Hot fuzz had me weeping with tears of laughter. Utterly ridiculous and hilarious.

Here goes then, in no particular order.

1)Alien
2)Aliens
3)Where Eagles Dare
4)Blade Runner (any cut)
5)Indian Jones, Raiders of the Lost Arc
6)Kellys Heroes
7)Star Wars (cant make my mind up which one)
8-Lord of the Rings (all of them)
9)Saving Private Ryan
10)Any Sandra Bullock movie

Some other worthies:

Tunes of Glory
Highway 61
The Shipping News
Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid
Citizen Kane
Waterworld
spinal Tap

Like most other people it's hard to pick my 'top' 10 films.

I'll distort the OP's request slightly and list ten of my favourites that so far no one else has mentioned.

1. Highlander (only the first and original, everything thing following it was garbage)
2. Dead End
3. Run Lola Run (Lola rennt - original German title)
4. Bubba Ho-tep
5. Salem's Lot (David Soul TV movie)
5. Kelly's Heroes
6. Midnight Run

Finally and because one of my other interests is 3D modelling and animation. I'll pick 4 very nice examples.

7. Vexille
8. Wonderful Days
9. Appleseed (Appurushîdo 2004)
10. Ark

The Usual Suspects
The Shawshank Redemption
Toy Story
The Italian Job
Fargo
Twin Town
Monty Python's Life Of Brian
Men In Black
Dogma
Amélie

Hard to limit it to just 10 though - I'm sure at a different time I'd come up with a different list

In no particular order ....

Braveheart
White men can't jump
Schindlers list
Forbidden planet
The Italian job (original)
The Thomas Crown affair (original)
The wrong trousers
Almost any Sandra Bullock film
Almost any Meg Ryan Film
Almost any ..........

Oh my, just ten....
Well in no order.

A Clockwork Orange
Seven
Princess Mononoke
Spirited Away
Ghost in the Shell
Millennium Actress
The Place Promised in our Early Days
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan's Labyrinth)
Der Untergang

I hope I threw some new films into the group, that no one named A Clockwork Orange... although it isn't a film for everyone.

Don't know what you other people are going on about, but my top 10 films of all time are (in no particular order):

Kodak Technical Panchromatic 2415
Ilford XP2
Ilford HP5
Ilford FP4 Plus
Kodak BW400CN
Fujicolor PRO 160S
Fuji Velvia 50
Kodak Ektar 100
Kodak Kodachrome 60
Konica SR-G 3200

After 73 years of service Kodak Kodachrome is no more , waved goodbye to it last year. *sniff* never had the pleasure using one

Oi! Pay attention, Kellys Heroes was my number 6 so you cant have it

Great minds think alike

Ooo, I forgot about those two, especially the first, based on Shakespears The Tempest if I remember correctly

Kodachrome 25 was the first film I ever used or at least the first that I remember using, with a (model name forgotten) Russian 35mm compact. This would be circa 1973-75.

Oh the reds - such reds as seem impossible today - even my current colour fav - Fuji Pro 160S can't equal it. Admittedly the great advantage to the Fuji is it doesn't use K-14. I shudder to think how expensive it would be if I had to use K-14 now...

Gradually getting back into film - heavily - but I don't list my kit here as it (ssssh) isn't Pentax - it's a Bronica ETRSi.

PS I ought to add my cinema film favs to the thread but I prefer the nostalgia.

1. Serenity
2. 2001
3. Blade Runner (The Final Cut)
4. Full Metal Jacket
5. Terminator
6. Dawn of The Dead (Original)
7. Dr. Strangelove
8. Withnail and I
9. Ginger Snaps Back
10. Alien

It’s hard to pick just 10 and apart from the first three not in any particular order.

Some surprising/interesting choices – seeing Bubba Ho-tep raised a smile, a funny film and it made me think about adding a Bruce Campbell/Sam Raimi film to my list – if only for the commentaries which are usually funnier than the dialogue.

I think all my favourite films have been included on other peoples lists with the exception of "This is Spinal Tap". I've seen it 100 times and it still makes me laugh.
