In spite of Wolf666's effed up movie list - Paint Your Wagon and Blade. WTF? - I could sit down with any one of you cats and find something mutually agreeable.
As I get older I find myself reaching, more and more, for certain directors. Peckinpah is always a favorite, as is Tarrentino and Richard Brooks.
The fact that you guys tossed in Scosese, Eastwood, Guy Ritchie and Orson Welles, well hell, its all good.

Limiting it to ten is hard... No particular order besides #1.
1. My alltime favorites are the Boondock Saints movies. Not great works of film, but as far as really enjoying movies, these have provided the most value for me personally. I can watch them over and over.
2. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Even if they don't compare to the books, they're still great movies.
3. The Godfather Trilogy
4. The Hannibal Trilogy
5. The Secret Window (One of Depp's best)
6. The Prestige
7. The Pianist
8. Schindler's List
9. There Will Be Blood
10. Titus
11. One extra here if you count miniseries, in which case Band of Brothers makes the list.

I went nuts over Star Wars when I saw it as a first release. I was a young teen and was transfixed! Now I have trouble watching it - seen it too many times. :

Shoah (all eight hours or whatever)
Gone With The Wind (for its incredible editing and Vivian's acting)
8 1/2 for its visionary images
Persona (I won kudos for my review of this when I was in college)
Casablanca for its depiction of historical existential limbo
Blind Man, an almost unknown movie that makes Tarantino unnecessary
Annie Hall, Interiors, The Butler, and Zelig, Sleeper, among other Woody Allen
Fantasia, despite my mistrust of everything Disney
The Red Desert (Antonioni)
Many others, but this gives the drift.
