Everybody CHILL ! 
I've seen plenty of people online who are from non English speaking countries who use haha or suchlike to imply a jovial attitude.
Just from non English speaking countries? You should see how I write to people via text/Line/Facebook/whatever haha
This is vaguely my list of favourites. No, it's not ten films, bite me, at least I'm commenting to some degree. If you need ten, count the first ten and disregard the rest, I suppose.
Return of the King - though I also get the "Fellowship is the best one" folk, as that is the least flawed and CGI-reliant one, but Return has so many scenes that are pure emotional climax
Apocalypse Now - redux over original, amazing rewrite of an amazing novella, classic scene after classic scene
Children of Men - I once taught this film at high school in Germany, to compare/contrast with The Handmaid's Tale. Only once it was rolling did I realise quite how many times they say fuck. The class was visibly floored by it when it finished though
Lost in Translation - best film about the old "search for meaning in one's life" bullshit
Gangs of New York - not a perfect film, but it gets in there purely on DDL's performance
Jurassic Park - aka my childhood
High Fidelity - I honestly think the film is better than the book, and I love both Cusack and Jack Black in it
Hot Fuzz - best comedy ever made
https://kotaku.com/hot-fuzz-is-a-god-damned-masterpiece-1699788041Saving Private Ryan - aka my childhood pt 2. I specifically remember the scene at the end where they're huddled behind rubble and the troops are rolling in to town in the background as one of the times I was most invested in any movie.
The Dark Knight - largely on the back of Heath Ledger
Memento - it doesn't matter how big and convoluted the Nolans go, I can't see them ever topping this
Blair Witch Project - I saw this about 15 years after it came out, miraculously completely unspoilered. Add the entire last half of this movie to the times I was most invested in a movie.
Tape - this is a play adaptation by Linklater, the guy who made Boyhood. Whole movie is one scene in one room with 3 characters, all dialogue. Brilliant
The Libertine - a largely unknown Johnny Depp movie. By far the most critically panned - and barring Tape, most unknown - of all my favs.
Der Untergang - aka Downfall, the German Hitler war film.
Chronicle - you may notice I seem to enjoy found footage stuff.
Amadeus - starring Salieri as Ahab and Mozart as Moby Dick
District 9 - saw this on a plane, despite knowing it was set in SA, I went into it otherwise cold, had no idea about the racism themes, was totally shocked and floored. Though I was once on the fence when it came to "should they make a sequel?" business, based on Bloomkamp's subsequent films, I would now firmly say "fuck no".
