What are your top 10 favourite films?
 
Well,keeping with the 'favourite' theme here,what are your top ten favourite films?,in order of preference,with '1' naturally being your favourite.This list can also include animated films,cartoons,mini series' and boxed sets.
This list is dynamic and can change accordingly to your ever changing opinions about things :yep:

For me it would have to be:

1 - Alien
2 - Aliens
3 - The Terminator
4 - The Thing
5 - V The Mini Series (cult 80s SCI FI from the 80s)
6 - An American Werewolf In London
7 - Jaws :D
8 - Company Of Wolves
9 - Flight Of Dragons (animated film from the 80s,so rare you cant even get it on DVD only VHS format)
10 - Dungeons & Dragons - volumes I-IV (the entire boxed set of cartoons from the 80s)

Purely based on which flicks I watch over and over again, if I can't think of
anything else to watch:

1 - Alien
2 - Aliens
3 - A Bridge Too Far
4 - Event Horizon
5 - Schindler's List
6 - Alien 3
7 - Beautiful Mind
8 - Stalingrad
9 - Blair Witch Project
10 - Trilogy of the Dead (Romero's 3 classic zombie flicks, can't pick the best)

EDIT: Oh, didn't notice that mini-series' were allowed too. Well, add Game of Thrones & Generation Kill as honorable mentions then. :O:

2. Blazing Saddles
3. The Life of Brian
4. Apocolypse Now (haven't yet seen Redux)

Amazing flick! :rock:

Ten is not a big enough number. But I'll list the first ten that come to mind.

Das Boot
Lawrence of Arabia
Groundhog Day
Star Wars
Yojimbo
Jaws
The Lion in Winter
The Great Dictator
Seven Samurai
Kung Fu Panda

Herr-Berbunch 07-29-11 08:27 AM

@FK which Star Wars? Surely not the entire double-trilogy? I nearly put Episode V down but then changed it for Naked. Please tell me it's not in the range I-III. :hmmm:

Lol, I think for anyone like me who saw the first film in the theater in 1977, "Star Wars" means the movie that is now called A New Hope.

Empire Strikes Back may be a better film in many ways but I think for me the first one will always be the sentimental favorite. I saw it so many times in 1977-78 that the original version was etched permanently into my brain... in fact I think there may be a whole lobe in there where it just runs on a continuous loop. :O:

Herr-Berbunch 07-29-11 08:45 AM

Phew, thank goodness for that, for a moment I thought you'd succumb to the later crap. :yeah:

AVGWarhawk 07-29-11 08:47 AM

No particular order:

Gladiator
Jaws
Star Wars
Smokey and the Bandit (Jack Gleason at his best)
All Jurassic Parks
All Indiana Jones (cept Temple of Doom)
Duel
Good Fellas
Terminator
