<p dir="auto">These are all great lists from you guys.<br />
-Apocalypse Now (It's not a 10, it's about a 17)<br />
-2001 A Space Odyssey<br />
-La Cienaga<br />
-The Act of Killing<br />
-8 1/2<br />
-4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days<br />
-Lawrence of Arabia<br />
I have to subtract 2046 and Oasis from my list of 10s on the basis of being Asian.<br />
If I had to fill the top 10 out with 9s, I would probably pick from:<br />
-La Dolce Vita<br />
-Bridge on the River Kwai<br />
-Underground (1995)<br />
-Wild Strawberries<br />
-Fitzcarraldo<br />
-Talk to Her<br />
-Marilena from P7<br />
-Rear Window<br />
-Y Tu Mama Tambien<br />
-Das Boot<br />
-Solaris<br />
-Mulholland Drive<br />
-American Beauty<br />
-Fargo<br />
Interestingly, these are mostly sort of traditional arthouse movies. Although I do agree that Groundhog Day deserves a place in this list!</p>

Goodfellas<br />
The French Connection<br />
All About Eve (1950)<br />
V for Vendetta<br />
Ben Hur (1959)<br />

<p dir="auto">At first blush that looked like a wacky list, then I put mine together. It's wacky, too!<br />
Lost in Translation<br />
used to have a place. I watched that film over a dozen times, but what's her face has soiled my enjoyment of it any more.<br />
I think I used to think I liked<br />
For A Few Dollars More<br />
more than<br />
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly<br />
, but when I think of them now all the outstanding scenes come from the latter. One of them belongs on this list (probably in place of<br />
Tombstone<br />
) but since I can't decide which one without some re-watches, I'll just honorably mention them.<br />
In chronological order:<br />
All the President's Men</p>
<ul>
<li>(Alan J. Pakula, 1976)<br />
Apocalypse Now</li>
<li>(Francis Ford Coppola, 1979)<br />
Jacob's Ladder</li>
<li>(Adrian Lyne, 1990)<br />
Trust</li>
<li>(Hal Hartley, 1990)<br />
Groundhog Day</li>
<li>(Harold Ramis, 1993)<br />
Tombstone</li>
<li>(George P. Cosmatos, 1993)<br />
The Spanish Prisoner</li>
<li>(David Mamet, 1997)<br />
Mr. Jealousy</li>
<li>(Noah Baumbach, 1997)<br />
Shakespeare in Love</li>
<li>(John Madden, 1998)<br />
Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind</li>
<li>(Michel Gondry, 2004)</li>
</ul>
