Showing Original Post only (View all)Your top 10 movies of all time [View all]
I'm guessing you guys have discussed this in the past, but for those willing to indulge me, here's my list:
1) Good Will Hunting
2) The Lives of Others
3) Shawshank Redemption
4) Dances With Wolves
5) Forrest Gump
6) The Departed
7) Les Miserables (1998 version with Neeson, Rush and Thurman)
8) Breakfast Club
9) There Will Be Blood
10) The Wrestler
I realize that my choices are 100% skewed towards films released during my lifetime (as a teen or older). I have watched some "classic" films but none crack my top 10 in terms of enjoyment.
Not making my list but still among my guilty pleasures is Top Gun. When I'm clicking through the channels and I see it, I will often get caught up in it once again.

I kind of like movies that deal with a main character confronted with life in a drama or bio drama

The future wasn't like 1984, it was like Brazil. I'm glad to see it on anyone's list.

My Top 10, in no particular order. A lot of representation from the Brothers Coen on the list.
