My Top Ten Movie List of all Time

Here they are my top ten -

Tough to pick only ten, many factors went into these picks.
Factors including, awesomeness - shots - dialogue -action - great story telling - characters - watch ability ( can you see it over and over and over and still like it )

Now you know my scientific criteria - with out further ado here they are -

10 - The Incredibles - this movie is totally wicked - one of the best action films of all time - nice of you to drop by Do yourself a favor if you have never seen it, or thought it was only a kids movie buy it,  see it -

9 - Good Fellas - Great flick - Has one of my all time favorite shots - Panning down the bar and introducing each guy - also solidified Joe Pesci as a "Funny Guy"

8 - The Princess Bride - Any Movie with Andre the Giant deserves a spot in the top ten- So many Great Lines . . . .  My name is . . . and I'm going to kill you - By any chance do you have six fingers?

7 - Stagecoach - A list without a John Wayne/John Ford Movie is not a list - let alone a list without a western. " You may need me and this Winchester, Curly. Saw a ranch house burnin' last night" - Great Line

6- Animal House - First time I saw this movie I could not stop laughing . . . .of course I was 12yrs old  . . it still makes me laugh - Double secret probation - The principal at my high school used that one me!

5 - Caddyshack - I get a call from a buddy anywhere in the world, when this movie is on -  What a great film - made me want to take up golf - I use lines from this film everyday life - looks good on you though

4 - Star Wars - One of the films that defined my early life - When I really want to show my geek side I can quote most of the movie from start to finish - First appearance of Darth Vader, boy that was a great movie moment -  Ben's house " your father wanted you to have this" - Vader's Force choke " I find your lack of faith disturbing" I could go on and on -

3 - Jaws - It is what you don't see that makes this film great - The sound track for the shark plays in my head daily - As well as the Line " We're gonna need a bigger boat"

2 -  The GodFather 1&2- Yes, a tie part one and part two - This movie is so good it gets quoted in other movies .  "Take the cannoli  leave the gun"  - One of my favorite scenes, The doorway as Micheal's wife leaves and Tom walks in and the door closes . .man what a superb moment -
 

1 - Casablanca - I have seen this movie hundreds of times, I still like it - I can remember my X wife asking me how I could watch a movie more then once and I replied you listen to songs over and over again right? That shut her up! So much of this movie has wound up in our culture - 'Ricks' - I'm a hopeless romantic at heart - This movie has it all -

I love this film

Some honorable mentions : The Bridge on the River Kwai - The Unforgiven - Spinal Tap - Airplane -Lawrence of Arabia - The Graduate -Shane- The Wild Bunch -Seven Samurai - The Magnificent Seven -Oliver -High Noon - My Darling Clementine -The Fugitive -Toy Story - The Usual Suspects - Rocky -Treasure of Sierra Madre - There are more for sure but those were close to the top ten!

Hope that gives some perspective on my tastes -
