Me split thread like monkey throw poo-poo

Thought it'd be fun and informative to have everyone post what their top 10 list is. That way, you can know what kind of movies your fellow CGR users are into if you're looking for something to watch. And you can know where someone's coming from when they post their opinions in other threads. Use whatever criteria you want...The movies I picked are ones that had big impact when I first watched them and yet haven't lost their power after many subsequent viewings.

Rules are:

1) Just one post. Edit it if your list changes over time.
2) Just ten movies. No honorable mentions please.
3) No discussion. If you have an issue with someone putting the Olsen twins' "Passport to Paris" on their top ten list, then start a new thread or PM them. This thread is meant for reference only.
4) Follow the simple format of 10 lines, one line per movie. I guess you can post explanations too, but make the list easy to read.

*edit by art (feel free to edit this out if you feel, Goodness... it's your thread)
5. Each movie in a series is a seperate movie. a series is not a single choice. ie., no "6. Original Star Wars Trilogy"

This is all legit and legal. PM me for more questions. If you sign up through my link and complete an offer, I will give you $10 after I'm given credit for your completion. The blockbuster deal is $10 and you get movies for a month and 4 in-store coupons for movies. So if you cancel before you're billed for the second month you basically are getting free movies sent to you and 4 coupons for free.

I get paid everytime you click this.
