In no order and, as always, subject to change:
Vertigo--Hitchcock
Rear Window--Hitchcock
Three Colors trilogy--Kieslowski
The 400 Blows--Truffaut
This is Spinal Tap--Reiner
Metropolitan--Stillman
Citizen Kane--Welles
The Godfather--Coppola
Nashville--Altman
Stranger Than Paradise--Jarmusch
The Kieslowski films seem like one to me, so that's how I'm counting them.

Raiders of the Lost Ark
Singin' in the Rain
Husbands and Wives

[Rob Tomlin]

Some very interesting lists here!
I must say that I am surprised that nobody has listed Dances with Wolves as one of their top 10 movies. Even though it didnt make my list either, it probably would have made my top 15!

 

[Bruce Hedtke]

As of now...
Belle De Jour
12 Angry Men
In the Company of Men
D.O.A.
My Fair Lady
The Story of Qiu Ju (or any Zhang Yimou film)
M
Alphaville
Such a Long Journey
Taxi Driver
Except for Belle De Jour, all the others are in random order.

He had a plan. Maybe you just didn't see it 'til it hit you between the eyes. But, it started to make sense... in a Tyler sort of way. No fear. No distractions. The ability to let that which does not matter truly slide.
