What our your top ten films of all time?

[stephenS50]

I've been a film critic since the mid nineteen nineties and in that time I've seen so great films and some truly awful films...so with that in mind I would like to ask you my dear friends what are your top favourite films of all time..to start off here's my top ten...
1.Avatar
2.Suspiria(The original 1977 version directed by Italian master of horror Dario Argento and not the horrible 2018 remake)
3. Gladiator
4. Brief Encounter
5. Don't Look Now
6. Goodfellas
7. Tenebrae(Another Dario Argento classic...this time from 1982)
8. The Deer Hunter
9. Mona Lisa (Neil Jordans brilliant 1986 film with a wonderful Oscar nominated performance from the late and sorely missed Bob Hoskins)
And...
10. Jackie Brown(my favourite Quentin Tarantino film...and easily one of his best)

Well there you have it...that's my best of list..what's yours?

I look forward to reading your lists.

This Is a good list @Satan’s little helper and some of these make my all time top twenty list..Both Alien(although I do love the sequel Aliens more)and Cabaret are both in there.

What a good little list @littlevoice359 . I haven't seen the gods must be crazy since the late Nineteen nineties.I think it's a very funny film

But
Silence of the Lambs
Pretty Woman

Ah....another two movies that would make my top twenty favourite movies...they are both great movies and in the case of pretty woman that was the first movie i ever saw at the cinema.It was in may 1990 in what was then called The Maybox cinema in Slough...and if my memory serves me correctly the film was screened on screen five.

Thanks. Cabaret & dusk till dawn are a little to me like “The sound of music?” (Which in itself a great film.) all relatively “fluffy & feel good” till about halfway through. Then it gets dark.

This is such a good list and I agree with the choice of Rumblefish.For me that's one of the best movies of the nineteen eighties.

Haven’t got time to think of 10, but another vote for Galaxy Quest here. Also Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves, solely for Alan Rickman's Sheriff of Nottingham.

 

[Satan’s little helper]

lol, I streamed the movie Unknown a few nights back. Couldn’t help the feeling I’d seen it before? I had 30 years ago. It was “Total recall” but set in Berlin.

 

[Barrowman]

And mine in no particular order

Zulu
Gladiator
Spartacus
A Night to Remember
Pretty Woman
Saving Private Ryan
12 Angry Men
The Lion King
Deer Hunter
Top Gun
Jurassic Park ------------- okay, so that's 11 - I can't count

This thread got me thinking about a couple of good Shakespeare adaptations from the 90s. There haven't been any (that I remember) since
- Ian McKellen in Richard III set in 1930s
- Leonardo Di Caprio and Clare Danes in modern day Romeo and Juliet. But then I have always liked Baz Luhrmann movies

 

[nonethewiser]

Up there would be films like

Once upon a time in America
Saving Private Ryan
The Pianist
The Deer Hunter
Godfather 1 & 2
Perfect Storm
Road to perdition

Joel Coen's 2021 Macbeth film is fantastic! Denzel Washington in the lead.

Josh Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing adaption is ok.

I love too many films to get it down to a top 10, but just off the top of my head I would go with....
Heat (best cops and robbers film ever)
Pulp Fiction (best Tarantino film)
Aliens (best sci fi film)
The Shawshank Redemption, fantastic film!
The Godfather / Goodfellas (best Mafia film)
Toy Story (best animated film)
Good Will Hunting, just another fantastic film, hilarious in some parts, tragic in others.
The Dark Knight, great Superhero/ Anti-hero film, and the best "Joker" IMHO.
The Outlaw Josey Wales (best Western)
Its a Wonderful Life, great festive film and very uplifting ending.

Couple of added bonus's that I will always watch whenever they come on the tv....
Zulu
Silence of the Lambs
Seven
The Usual Suspects
Star Wars (any)
The Green Mile
Gladiator
The Deer Hunter
