Top 10 would have to be The great Escape, Casablanca, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, It's a Wondeful Life, Vertigo, Schindler's List, North by NorthWest, Charade, The Spy Who Loved Me, Notorious and Heat.
I'll list 10, in no particular order, but I could easily choose from 100 or so more as my top 10. These are not the movies I necessarily consider the best movies, but ones I will watch any time they are available and enjoy more each time. It's interesting that as I look over other people's lists, there are movies there that I genuinely dislike and consider terrible films, and I am sure some will think the same of movies on my list.
High Noon Gigi Godfather I & II (I'll cheat and call that one movie) Casablanca Henry V (Branaugh version) Citizen Kane Rear Window Psycho Strangers on a Train Notorious
Oops, that's already ten, and I was about to list The Third Man and Sunset Boulevard and On the Waterfront and on and on.
1. vertigo 2. rear window. 3. Mr. smith goes to Washington 4. Casablanca 5. The Usual Suspects 6. Edward Scissorhands 7. North By Northwest 8. The Big Sleep 9. The Maltese Falcon 10 Its a wonderful life
I have hundreds of favorites and these are only ten of them and not even in any particular order, to me their is no such thing as a top ten favorite or even one favorite because their are to many other great films that would not be included you look at my list and you see a lot of great films but where is physco, seven, fight club,citzen kane, to catch a theif, raiders of the lost ark, the philadelphiia story, arsenic and old lace, his girl friday, 12 monkeys, bringing up baby, back to the future. i could go on forever,these films deserve to be in my top ten just as much as the ones i have listed now do. so in my opinion their is no such thing as a top ten favorite movie list or even one favorite, i don't rank films i just appreciate them.
1. Vertigo 2. Groundhog Day 3. The Game 4. The Sting 5. High Noon 6. Desperado 7. Raising Arizona 8. Close Encounters of the Third Kind 9. Mullholland Drive/Lost Highway 10. A Fish called Wanda
If this wasn't restricted to ten (even though i have 11 movies already!, i'd also like to add the following :
Star Wars: Episode IV, A Night at the Opera, Its a Wonderful Life, Annie Hall, Bananas, From Dusk till Dawn, Pulp Fiction, O Brother Where Art Thou, The Pink Panther Strikes Again, The Maltese Falcon,and Back to the Future.
1. Casablanca (cliche, i know, but i love it with my life) 2. The Sound of Music 3. The Philadelphia Story 4. Notorious 5. The Breakfast Club 6. Dirty Dancing 7. Breakfast at Tiffany's 8. 12 Angry Men 9. The Devil Wears Prada 10. Victor/Victoria
