What's your top ten movies?

[pete's montreux]

I don't think this has been done in a while and I haven't even thought about it in a few years. I used to think my top ten movies would consist of movies I liked the most but now I realize that can't be true because I watch other movies a lot more than the movies I used to think were my favorites. All of the movies listed below I watch on a semi-regular basis.

I can't put mine in order:

Unforgiven [obviously]
the Assassination of Jesse James...
Let the Right One In
Leon
No Country For Old Men [after disliking it for so long]
the Shining
Taxi Driver
Zodiac
Band of Brothers
Jaws

And that's it. I can't comfortably put movies in that I've only seen once or twice because I tend to overreact or under-appreciate like NCFOM. There are tons that I've seen once that I know I'll end up watching 100 times in my lifetime that will be in my top 10 or 20 but not now.

Can a movie be in your top ten that you've only seen once? How does everyone else do theirs? Your favorites no matter how many times you've seen it or a combination of favorite + number of viewings? Can a movie be in your top ten if you think it has no re-watch-ability factor?

I love Band of Brothers but it's not movie so it's mini series.

I can't put any of these movies in order, but my list would be as follows:

Saving Private Ryan
The Dark Knight
Training Day
Pineapple Express
Rise of the Planet of the Apes
The Day the Earth Stood Still
Horrible Bosses

Shit... I'm having a hard time picking 10 movies I'd put in my top 10. I'll just keep it as is.

Leon is overrated. I never understood it's high ranking by so many people.

Good movie but it's ranked at #32 in the top 250 on IMDB. That's getting carried away.

Hot Fuzz and Jurassic Park are the only movies I need.

The Karate Kid 1984
Terminator
The Road Warrior
Dawn of the Dead 2003
Predator

Blade Runner is one of the many movies I've seen once or twice that I know I'll revisit many times in the future. I'm constantly thinking about it. I'll watch it again soon, and then again soon after that and I'm sure it'll make It's way into my favorites.
