These are the 10 greatest movie-films that I have seen. By greatest, I mean that I would recommend them.

Citizen Kane
A Clockwork Orange
Sin City
Kill Bill
Star Wars: A New Hope
2001: A Space Odyssey
Akira
Napoleon Dynamite
Shichinin no samurai
The Godfather: Part II

What are the top ten greatest movie-films, in your opinion?

let's see, they may come out with a wolfenstein movie, that might be good.

I have kill bill, space odyssey, star wars, napoleon dynamite, godfather, and that's about it.

I liked borat, it was funny, but not for you little kiddies...

Top ten films.. Hmm.. I should be an authority here, shouldn't I?

I wont rank them 1 to 10 cause thats not possible, and the genres will be very mixed up, but ten films you should and some point see:

Smala sussie (Slim Susie) (Swe)
Shaun of the dead (UK)
Tetsuo - The iron man (Jap)
Terminator 2 (USA)
Titan A.E (USA) (The film that killed Fox animation studios)
Sin City (USA)
Dr. Strangelove, or: How i stopped worrying and learned to love the bomb (UK)
Lolita (UK) (the new version with Jeremy Irons)
Fifth Element (France)
Army of darkness (USA) /yoou should watch evil dead 2 first though, allthough thats a bit sucky, still ike it though)

10 is a stupid muber.. I can pick my top three here, but 10? I want to liste 15-20 more that is as good as many of these. yeahyeah.. these were from the top of my head,

From the top of my head/ Netflix list:

• Matrix
• 2001 A Sp. Od.
• Zatoichi: blind swordsman
• Any Akira Kurasawa, but specifically "Ran"
• Kung Fu Hustle
• MP holy grail
• Princess Mononoke (any Miyazaki)
• Cowboy Bebop Movie/ Show
• The bicycle thief
• Akira
• Blade Runner
• Apycalypse now
• Das Boot
• Gattaca
• Ghost in the Shell (origional)
• Goldfinger (JB)
• Grave of Fireflies
• House of Flying Daggers
• O Brother, Where Art Thou?
• Ocean's Eleven (new one)
• 12 Angry men
• Twilight Samuri
• This is Spinal Tap
• Brazil
• The thin red line

Choose 10 of the best, and those are the best 10 of mine. No particular order. Bold are especially awsome.

Tetsuo was more than a little disturbing.
lawl titan ae. I wont spew hate about that movie, but if I did, it would be very hatefull.
These are the best ones Ive seen, aka the best period.

Titan A.E was and is a great movie, but the commercial audience is to hung up on genre conventions, and thereby find it clashing. The story is decent, the effects are cool, and the shameless mix of 3D and 2D is a cool mockery of the genre conventions, allthough it was just the result of a too low budget.

And listing "Ladri di biciclette" (The bicycle thief) now that is just pretencious

Yes. Tetsuo is more than a little disturbing. Its a brutal rape of your senses and mind. Thats the point. Try watching it when you are some sense of semi-conciousness.. it might very well change you, and not necessarily in a good way.

Edit: To make this fair (10 is still a stupid number) I'll now list the films that i recommend that I have in my DVD collection, there are more movies, but i cant remember them all. So... Films you should see, in my opinion:

Full list of my DVDs, from where the selection is made is at: http://btd.cxz.no/dvddb/index.php?calphabet=all

I saw the bicycle thief when I was 11, and I have to say that while I consider myself a pretty manly man, that is the only movie- ever- to have brought me to tears.

And I refuse to see Tetsuo: the iron man again. My mind is closed *shudders*

I suggested only listing 10 to encourage unique lists.

Dave wrote:I suggested only listing 10 to encourage unique lists.

I will follow your request, and make a unique list, 10 is a stupid number (still ), so I'll list my favorite three films:

Tetsuo
Shaun of the dead
Smala Sussie

I higlyrecommend these, and I can easily pic them as my three most favorite films. In my world, there is these 3, then the list i printed earlier that are all about the same queality, depending what you are l\ooking for, then its the rest.

