Not sure this has been done. A thread where we can discuss our favorite movie TOP 10.?
I was unable to find a way to send a link of my list.

My Top 10. The Innocents, Rebecca, Psycho,Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, War of the Worlds (original) Picnic at Hanging Rock, The Birds, Ben Hur, Haunted (1995), The Changeling (1980)

Most of my Top 10 are of the mystery/suspence/supernatural genres.. thus my unusual username..I am now being called spookie...eerie eh.

I chose The Innocents (1960) as No 1 because of its haunting, chilling, gothic atmosphere and its fine acting by Deborah Kerr and Megs Jenkins, Martin Stevens (Miles) and Pamela Franklin (Flora) the two haunted children. English icon Michael Redgrave plays a camero role as the children's wayward guardian.

There have been a lot of "top 10 favourite movies" threads over the 16-ish years this site has existed, though it has gotten to the point where even using the search function to dig up an old one genuinely seems like too much effort.

In any case, I can't fault most of those picks, though I watched War of the Worlds recently and wasn't too impressed. Good on a technical level, but the rest of it...eh.

Thanks to you friend we can get another thread going. No doubt people's tastes change over 16 years. I know mine have. WOW special effects were groundbreaking for its day. Yes a rather corny, romantic sub plot . Still makes my top 10 of all sci fis.

Re: Favorite Movies
 

What of your own Top 10? I see you do not have them listed next to your username.

Re: Favorite Movies
 

Yeah, I've had lists in the past but haven't bothered to put up a new one in ages since I find it hard to settle on a wholly satisfactory ten. A quick list would include The Blues Brothers, Apocalypse Now, Akira, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Blade Runner, Jaws, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Escape From New York, The Good the Bad and the Ugly, and Taxi Driver, but I could still swap out a bunch of them for at least a couple of dozen other picks.

Re: Favorite Movies
 

Like most of those.. not a huge Blade Runner or Escape from New York Fan. I would have had MP & the Holy Grail on my list if there was aTop 15.. Probably also Apocalyse Now, Raiders and Good Bad Ugly..

Re: Favorite Movies
 

I'm quite new here, so I have not engaged in any Top 10 list of the past.... But I like several of the movies you listed in your Top 10. The Innocents is a masterpiece, and The Birds is one of my favorites. So many movies and so many have meant a lot to me at different periods in my life. A rough list in chrono

The Birds
Jaws
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Taxi Driver
Star Wars
Alien
Apocalypse Now
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
The Burbs
Mulholland Drive

Re: Favorite Movies
 

I'm new too. I luv The Burbs, Tom Hanks is so funny in that film😆

Re: Favorite Movies
 

Yeah, there is something special about the The Burbs to me. I love the Universal back-lot vibe of the movie, which adds to the surreal suburban feel Dante must have been going for, and the eclectic mix of characters and their interactions with each other is priceless.

The Big Lebowski (1998)

Re: Favorite Movies
 

No doubt about it Yam12, Zodiac is a fantastic movie.

The Innocents is indeed "a masterpiece". Sorry to say I do like many of your Top 10 except Apocalyse Now, Alien, The Birds and Jaws. Somebody has 2001 A Space Odyssey listed. that was one of only two films I ever walked out on.. the other was Zorba the Greek.

Excellent Top 10, I've seen them all except Haunted.

Rebecca and The Innocents are both amazing!

I Loved: Psycho, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, War of the Worlds (original) and The Birds. The Birds does not get enough respect around here.

It's been too long since I seen the original, Ben Hur. You did mean the original right?

Picnic at Hanging Rock, was pretty cool and interesting.
The Changeling (1980)...I liked this one pretty well too.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Inception
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Gladiator
The Fate of the Furious

Re: Favorite Movies
 

Harry and Tonto, La Strada, Nashville, They Shoot Horses, Don't They?,Network, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Battle of Algiers, Treasure of the Sierra Madre, A Woman Under The Influence, Buffalo '66, La Grande Illusion, Mr. Deeds Goes To Town, The Misfits, There Will Be Blood, Ace in the Hole

Picnic was one of the best ever Australian films made. Haunted is Brit made with Aidan Quinn and Kate Beckinsale. A real chiller that has gone largely unrecognised.
Our taste in movies is rather similar CR. :p
