud Atlas last week. Was alright. Some story lines I thought were good others felt a little meaningless. With the amount of characters it felt like a long time trying to wrap things up. Visually I liked the Neo Seoul area. Actually that portion of the movie is my favorite (characters and plot arch).

What the hell, I'm bored. I'll do a top 10 movies list (in no particular order).

Se7en
Empire Strikes Back
American History X
Godfather
The Dark Knight
Crash
Saving Private Ryan
Jurassic Park
Back to the Future
Wedding Crashers

Compliance

Definitely worth a watch if you want to lose faith in humanity. It only makes it worse when you remember that it's based on a true story and people are really that ed up and stupid.

The 80s cartoon was goofy as hell and the movie followed suit. It was kinda stupid to make GI Joe an international fighting force but honestly it didn't matter all that much.

I liked it better then any of the Transformers movies.
