At first blush that looked like a wacky list, then I put mine together. It's wacky, too!
Lost in Translation
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.
I think I used to think I liked
For A Few Dollars More
more than
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
, 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
Tombstone
) but since I can't decide which one without some re-watches, I'll just honorably mention them.
In chronological order:
All the President's Men- (Alan J. Pakula, 1976)
Apocalypse Now - (Francis Ford Coppola, 1979)
Jacob's Ladder - (Adrian Lyne, 1990)
Trust - (Hal Hartley, 1990)
Groundhog Day - (Harold Ramis, 1993)
Tombstone - (George P. Cosmatos, 1993)
The Spanish Prisoner - (David Mamet, 1997)
Mr. Jealousy - (Noah Baumbach, 1997)
Shakespeare in Love - (John Madden, 1998)
Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind - (Michel Gondry, 2004)
- (Alan J. Pakula, 1976)

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

Even though I love Asian cinema. There are only two that are favourites.
Most of my favourites are in the english language, and a few in other languages
