Nice, huge fan of these extraordinary films:

Stalker - Andrei Tarkovsky [1979]
L'Année dernière à Marienbad - Alain Resnais [1961]
El Ángel Exterminador - Luis Buñuel [1962]
Persona - Ingmar Bergman [1956]
Blow-Up! Michelangelo Antonioni [1966]

...

Le Voyage Dans La Lune - Georges Méliès [1902] is great, love the creativity, the art direction, sets and effects ... I need to revisit Amarcord - Federico Fellini [1975] and Rocco I Suoi Fratelli - Luchino Visconti [1960] ... Don't think I've seen An Angel at My Table - Jane Campion [1989] and Last Life in the Universe - Pen-Ek Ratanaruang [2003]

In no order:

The Shining
Casablanca
Badlands
Once Upon a Time in America
Miller's Crossing
Children of Men
Synecdoche, New York
The Wicker Man
Blow Out
Near Dark
Dead Man

Cheated and named eleven. My choices haven't particularly changed since my reply on the second page, although I'd now say that these eleven are a tier above everything else I've ever watched.

EDIT: That's Hardy's The Wicker Man (obviously) and De Palma's Blow Out (less obviously).

I've already posted here, but shit is constantly changing. I mean the mainstays are the mainstays, but some peripheral changes occurred:

My Top 10 at this moment:

1. When Harry Met Sally
2. The World of Apu
3. The Apartment
4. Before Sunset/Sunrise/Midnight (together as one cuz I cheat. Also in that order)
5. Persona
6. The Sweet Hereafter
7. Schindler's List
-----
8. Seven Samurai
9. Alien
10. (Tie) Do The Right Thing/Lost In Translation (another example of cheating. I apologize)

Mild drop off after 7. For me and as of now, those 7 all hold a rock solid place in my mind of being a tier all their own. Truly uniquely brilliant or inspiring or thought-provoking and profound in their own way. I adore all 10, (actually 11, no wait 13) though. The highest regards go to them.

Wait. Do you know what "pleb" means?

😜
As a root from the GrecoRoman era, of course I do. But I often consider my taste to be plebeian (or even generally "commoner") compared to those who have so many obscure choices as their favorites. I worry that, if I were to present my favorite movies list at some sort of film society, I'd be treated as another pretentious college student instead of a serious cinephile.

In any case, I guess it's a silly thing to worry about anyway.

My top 10 is pleb 🙁

1. Satantango (Tarr, 1994)

Stop showing off.

Dude, that movie changed my life.

I never said anything pointing to the contrary. You didn't understand me. That movie may be great, even the greatest of all time, or genuinely the most important in your life, what do I know, what do I care.

However, putting it at #1 and crying over how "pleb" your top 10 is, is either passive-agressively ironical, or a candid display of the most blatantly matter-of-fact sounding showing-off I've ever read.

"Dude" (?), I was not criticising your taste (how could I, and more importantly, how could you ever think I would? Have you never met me on this site?), I was criticising your phrasing.

No, really, on RYM and Letterboxd, having Satantango as a #1 is really cliche. I wish I could have something more original and/or contrarian, but this is what I've really liked the most. Same with most of the rest of my top 10. To put in BEA terms, almost all of these would be on the overall top 500, and maybe even be linked to the "BEA-friendly" chart. Sorry if I seemed passive-aggressive; I promise I didn't mean it that way at all.

10 Man On The Moon (1999)
10 Big Hero 6 (2014)
10 Godfather Part II (1974)

Those three at the 10 spot are just way too different for me to pick one.

I am surprisingly disgusted and shocked at myself only a year ago. Man On The Moon's good but why is it that high? I still adored Repo just a year ago? Oh god ...

I think honestly now it's probably more generic but I'm fine with that.

1 Harold and Maude
2 Donnie Darko
3 (500) Days of Summer
4 In Bruges
5 Better Off Dead ...
6 One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
7 The Shawshank Redemption
8 The Princess Bride
9 Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
10 Safety Not Guarenteed

Here's my top 100 if people are curious (excluding short films, or else The External World would've been top 10 anyhow): http://www.imdb.com/list/ls033689408/

Always looking for more movies, if anyone has recs shoot em my way.
