    here's mine (not even sure i can do this, but i'll try):
    1. seven samurai
    2. vertigo
    3. godfather 2
    4. nashville
    5. citizen kane
    6. casablanca
    7. rear window
    8. full metal jacket
    9. yojimbo and sanjuro (really one movie in two parts)
    10. hannah and her sisters

    but chrissakes...there's so many more. top ten movies are ridiculously hard to quantify. have to add: godfather, double indemnity, sunset boulevard, some like it hot, dr. strangelove, on the waterfront, taxi driver, short cuts, midnight cowboy, the wild bunch, the life of brian, rashomon, saving private ryan, manhattan. i could think of 10 more right now, but will stop.

    ok...couldn't resist. the bicycle thief, hurt locker, che (both parts), american history x, paths of glory, the departed, das boot, unforgiven, fargo, 400 blows, mulholland drive, brazil, chinatown, fitzcarraldo, the grapes of wrath, mean streets, mash, the player... ...ok i'll stop now...:)...i could easily come up with about 50 more that i think are "all time greats".

    Well, this is a moving target, ain't it? Catch me on a different day of the week when I'm doing something different, and the list could well be different.

    Anyway, these are up there:

    1) Unforgiven
    2) CTHD
    3) Hero
    4) Seven Samurai
    5) Love Actually
    6) original Star Wars
    7) Raiders of the Lost Ark
    8) Mega Mind
    9) Cars
    10) Forrest Gump


    Citizen Kane is a good call. It's awesomeness is magnified tenfold when you think about when it was made.
    Casablanca is always good.
    The Christian Bale Batmans, and the recent SpiderMan I and II, are somewhere in my list.
    The Clint Eastwood "Man With No Name" trilogy is my list.

    citizen kane is a ridiculously good movie. unfortunately, it's one where people just don't get the "greatest movie of all time" moniker. i do think it is the "greatest", but my favorite is seven samurai.

    love the christina bale batmans. tim burton really ruined batman. i grew up reading batman comics so the burton movie was a joke. i also love the "man with no name movies" too, but the first one bugs me because it's not a very good remake of yojimbo.

    we can talk movies all day bro!
