Great tread and some great movie.
1. Apocalypse Now - Francis Ford Coppola I've seen this I don't know how many time and it still gets me can't wait until it comes out on Blu-ray. I like the original over the Redux but I love both,
2. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest - Milos Forman I can't get over how good very actor is in this movie(some are non-actors), to me Jack Nicholson's best performance.
3. 2001: A Space Odyssey - Stanley Kubrick Every Time I watch this I see something new I haven't seen before.
4. The Godfather - Francis Ford Coppola What can one say about this film that has already been said.I watch the "The Conversation" a 1974 Coppola film and it struck me that this with The Godfather part 2 and Apocalypse are the best four films that any director every did in succession, just increadable.
5.The Lord of the Rings Trilogy - Peter Jackson I loved the book loved the movies.
6. The Empire Strikes Back - Irvin Kershner (not George Lucas) Every scene in this is classic.
7. Pink Floyd The Wall -Alan Parker Great music, visuals and increadable animation. My not be the happiest film every but why does it have to be.
8. Chinatown - Roman Polanski a great film noir Great mystery with great performance all around. Great ending.
9. The Wild Bunch - Sam Peckinpah A very tough movie with the best shootout in movie history.
10. The Searchers - John Ford My favorate John Wayne film.

Are you going to see Waters / The Wall on tour? I'm going with friends on Sep 30th. We're very excited about it.

Little miss Sunshine (Dayton/Faris) Show me a better ending to a movie!
The trilogy (coppola) Well two of them for sure.
Raging bull (Scorsesee)
Fargo (The Bros Coen) Although I very nearly picked a serious man. Genius's or genii
In Bruges is a phenomenal movie.. kudos to your choice!

Interesting (and surprising). I thought I'd do a list of 10 that no one else has named -- and only American movies.

1. Animal House

2. Blazing Saddles

3. The Big Lebowski

4. M.A.S.H.

5. Citizen Kane

Can't believe that no one chose one of those!

6. Bad Day at Black Rock

7. Annie Hall

8. On the Waterfront

9. The African Queen

10. The Maltese Falcon

If I'd had a free choice, I'd have probably added the Godfathers and maybe Some Like It Hot. All great movies!

Pulp Fiction would DEFINITELY make my 11-20 list with every opportunity to crack the top ten on any given day. Reservoir Dogs would also make the list too.

Indeed. I watched it again today. The final scene with Paul Newman and Tom Hanks in the rain is phenomenal. It's amazing. There are only four words of dialogue in that entire scene, and it's still one of the most powerful and well done scenes in cinema that I have ever witnessed. With that in mind...
