I know many are snubbing me(I've been a rather bad boy lately, but I've been good recently), but I felt the time was nigh for yet another, oh no, top ten list.
Poast your top ten films of all time. And please be tasteful.

I'll bite. Jeez…that's a tough one. I never get tired of watching the following:
Fargo
Gimme Shelter
LA Confidential
Sixteen Candles
Pulp Fiction
Little Miss Sunshine
Lost in Translation
Freeway
Almost Famous
Kill Bill 1
Of course I love all the usual classics: Rear Window, Psycho, Some Like It Hot, Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, Full Metal Jacket, Scarface, and then some off-the-beaten-path flicks: Next Stop Wonderland, Clay Pigeons, With a Friend Like Harry, etc. True fact: I've never seen Gone With the Wind, and I've never sat through the Wizard of Oz in its entirety.

L.A. Confidential: I can watch that over & over. David Strathairn was really good in that.

Pretty good, but I thought Cruise was better in Top Gun and Days of Thunder.

I thought the soundtrack is really what made Cocktail. When the guys are rocking out to "Addicted to Love" I thought I felt the earth move. So powerful.

Deliverance
Dr.Strangelove
The President's Analyst
Dawn of the Dead (1978)
Bedazzled (1967)
A Boy and His Dog
Videodrome
The Quiet Earth
Dark Star
Zardoz
Dune (Lynch)
Killing Zoe
Fight Club
Ichi The Killer
In that order, too…just off the top of my head. I'm probably forgetting some gems. Older classics I'd say Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Citizen Kane & Lifeboat.

It's really hard to say since my list seems to be a constantly evolving one, but off the top of my head, in no particular order:
Raising Arizona
North By Northwest
Last of The Mohicans (Michael Mann)
Black Hawk Down
The Great Escape
Cool Hand Luke
Stalag 17
Caddyshack (Ted Knight = comic genius)
True Romance (Best Tarentino script ever)
Miller's Crossing
As for some of the other choices on people's lists, I'm not one to be critical, but…
A Boy and His Dog
Buffalo 66
I just don't get those.

i cant explain my obsession with buffalo 66, but it was the one movie i saw in theaters half a dozen times. film-making wise i really thought gallo was pure genius. of course, he did make the brown bunny which i was tempted to walk out on. and it was one of christina ricci's best performance IMO.
