Maybe not all ten, but nonetheless:
1. Leviathan (Zvyagintsev)
2. The Godfather (Copolla)
3. The Return (Zvyagintsev)
4. Cast away (Zemeckis).
5. Come and see (Klimov)
6. City lights (Chaplin).
7. The citizen Kane (Welles).
---
that is without thinking too much.

And maybe some characteristics:
1. It is about the character and the will of living. What the one should face when has all his connections with the society and "normal living" cut off. What would be your answer to abyss(Leviathan)?
2. Everybody seen... The movie about fortitude and responsibility. Real men's movie.
3. Again about people's peronality and maturing.
4. Same thing about hard times in everybody's life.
5. Simply the best movie about war.
6. Best melodrama.
7. Good thinking about wealth and its influence on mind.

Leviathan is good, but not amazing. I wouldn't put any of those in the top ten.

I also think it's about the mood you are in when you watch the film. If you're in the wrong mood, the film won't take you so easily.

i haven't seen other movies which emphasize the same idea as leviathan does. And this idea i consider as very important in living.
I rate movies not by mood, but by thoughts after watching.

The Russian Leviathan?

Eagle, if we knew each other, I am absolutely positive that we would never go to a movie together in our entire lives!

Casablanca
Treasure of Sierra Madre
Lawrence of Arabia
Twelve angry Men
Grapes of Wrath
Last Picture Show
To Kill a Mockingbird
Pulp Fiction
High Noon
Wizard of Oz

One of my movies is Wizard of Oz
I like...( but depressing) Grapes of Wrath
To Kill a Mockingbird ( classic)
Pulp Fiction is good too.

I made my boys watch The Unsinkable Molly Brown...lol.. I live by that movie.
A true story of a very poor woman, but was a fighter. She found gold and became the richest person in the snobby city of Boulder.. but never became a snob
She survived the Titanic , and the moral of the story is ... fight hard and love is the most important thing in life..There is a museum in Boulder now.

Did you know that you can watch all the old movies on You Tube? I have chrome TV insert ( Target $35.00) and you can watch anything from the internet.

I just watched all of the old John Wayne, Frank Sinatra , Clint Eastwood ect.

[Bonzi]

I agree. A poll would be interesting! (as long as you include at LEAST one of mine!!!)
