[mikey4444]

Well done Prudie and aelmpvw ! I had to leave some of those off my list...perhaps I should have made it the Top Twenty Films !

Also nice to Mr Scorsese creeping in...not sure how I could have left him off my list though ! ( Taxi Driver, Raging Bull...where would I stop )

[mikey4444]

Can I belatedly make it the Top Eleven ? .....how could I possibly have left out Cinema Paradiso ?

And Das Boot, Death in Venice, Diva, À bout de souffle, French Connection 1 and 2...wish I had never started this now !

[ummmm]

God Fathers are at the top of my list as well.
Deer Hunter
The Killing Fields
Cape Fear (Robert De Niro)
Elf (I just love it)

I won't remember any others until someone else mentions them.

Besides the God Fathers I haven't seen any of the films on your list.

[Prudie]

And we haven't mentioned Shawshank which I think was voted No 1 wasn't it?

[ummmm]

How could I forget that one, Prudie. And The Green Mile...

[Brinjal]

Gone with the Wind
One flew over the cuckoos nest
Deer hunter
Fallen
A few good men
Something about Mary
Wild bunch
Magnificent Seven
Seven
Out of Africa

[Peter Pedant]

O Mikey I would put " My little pony " much higher than you've got it

and for Sqad I would prefer the Perv and Seven Snow Whites
but I agree it is a matter of taste or preference

[Sqad]

I am surprised that nobody has mentioned "Chariots of Fire".....remember Eric Liddell, the Scottish Presbyterian who refused to run his race on a Sunday.

[Peter Pedant]

Or Marilyn Monroe in Some Like it Hot ( released as un Hombre y due faldas in Thpain apparently ) - she refused to appear at all ! on the ggrounds that the plot was so unlikely.

IN her case, money unlocked her acting talent, not sanctitiy

[AlwaysConfused]

It's really hard to identify my top ten, but these are the ones I watch most:
Shawshank Redemption
One flew over the cuckoo's nest
Full metal jacket
The great escape
Dogma
Rain man
Green Street
Fight club
Back to the future 1
Back to the future 3

[paddywak]

Too many to name just ten but two that would definitely be in the list would be Bladerunner and The Wild Bunch

[jno]

no idea but Les Enfants du Paradis, The Three Musketeers (the one with Spike Milligan as Raquel Welch's husband) and 2001 would all be right up there

[flump1]

The Italian Job ( Michael Caine)
Rabbit Proof Fence
The Pianist
Dirty Dancing
Sleeping With The Enemy
The Old Man And The Sea
A Bridge Too Far
The Railway Children
The Ugly Truth.

[Pete65]

The Quiet Man
Babe
The Green Mile
Michael Collins
Red River
The Magnificent Seven
Godfather
ET
Jaws
Perfect Storm
