In no particular order:
Casablanca
Citizen Kane
Maltese Falcon
Lonesome Dove
Stagecoach
Pirates of the Caribbean
Touch Of Evil
Unforgiven
The Incredibles
Snatch
God I could go on all night
third man, ran, hombre, sting, etc etc

Currently:

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
American Psycho
Candy
Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix
The Dark Knight
State of Grace
Batman Begins
Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban
Rory O'Shea Was Here

I'm drawing a blank on a 10th. Sorry, going on three hours of sleep and can't think.

Gary Oldman fan are we? Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead is awesome. The witty banter in that movie moves so fast that I usually end up watching it twice in a row just because there's so much to take in.

in no special order..

Steel Magnolias
Forrest Gump
Gladiatior
Always
Harvey (Jimmy Stewart flick)
The Quiet Man
Curse of the Golden Flower- it's not the story on this one, but the visuals that grab you.
The Dark Knight
Dr. Zhivago
Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil

a bit ecclectic...

Yup, Oldman's character in "Leon - The Professional" is the ultimate antagonist. I hear there is a indie film coming out called: "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Undead." It will probably be a disappointment, but I am glad someone is paying homage. Roth and Oldman were quite the duo.

Keep up the top 10 lists. It is great reference material when I cannot decide what to watch!

Here's a list of my own personal 10 favorite films of all time. Please add your own list or comment on mine.
