Top Ten Films of all Time!!
David In Indy:
Great selections Dottie! :D
Here's a few more to add to my honorable mentions list....
WHITE SQUALL Another ship movie!
DAZED AND CONFUSED For ANYONE who grew up in the seventies, this one is for YOU! Hysterical!
ARTHUR Totally funny movie. Dudley Moore was a legendary actor. I miss him.
SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER Can you believe I actually used to disco dance? White suit and everything! :laugh:
STEEL MAGNOLIAS Love it. Love it. Love it.
THE BOUNTY Another ship movie! Mel Gibson was sexy in this movie!
GODS AND MONSTERS Thanks for reminding me about this one Dottie! I haven't seen it in years, and nearly forgot about it! Wonderful movie.
E.T. Cute and lovable movie. Who couldn't love little ET?
THE EDUCATION OF LITTLE TREE This one should have probably been in my top 10... or top 11! Excellent movie about a White/Cherokee youngster growing up in 1930's Tennessee. Beautiful, cute and emotional movie.
THE BASKETBALL DIARIES Dark, disturbing and haunting true story about the dangers of drug abuse. Leonardo DiCaprio did a wonderful job as the lead actor in this film.
CANDY Another disturbing story of drug abuse, this one from Australia featuring our very own Heath Ledger!
That's all for now, I guess..... until I think of some more! :D

Kd5000:
So I guess this group doesn't like foreign language films? It becomes easier to watch when you have already seen it once and don't have to miss the scense because you are reading the subtitles. I rent these highbrow films (CRITERION COLLECTION) from the Public Library and I have a hard time not being distracted. I rarely finish watching one. Bergman films are always checked out. Anybody a fan of Bergman or any of the many famous Italian directors. I was going to start a thread of favorite foreign language films. But I don't think I have a top ten.
Silent films are even harder. I really did love Passion de Jeanne d'Arc, La by Carl Theodor Dreyer. I'm not religious, but the film did move me. I strongly recommend it.

Brown Eyes:
Here are 12 of my favorites in no particular order (except BBM is definitely no. 1).
Brokeback Mountain
City Lights (1931, Charlie Chaplin)- it's phenomenal and very surprising. I highly recommend it if you've never seen it. It's also a great Chaplin film to start with if you've never seen a full Chaplin film before.
The Haunting (1963 with Julie Harris)- one of the best scary movies of all time
Bound
Maurice
Mrs. Dalloway
Lost in Translation
The Hours
The Royal Tenebaums
Far from Heaven
Bringing Up Baby
