In the
Inception thread, an interesting discussion about favorite/best movies has sprung up.
What do you think the
Ten Best Films of All Time are?
This is more than just your favorite movies, as it is hard to discuss and argue simply about a person's opinion. Think of what you think the Ten Best Movies are. How you define "best" can be up to you, but you should be able to formulate a reason why for any movie is on your list that isn't personal (like, "that was the first movie I saw with my girlfriend".)
Personally, they would be movies I enjoyed, but are also influential in the film world and/or society as a whole. Chances are that they are movies that are borrowed from quite a bit in whatever genre they reside.
There is also a poll, which is separate. These are some films which often appear on varieties of "Top Ten Film" lists. Would you include any of these films on your list?
