I always post in these list threads, because my top films do vary. I would say these four films are my all-time favourites:
True Romance (Alabama Worley is such a cool character, and the music is just insanely good)
Almost Famous (Excellent soundtrack, sweet story and another fantastic female lead character in Penny Lane)
Goodfellas (The greatest gangster film of all time, IMO)
Milk (Sean Penn totally deserved the Oscar. Such an inspiring story)
And the following films are always in and out of my top 10:
Pulp Fiction, Mean Girls, American Beauty, Atonement, Blue Valentine, Casablanca, Drive, Karate Kid, Pretty in Pink, Garden State, Leaving Las Vegas, Leon, Rain Man, Working Girl.

1) The Great Escape
2) The Shawshank Redemption
3) Cast Away
4) Airplane
5) The Magnificent Seven
6) Four Weddings and a Funeral
7) And Then There Were None (1939 version)
8) Back to the Future

Yeah, I know most of those are extremely recent. What can ya do?
I'm 20 mate. But I get why you asked, it does look like the list of a teenager
I mean, I have watched some of the classics, such as Clockwork Orange, Rear Window, even going as far back as Metropolis. But for whatever reason it's the more modern films that do it for me.
Something I have resisted doing for years...but I have been giving it some thought and decided I can come up with a list of ten at least.
Once Were Warriors - Lee Tamahori
Thief - Michael Mann
Glengarry Glen Ross - James Foley
Starman - John Carpenter
Goodfellas - Martin Scorcese
Nid Des Guepes - Florent Emilio Siri
Mr Smiih Goes To Washington - Frank Capra
Blade Runner - Ridley Scott
Life Of Brian - Terry Jones
The Exorcist - William Freidkin
Withnail & I
Return of the Living Dead
Beverly Hills Cop
Drive
The Thing [1982] ...obviously
The Matrix Reloaded
Last of the Mohicans
No Country for Old Men
The Bourne Ultimatum
The Hill
Odd, not a mention of the 'best film ever made' which is supposed to be Vertigo.
Or Citizen Kane either. Is it us or is it them?
Here's the thing...some people when compiling such lists will go for the most well known, acknowledged classics that they read in various lists and compilations of best ever movies etc.
But it's too easy to put together a list of what other people think are the best movies...actually harder to put together a personal list of 10 films you personally love and may watch regularly.
And a lot of those choices may seem odd or obscure to others...but the point is it's about YOUR top ten movies, not what other people think are the best, not about what the critics, polls, surveys etc say are the best.
