3. Glory: Great acting from top to bottom.
2. Shawshank Redemption: Just a great film all around.
1. Dead Poets Society: No film had a bigger impact on my life, plus it's a great film with a sickening, but harrowing ending.

The Player

[resistanze]

which "The Professional" is that? the Luc Besson one? my next ten would be:

The Professional[LEON] (love that...but can't make it to my top ten)
Grosse Pointe Blank
Shawshank Redemption
Escape from Alcatraz
Escape to Victory
Groundhog Day
Serendipity
Scent of a Woman
Nikita
Legend of 1900

can't really include "300" to my list cause I've only watched it once and can ONLY watch it once. Probably the Best Movie I've seen, and will probably be the measuring stick for every movie I'll watch after it, but I can only watch it as a movie. you can't watch it on a small screen....it ruins the experience. :D
the rest I can watch even on a small screen and it'll still be good. :D

[thispego]

oh man i forgot about The Professional. that shit makes my top 5

[dirk4mvp]

Wow I just saw The Departed. I should shoot myself for not seeing it before now. Maybe the 2nd best movie I've ever seen.

[slayermin]

congrats, you are most likely the last person over 3 in america to watch this movie. but i agree that it's great. that is certain.

i'm too lazy to make my list right now and some have been mentioned here already (braveheart, fightclub and ninja scroll) but one that hasn't been mentioned yet that i always thought was great is the usual suspects. that movie is fucking excellent.

[atxrocker]

goodfellas is coming on network tv right now.. not sure if it cracks my top 10 but still a fucking great flick.

[slayermin]

Have you ever seen Apt Pupil? Another good flick by Bryan Singer.

[atxrocker]

[Thunder Dan]

Wow I just saw The Departed. I should shoot myself for not seeing it before now. Maybe the 2nd best movie I've ever seen.

3. Encino Man
4. Jury Duty
5. In the Army Now

[florige]

Man I forgot to add Colateral to my list... That movie is so kick ass!!! That is in my top 3 easily!

[stretch]

Great film but a remake.
Somewhat, there are some major differences. I hear The Departed is much better than the original Chinese version.

[monosylab1k]

Man I forgot to add Colateral to my list... That movie is so kick ass!!! That is in my top 3 easily!
Collateral was in my top 5 up until the point where they both survive a violent car crash with hardly a scratch.

[LuvBones]

to add a new one: Life is Beautiful

[ATRAIN]

Snatch, Fight Club

[leemajors]

[stretch]

i've heard only the opposite.
You're wrong. Sorry.

[stretch]

Snatch, Fight Club
Seems like Fight Club is the most commonly named movie in everyone's list.

[Barbarian]

My next 10...
Goodfellas
Full Metal Jacket
Ninochtka
Casablanca
Jean De Florette
Schindler's List
Wuthering Heights (Laurence Olivier; Merle Oberon)

Seems like Fight Club is the most commonly named movie in everyone's list.

I think its the man crush on Durden.

[WILKINS5487]

So far I will always remember "THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO" and it is still the best movie for me..

I can even remember the radio personalities' discussion about its review when I listen to my sporster satellite radio (http://sirius.com/freeradio) which was newly bought at that time...
