------------------
He thought on homeland, the big timber, the air thin and chill all the year long. Tulip poplars so big through the trunk they put you in mind of locomotives set on end. He thought of getting home and building him a cabin on Cold Mountain so high that not a soul but the nighthawks passing across the clouds in autumn could hear his sad cry. Of living a life so quiet he would not need ears. And if Ada would go with him, there might be the hope, so far off in the distance he did not even really see it, that in time his despair might be honed off to a point so fine and thin that it would be nearly the same as vanishing.
-- Charles Frazier, Cold Mountain

This list does change every other day.
1. 2001: A Space Odyssey
2. Taxi Driver
3. A Clockwork Orange
4. Citizen Kane
5. Raging Bull
6. The Decalogue (I thought it was a TV movie, but since DonaldB listed it, I'll count it!)
7. Dr. Strangelove
8. The Seventh Seal
9. Annie Hall
10. The Seventh Seal
As you can see, too many newer (post 1970) American films, but since it's a favorites list, it stands.
