1. The Lord of the Rings (Yeah, all of them, but if I have to choose one, then Return of the King)
2. Forrest Gump
3. Inception
4. The Shawshank Redemption
5. Fight Club
6. The Usual Suspects
7. The Last Samurai
8. The Dark Knight
9. The Passion of the Christ
10. The Departed

I am 100% sure I forgot a few I would have put here, these are just the ones that came to mind while writing this. The top 5 or 6 is at least pretty accurate I'm sure.

I think it's very hard for me to make a list of top 10 and then even select a favorite one. I have so many movies that I love but on the top of my head these would be in the mix of top 10 in no particular order

According to flickchart, this is my Top 10.

1. Raiders of the Lost Ark
2. The Godfather
3. Unforgiven
4. The Dark Knight
5. Star Wars: A New Hope
6. ET the Extraterrestrial
7. The Wizard of Oz
8. The Godfather Pt. 2
9. LOTR: The Return of the King

In no particular order:
This is Spinal Tap
Star Wars
Back to the Future
The Dark Knight
Dumb and Dumber
Groundhog Day
Office Space
The Usual Suspects
There's Something About Mary
Leon: The Professional

I like comedy, so it dominates.  Drama is a close second.  The only genre I rarely visit is horror.

That list could change dramatically each and every time I'd try to make it.  I did a quick look at my DVDs and BluRay collection, but I stopped buying those about 2007, so 2007+ is poorly represented in my list.

Everybody CHILL  ! :angry: I've seen plenty of people online who are from non English speaking countries who use haha or suchlike to imply a jovial attitude.

My Top movies are nearly all 80s classics.

Back To The Future
The Wrath Of Khan
Inner Space
The Flight Of The Navigator

Jaws isn't an 80s film ( 1975 )


It's so hard to come up with a top 10 movies of all time. I'll just stick to 5.
Title: Re: your best top 10 movies
Post by: Kotowboy on June 24, 2015, 02:30:55 PM

3. Inception


Absolutely Inception. Phenomenal film and you can tell it's the one movie Nolan has waited his whole life to make. It's damn near flawless.

Interstellar - he came into late in the project and it feels rushed. it's f---ing amazing and I love it but it doesn't have the same excitement and wonder as Inception.

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-1699788041
Saving 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".

7. The Last Samurai

This was made mostly in Taranaki, where I'm from, so I can watch it and tell you exactly where almost every scene was made. The ones in the Emperor's Chamber were apparently filmed in an empty warehouse around the corner from my house at the time. We wandered down to try to catch a glimpse of anyone famous. The early battle scene in the forest was at Lake Mangamahoe, 10 minutes down the road. Not to mention at one point, I also lived in the same area, maybe 10-20 minutes drive from the Japanese village set.

Oh, and while they were making this movie, my aunt broke down in the countryside and Tom Cruise got out and personally changed her tyre.

- Persona
- Beauty and the Beast
- Ran

- The Empire Strikes Back
- The Trial
- Young Frankenstein

Post by: gmillerdrake on June 24, 2015, 09:28:35 PM
Geez....it'd be tough to narrow it down. I'll fire from the hip though..

All time favorite is 'Field of Dreams' absolutely LOVE that movie and I cry like a baby every time he asks his dad to 'have a catch' with him at the end.

The others in no particular order:

- ALIENS
- Braveheart
- Groundhog Day
- Saving Private Ryan
- Jeremaih Johnson
- The Big Chill
- Parenthood
- Father of the Bride
- Interstellar


I (like most of you probably) could list off an entire other list of favorites tomorrow. There are so many out there.
Title: Re: your best top 10 movies
Post by: BlobVanDam on June 24, 2015, 11:06:56 PM
Just a quick list in no particular order except for number 1 because I cheated.

Back to the Future Trilogy (1985 - 1990)

Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991)
Transformers: The Movie (1986)
Planet of the Apes (1968)
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014)

Godzilla vs King Ghidorah (1991)
Short Circuit 2 (1988)
Star Trek IV : The Voyage Home (1986)
Robogeisha (2009)


Throw in some time travel, robots, asian chicks, or apes, and you've got a winner to me. :lol The more you can combine, the better!
Title: Re: your best top 10 movies
Post by: Shadow Ninja 2.0 on June 24, 2015, 11:16:47 PM
The first is for sure, the rest are kinda haphazard:

