I found Casablanca and Citizen Kane boring, but I love A Christmas Carol with Alastair Sim.
 
Hey Jg Marceaux

How do you rank Pan's on your list. I see you have it the top. I think cinematographers and editors alike, should study that movie. Mulholland Drive, is definitely not a movie for everyone, but people either really like it or they don't at all.
 
My ten as of this minute:

Shawshank Redemption
The Empire Strikes Back
Raising Arizona
John Carpenter's The Thing
The Shining
The Color Purple
Boogie Nights
Evil Dead 2
The Warriors
Invasion Of The Body Snatchers '78

These wouldn't really be my opinion of the greatest films ever made, which I guess is the point of this thread, but the movies I find myself picking out of my collection repeatedly. So, Ritchie's most watched list is more appropriate.

Wow, that's pretty much impossible for me. But here goes...

Lawrence of Arabia
La Dolce Vita
Network
Ikuru
The Singing Detective (1986 British Version)
Persona
Pather Panchali
Rear Window
Cache
Breaking the Waves

I feel bad leaving off Peter Weir, Terrance Malick, Robert Altman, Coppola, John Cassavettes, Jim Jarmusch, Stanley Kubrick, Wong Kar Wai, David Lynch, Jean Renoir, Antonioni, Edward Yang, and Anh Hung Tran because they have made some of my favorites.

Dude, judging from the responses so far, it seems like most people haven't seen Kane....or The Bicycle Thieves, The Third Man, Lawrence Of Arabia, Raging Bull, La Dolce Vita, La Regle Du Jeu, 8 1/2, The Passion of Joan of Arc, and a whole bunch of other great films.

This thread could be the top ten films of last 12 years, or top ten films made during the 17 years you've been alive.

Don't be afraid to see Citizen Kane. Odds are a few of the directors you look up to consider it a masterpiece, and have found it influential. It isn't boring at all, nor is Casablanca...not if cinematography, mis en scene, and strong performances interest you.

You're not one of those people who eschews black and white films, are you? I'd guess that you are not, since you have Schindler's List jotted down.

I wont go through my top ten, but I do have a favorite that many do not share with me.... Meet Joe Black.

I think the story is enchanting, a great lesson in love, life and death. It is shot beautifully by one of the greatest DP's in our modern day. The length is long and it may not have any explosions, but it is a clever and well crafted film.

Not to mention I fall for Claire Forlani's character everytime. I want to be Brad Pitt's character, and when I'm older, I want to be Anthony Hopkins character... or just Anthony Hopkins because he is one of the coolest old men.

haha :)

Not to hi-jack, but DeSica is absolutely right.

We've got some interesting conversations going in the 100 Films forums (click any link below) on benchmark motion pictures that are considered required viewing for new and established filmmakers alike.

I'd like to challenge anyone who predominantly favors films (by 50% or more) produced within the past twenty-five years in their Top 10 to participate in one or more of our 100 Films discussions.

There is a great deal that can be learned through the study of older pictures even as we all struggle to stay on top of the newest emerging techniques and technologies. Please add your voice to the conversation!

Cheers,
