Brokeback Mountain
Meet Me in St. Louis
I Was Born, But...
Au hasard Balthazar
The Death of Maria Malibran
Pather Panchali
The Eclipse
Andrei Rublev
Nights of Cabiria
Les Vampires

Chris,

You are not the only one here. 

I agree with 3 of your picks Brokeback Mountain, Shawshank Redemption, and Pretty Woman, but it's always hard for me to pick my top 5 or top 10.  I have to think about it more.

Brokeback Mountain
The Godfather
Shawshank Redemption
Sense and Sensibility
Phantom of the Opera
