    These are just sort of in the order I thought of them, rather than exact order of preference, which I couldn't possibly decide if you paid me. My most favorite ones are first, but after 10 or so it gets more random. Plus there's like 60-something here - no less 'cause I can't decide what to cut, no more 'cause that's where I ran out of steam.

    Casablanca

    In order for a film to be included in this list, I considered not only whether it entertained me and I enjoyed it, but also whether I believe it is a well made movie, and is a quality film. Perhaps some might argue with the quality of some of my choices, but this is just my opinion.

    Here's mine:

    BATMAN BEGINS The real Dark Knight has stood up...

    BATMAN (1989)

    Here's the rest in no particular order:

    LOVE & DEATH Love him or hate him, Woody Allen was a cinematic genius in the 70s.

    ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE My absolute favorite of the 007 lot.

    THUNDERBALL

    TAKE THE MONEY & RUN Classic Woody Allen hands down.

    THE BIG LEBOWSKI

    SUPERMAN THE MOVIE I truly believed that a man could fly...until this summer's hacked travesty. 8-)

    SUPERMAN II Arguably better than its predecessor.

    STAR TREK: THE WRATH OF KHAN Made me forget about the lackluster first one...respectfully. :D

    STAR TREK: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK

    THE THING (1982) Kurt Russell playing the bada$$ always works.

    THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY

    A CLOCKWORK ORANGE A film that gets better and better with age.

    DIRTY HARRY The rebel cop formula doesn't get any better than this...sorry but it's true.

    THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK The most riveting in the entire franchise...or maybe that's my childhood impressions speaking.

    STRANGERS ON A TRAIN Robert Walker ran away with his character if not the entire film. He out-acted everyone else involved.

    THE SHINING (1980) C'mon...it's Jack.

    THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY I don't hear much praise for this masterpiece but I can honestly say that I never tire of watching it. The first film that made me aspire to visit Italy seeing that it captured its vivid beauty.

    NORTH BY NORTHWEST

    SALEM'S LOT

    THE OMEN

    GOODFELLAS DeNiro, Scorcese & New York gangsters = good formula.

    BLADE One of the best comic book intros I've ever seen in the genre. The bloodbath at the beginning was simply cool. Snipes fit this part like a glove.

    One honorable mention goes to:

    ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA: Sergio Leone made what I consider to be a mesmerizing gangster flick. The musical score alone was simply beautiful. DeNiro & Woods...wow.
    Mrs. Man Face: "You wouldn't hit a lady? Would you?"

    Batman: "The Hammer Of Justice is UNISEX!"
    -Batman: The Brave & The Bold -

    01) Gone with the Wind

    there are only 2 bond movis, where does bond fall on your favorite movies.

    I was just wondering whether 'The Maltese Falcon' was the movie of Anthony Horowitz' book 'The Falcon's Malteser' (spelling?). And also whether or not anyone know's whether the same author mimicked 'North by Northwest' movie for his boook of the same series 'South by Southeast'? All help would be appreciated, thanks.
    Unfortunately having lived such a short time I haven't heard of let alone seen most of the great movies listed by others so I don't feel I would be able to give a Top 25 list. Though 'Dirty Harry' did stand out to me cus my mate showed me some of it at the weekend. We didn't have time to watch all the movie so he just showed me a couple of the good parts and now they're Clint Eastwood's voice is permenantly stuck in my head. :D
    Relax darling, I'm on top of the situation -{

    Actually 'The Maltese Falcon' is based on the Dashiell Hammett novel of the same name. I recommend tht you see it. It's a brilliant film.

And when they start not smiling back—that’s an earthquake. and then you get yourself a couple of spots on your hat, and you’re finished. Nobody dast blame this man. A salesman is got to dream, boy. It comes with the territory." Death of a Salesman

    I second that; it's Bogart at his finest (even though he looks nothing like the character from the book).
