Holy shit- that came out of left field. You've watched The Green Mile?!

;)

HaHaHa...Are you KIDDING?...It's Stephen King, Baby ;)...I own it, the movie and the books...Same with Shawshank Redemption and Running Man:cool:

* Action - The Dark Knight
* Horror - Silence of the Lambs (more of a thriller really, but close enough)
* Adventure - Pirates of the Caribbean
* Drama - Garden State
* Comedy - 40 Year Old Virgin
* Romance - Runaway Bride
* Musical - Newsies

I don't necessarily think I'd give them all 10/10 but these are my favorite movies....

In no particular order..

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (orig), Night of the Living Dead (orig), Dawn of the Dead (orig), Metropolis, Tombstone, Reservoir Dogs, True Romance, Pulp Fiction, Battle Royale, Apocalypse Now, Full Metal Jacket, Saving Private Ryan, Empire Strikes Back, The Big Lebowski, South Park: Bigger Longer Uncut, T2: Judgement Day, Die Hard, Get Shorty, Shaun of the Dead, First Blood

Some very interesting 10s so far.

Let's have some more.

None too good to note?

I'm honestly really unfamiliar with the genre. I suppose if Breakfast at Tiffanys is considered romance, then I'd cast my vote for it.

You need to check out some of em - The Graduate, When Harry Met Sally, The Bridges of Madison County, and my favorite Arsenic and Old Lace.

• Action - The Dark Knight,
• Horror - Halloween (1978),
• Sci-Fi - Jurassic Park,
• Western - Don't really watch any.,
• War - Schindler's List,
• Adventure - Jaws,
• Drama - The Green Mile,
• Comedy - Team America: World Police,
• Romance - Doctor Zhivago,
• Musical - The Rocky Horror Picture Show,
• Documentary - Super Size Me.

I probably have got a few I favor in one or two categories but I can't really think of them at the moment.

That is a cardinal sin, my young whipper-snapper. :eek:

Grab ahold of a bunch of Eastwood/Leone sphagettis, and pop that western-movie cherry asap.

I don't think I've ever watched a real western movie.

Western just isn't a genre that interests me. I might try and watch a few eastwood films if they come on Tele.

Some other perfect 10 movies for me:

Good shit right there. I can watch those two all the time and never get sick of them.

About a year ago I saw Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon. This may be the closest thing to cinematic perfection I have ever seen. I've probably seen it five times since then, and I can't find a flaw in it! 10/10 indeed.

One-of-a-kind classic, for sure. One of the most incredible films cinematography-wise, too. It was all shot using natural light and candlelight, plus they used a couple of super-fast lenses used by NASA, with infinite depth of field. Kubrick was an amazing lunatic.

It's truly a movie that could only have been done by Kubrick. It has had a profound influence and effect on me this year.
