Your top 10 films of all time

In response to another thread which mentioned that the film critic Roger Ebert had placed The Tree of Life in his list of top 10 films of all time I was wondering how many on these boards would follow suit, or, if not, what sort of films they would choose as opposed to The Tree of Life. I'm interested in hearing the views of both fans and haters (or detractors if hater is too strong of a word).

My top 10 is (in no particular order)

1. The Godfather/ The Godfather Part II (1972/ 1974)
2. Vertigo (1958)
3. Mulholland Drive (2001)
4. Solyaris (1972)
5. Fanny and Alexander (1982)
6. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
7. Taxi Driver (1976)
8. A Woman Under the Influence (1974)
9. Sunrise (1927)
10.Last Tango in Paris (1972)

What does it mean to regret, when I have no choice