Cloud Atlas
Inception
Lord of the Rings
Mr. Nobody
Pulp Fiction
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
The Social Network
August Rush
Treasure Planet
Lost In Translation


...this mostly just looks like a list of the films I own. :lol  But I wouldn't have gotten 'em if they weren't good, I suppose. I do feel like I'm missing something, though.
Title: Re: your best top 10 movies
Post by: Zantera on June 25, 2015, 01:03:50 AM
Probably these:

Cloud Atlas
Die Hard
Drive
Her
Jurassic Park
Memento
Mulholland Drive
Terminator 2
The Lord of the Rings (if you want only one, I'd say Return of the King)
The Matrix
Title: Re: your best top 10 movies

Ah yes, Seven might be up there as well. I sincerely thought about adding Interstellar, because I freakin' love that movie, but I think I'll let it sink in for a few more years before I do that.

Post by: RuRoRul on June 25, 2015, 08:14:06 AM
Probably not a definitive list, also not really making any attempt to diversify genres, just what comes to mind right now.

The Lord Of The Rings
Gladiator
District 9
Batman Begins
The Matrix
The Shawshank Redemption
Back To The Future
The Prestige
Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes
Iron Man

Not including multiple films of the same series - all three Lord Of The Rings films would be in my top 10 (perhaps even the top 3) but I'll just put Lord Of The Rings here since to represent all of them, and The Dark Knight and the Back To The Future sequels and of course the Matrix sequels are comparable with the first film in the series.

Revolutions is definitely better than Reloaded. Me and my bro watched all three films in one night recently and Reloaded adds almost nothing to the overall story except introducing a ton of characters that serve no purpose.

The second movie was decent (although too convoluted to compare to the first movie), but the third one was a slog to even sit through. When you can manage to make a robot battle that dull, you're doing something very wrong. The Matrix would have been better off remaining as a standalone movie imo.

Reloaded has my favorite highway chase of all time. That entire fight sequence I can watch over and over again. Reloaded does serve a purpose, it tells them their prophecy has been false and the whole matrix setup was trashed and reloaded over and over again. Were you not paying attention to the architect?  :biggrin:

Also this is my favorite Reloaded parody

No, it only tells them that the architect thought that that was the case.  As Revolutions showed, he was wrong.

But in any case, I didn't really care for the sequels.  Like many, I felt they had a lot more potential than they actually utilized, which made them fall flat.  The Matrix franchise would have been a better overall story if it had ended after the first one and left a lot of the questions and mysteries raised by the first one unanswered, IMO.

Terminator 2
Beverly Hills Cop 2
Trading Places
Rocky IV
Casino
Heat
The Devil's Advocate
Platoon
Naked Gun

And?
It's the film I see discussed the most of the trilogy. It's iconic, and it's captured people's imaginations. It's a loved film, and it's not an unusual opinion.
Wasn't implying anything other than what I said that I've never come across that thought the 2nd one was ranked higher than the first one. I love them all and my ranking is 1>3>2 and doesnt mean the 2nd one is bad just the slightest less awesome one.

Reloaded does serve a purpose, it tells them their prophecy has been false and the whole matrix setup was trashed and reloaded over and over again. Were you not paying attention to the architect? 

No, it only tells them that the architect thought that that was the case.  As Revolutions showed, he was wrong.

Hmm I don't remember it that way, I'll have to revisit the sequels it's been a few years.

Actually Neo managed to break the pattern and save Trinity BECOZ LURVE or some other shit.

Well, that's weird.

Here it is, anyways:

No, it only tells them that the architect thought that that was the case.  As Revolutions showed, he was wrong.

I imagine the architect would have been right had not Smith come along as an anomaly to upset the order. Because I assume that there was never a 'Smith' in the previous 5 incarnations of the matrix? It feels like they should have told us if that was the case, which makes me assume that this was the first time that happened, forcing the machines' hands in allying wih Neo.

I think it had something to do with Neo joining with Smith at the end of the first one.

in the explanation - Smith says a part of Neo was written onto the Smith program when he jumped inside him.

Therefore the Matrix equation became unbalanced or something.

I've even grown to love the third one, although there are some things that bug me about it. BTTF2 > BTTF > BTTF3, but they're all still among my favourite movies ever.
You are literally the first person I've come across in my life that has ranked the 2nd movie better than the first.
I like it better than the 1st one as well. It just has so much more going on.

I wouldn't put End of Watch in my top 10, but it was definetely a good movie. Both Gyllenhaal and Peña were great in that one.