Hmm sorry for the spamming.. its getting late, and I'm getting tired.. I'l shaddap now. But you are entering my field of expertise, so i get carried away
tChr, working on his masters degree in film and movie science at university.. signing off.

Hedwig and the angry inch
American Beauty (if you are above 35 years at least )
Das Leben ist eine Baustelle (Life Is A Construction Site ?)
Lola rennt (Run Lola Run)

10 of my recommendations:

Waking Life
Once Upon a Time in America
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Metropolis
Mulholland Drive
Memento
Irréversible
Dead Man
Braindead

Damn, taste is really different. I've seen many movies listed above, and I consider some of them a real waste of time.

Two movies that I can remommend:

and two more serious movies:
- Das Leben der anderen

Tenacious D The Pick of Destiny
A Scanner Darkly
Miami Vice

My list:
The godfather (all three movies)
Scarface
Goodfellas
Last man standing
Leon
Metropolis
Crank
The Departed
16 Blocks
Borat

Morfar: you should take a look at 'infernal affairs' that should be the movie that inspired 'the departed' and many think its even better

Ghost Dog
Kill bill 1 and 2

Yellow Robot

You liked Audition? That movie was nuts! I had to stop watching it when it got to the psycho tied-up scene.

You should have continued watching shame on you! But I do not blame you! I spent a good bit of that scene biting a cushion and jiving like a cricket. Definitely not for the faint hearted- but a really great bit of unique cinema. Oh and a description of the films ending is on wiki if your interested! But those who have not seen (and plan to....) pls dont spoil yer funn! Moauahahahaha!.. ha!..ha...heh....er..

Bleh ten is to much. Dont ya ppl have works/school to go to? ;P

Some interesting flicks:
For rooms
Little Budda
Beetle Juice
The Ring

meh... "Requiem for a dream" = most sucky....

But here are my 10 favs:

Blade Runner
Memento
The Prestige
The Butterfly Effect (stay away from the sequel ! )
LOTR Trilogy
Alien Quadrilogy
Mulholland Drive
Being John Malkovich
The Big Lebowski
Guest House Paradiso

I don't like movies too much. Some movies that don't bore me so much:

Fear and loathing in Las Vegas

From dusk till dawn

Rock'n Roll High School (just because of the Ramones' participation of coz)

Bad Taste

Trainspotting

Ooohhh how could i forget Guest House Paradiso!? its brilliant

The Butterfly Effect (stay away from the sequel ! )

There is a sequel to the Butterfly Effect? I thought it was a pretty good film, Ashton Kutcher did a surprisingly good job.... but... a sequel? Say it aint so.

That's what happens when they want more money . Good thing I only touched the first movie. I would really have loved to have this movie alone and not have to crop it out of a not-so-good series.

As for my favs (I don't watch many movies, but some really caught my eye), in no particular order:

The Butterfly Effect

Secret Window

Jacob's Ladder

Pink Floyd - The Wall

Matrix 1

Star Wars (especially the older episodes, those old-looking films and the real world army feeling the Empire guys had were simply great)

The Mothman Prophecies

Requiem For A Dream

Borat

The Dudesons Movie

[ Ice Age (1 & 2), Taxi (1 & 2), Silent Hill (but some problems and mistakes pulled the whole movie down, even for a fan of the games)] these were very close .

Ice Age 2 confused the hell outof me. Think about it— the animals are in a basin, with walls on all sides holding large amounts of water back. The water threatens to break in on one end, so they trek to the other side. Then, the ice wall they are near (on the other side of the basin), breaks, and all the water flows out of the basin? How this happen? There is still water on the other side of the wall... Im probably missing something.

I bet it was one of those things where the 3D animators were high/drunk one day and didn't want to do all that much, so they just slapped that together.

Because the animators are the people who write the script.

There was a script?!
