Oh no! How did I forget 'My Beautiful Laundrette'?? And 'Maurice'? And 'Chokher Bali'?
This is why I don't like lists. I can't choose, and then I forget things.

It's funny you put that one on because I was going to put it on my list, too -- that or "Morocco." You're reading my mind! I decided not to put that one on my list because I didn't want to knock anything else off, & I hate it when people ask for TEN & some bozo gives them ELEVEN. :mad:

Easily one of the better films of this age. Disturbing as hel though.

I have too many to list, but some are Sunset Blvd., Gone With the Wind, Cavalcade, all of the fairly recent Jane Austin flicks, Age of Innocence (just beautiful) and so on.

guilty.

Okay, I'm about to show my youth and shallowness here...

Gone With The Wind
Rear Window
Gothic
The Company of Wolves
Moby Dick (Gregory Peck version)

And then in no particular order –

The Shining

Dogville
The Unforgiven

Apocalypse Now
Blade Runner

At this point I’d start listing Woody Allen films starting with ‘Bullets over Broadway’ but I don’t want to upset David by listing more than 10.

Pretty good!

"Madame de ..." is one of my favorite movies. If we had done a Top 20, I'd stick that on there somewhere.

Also, I have been to the Grass Valley house of Lola Montez. It's on Mill Street in downtown Grass Valley. It's a museum & worth seeing!

Max's son Marcel created one of the great documentaries of our time -- The Sorrow & the Pity. Romy admires that film, too. Where is Romy?

Overall, and based on enjoyment level as much as quality and clearly I am no film buff:

1. GoodFellas
2. Field of Dreams
3. Apollo 13
4. Ocean's Eleven (remake)
5. Independence Day
6. The Myth of Fingerprints
7. Empire Records
8. Twister
9. Juno
10. Saturday Night Fever

I have that here next to me. Certainly has many strengths & few flaws.

- Jake

And if I can add an 11th, it has to be an animated Disney:

I have a feeling that the art/film people on here are vomiting at my list, but hey, I like what I like! :cool:

Brad

Wise words, I agree, but I also think that one likes a movie according the moment and the age. That's why I included Grease or Titanic. MAybe today I have other favorites, but I tried to list the movies that I wanted to see lot of times at that moment, plus the movies I will always love, like Priscilla or Moonstruck.

But you had Renoir and Tarkovsky and Griffith. A pretty powerful trio among the others. ;)

Romy

I forgot that one. I love that movie.

Joel Schumacher.

Silver Streak
The Poseidon Adventure
Heaven Can Wait
History of the World, Part 1
Kramer Vs. Kramer
The Coal Miner's Daughter
Tootsie
Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (and Don't Come Back!)
The Shawshank Redemption
Far From Heaven

We were just talking about that movie the other day! It was a big hit, & had great marketing graphics. But the tidal wave was bad science, Dan.

I love that movie, too! And the song. I would have given the Oscar to It might be you.

In no particular order:

Shawshank Redemption
Gladiator
A Star is Born
Easter Parade
Steel Magnolias
