"A man's suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus, suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering great or little. Therefore, the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative." - Viktor Frankl

It's hard to narrow it down to just 10; it becomes so random, dependent largely on what you can remember off the top of your head and how many wonderful films you forget.

  1. Casablanca

  2. The Godfather Trilogy

  3. Rocky I, II and III

  4. Groundhog Day

  5. Pulp Fiction

  6. Apocalypse Now

  7. Elizabeth and Elizabeth: The Golden Age

  8. Phenomenon

  9. Die Hard and Die Hard 2: Die Harder

  10. Diner

  11. Rain Man

  12. Frankie and Johnny

  13. The Fisher King

  14. Ferris Bueller's Day Off

  15. Manhattan...hell, let's just say ALL of Woody's films!

  16. The Silence of the Lambs

  17. Reservoir Dogs

  18. Celestial Clockwork

  19. Defending Your Life

  20. Caddyshack

  21. Hero and House of Flying Daggers

  22. Kramer vs. Kramer

  23. Kill Bill I and II

  24. Terminator I and II

  25. 50 First Dates

Even at 25, I simply ran out of room...could have listed another 50, easy. I'm talking about real favorites, movies that I pop in all the time.

I really can't do a top 10 list like actually have them numbered because it's very tough to do, IMO.

Godfather Trilogy
This is Spinal Tap
Donnie Brasco
Casino
Goodfellas
Shawshank Redemption
Forrest Gump
Clerks
Watchmen
Blues Brothers

There's more but obviously it's tough to compile a list off the top of my head.

This is tough with so many good movies, I'll give it a shot.

- I'm counting the Spaghetti westerns as one.
- Tombstone
- Forrest Gump
- Unforgiven
- American Psycho
- Office Space
- Gladiator
- Terminator 2: Judgment Day
- A Few Good Men
- Scarface

Honorable mention: Jurassic Park. The story was pretty good but visually it was an amazing movie for its time. I vividly remember seeing it in theaters as a teenager.

These could have easily made my list; Kill Bill did.

Much Ado quite literally changed the course of my life, as did some of the films on my list; Clue was genial - Madeline Kahn was brilliant in that.

Off the top of my head:

The Rock
The Breakfast Club
Empire Strikes Back
LOTR: The Two Towers (middle movies of trilogies just seem better?)
Wall-E
Dumb and Dumber
The Dark Knight
Glory
The Hunt for Red October
Ocean's 11

This probably isn't anywhere close to my actual top ten. I could probably garauntee these are all in my top 30 or top 40.. but I'm sure there are just so many that I'm not remembering..
