I know I'm forgetting something but unordered:

Hero (Jet Li)
2001: A Space Odyssey
Dark City
The Matrix
Children of Men
City of God

[Pfroggy1]

I don't like to rank movies because I like a lot of movies and some of these movies are special in their own unique way. If I did a list of favorite action films I could rank that, but since it's not specific on anything I'm just not going to rank.

Plus, the series films will count as one movie.

The Matrix (So revolutionary with special effects)
Lord of the Rings
Star Wars
Indiana Jones
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (that movie is just too funny)
The Hobbit (though I haven't seen 5 armies yet)
The Wizard of Oz (revolutionary for the film industry too)
Elf (Christmas movie classic)
Wayne's World (I love SNL)
James Cameron's Avatar (have to specify because Shamalayn made the worst tv to movie film in the history of film)

[Gwynbleidd]

No order.

The Godfather (Leave the gun, take the cannoli.)
Cool Hand Luke (I can eat 50 eggs.)
Gladiator (My name is gladiator.)
Empire Strikes Back (Nooooooooooooo.)
The Matrix (I know kung fu.)
Good Will Hunting (It's not your fault.)
Titanic (What a goddamn majestic movie.)
Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2 (Taking liberties here. Yeah, two movies. But it's pretty much a continuous thing. But... if I'm picking one or the other: damn. It changes all the time so right now I'm feeling Vol. 1 more.)
LOTR Trilogy (See above, but I'll say I'm loving Fellowship of the Ring the most right now)
The Last Samurai (Because reasons)

[Nightlock]

I think the first five are pretty much only in order. After that...well...just as they come to me.

1.) James Cameron's Avatar - hands down, my favorite movie of all time.
2.) The Hunger Games movies.
3.) Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.
4.) Tangled - favorite animated movie of all time.
5.) Harry Potter movies.
6.) You've Got Mail.
7.) The Last Song.
8.) Salt.
9.) Interstellar/The Martian - cause, really, you could flip. Interstellar is more fantasy while The Martian is more realistic. I loved both!
10.) Lord of the Rings.

I think I basically love any movie that after watching it, feel like it has changed me in some enormous or even insignificant way or I can take something away from it.

[Atrophy]

@QwertyMan, High Fidelity is SO good.

10) The Life Aquatic - Okay, okay, I'm willing to objectively admit that maybe it isn't the best Wes Anderson movie, but a dude plays some fantastic David Bowie covers in Portuguese and there's one scene where Bill Murray fires a pistol thirty-something times without reloading it to the sounds of "Search and Destroy" by Iggy Pop.

9) Sympathy For Lady Vengeance - There's a version of this movie that fades to black and white as everything that happens gets bleaker and bleaker; and it's also by the guy who did Old Boy so you know the story is fun and lighthearted.

8) The Secret of NIMH - The last time I watched the Secret of NIMH I had a fever that was somewhere just below the level of needing to go to a hospital. It's about a mom who is trying to protect her sick kid so she goes to get some help from these super smart group of people. Also, they're rats and the mom's a mouse and she has this cool red cape NO WAIT COME BACK. It's well voiced, stunningly animated, and has a real neat back story that, to cut short, pretty much boiled down to Don Bluth making this movie to give a big middle finger to Disney.

7) Rocky Horror Picture Show - My old man showed this to me when I was ten. If you don't know, this movie is about a Transvestite Tim Curry being so good at boning down that he seduces both the female and male lead. It's not a movie you show your ten year old son, but it is probably the best musical ever made. Meat Loaf's in it.

6) Die Hard - It's probably the best action movie ever made, and I'm also one of those jerks who would classify it as one of the best Christmas movies ever made. The PlayStation game based off the trilogy was all right, too.

5) High Fidelity - Top 5 favorite movies of all time starts with High Fidelity. Top 5 reasons it is in my Top 5 favorite movies: 5) John Cusack is pretty much playing a grown up version of his characters from those 80's movies. 4) There are a ton of vinyl records and just seeing them gets me excite. 3) Jack Black does a real good job playing someone you don't like, instead of doing an okay job of playing someone you're supposed to like. 2) Okay, all the characters are real good and realized. 1) Top 5 lists.

4) Full Metal Jacket - Full disclosure: I have yet to watch 2001 or Dr. Strangelove because I am a bad person, but pretty much every scene in this movie is fantastic in someway and extremely memorable. I dunno, maybe I'm just biased because former boss and I used to yell lines from the opening scene at one another and walk around singing the Mickey Mouse club theme song. It's only number 4 because people started staring at me weird when I did it by myself. _{M-I-C, K-E-Y, M-O-U-S-E}

3) Perfect Blue - It's like if Alfred Hitchcock made an anime that also turned out to be his best thriller ever. There's a video out there on the Internet of someone explaining why Satoshi Kon is such a good director due to the way he edits transitions. If you haven't seen Perfect Blue it's okay, because enough of the scenes in it just showed up in Requiem for a Dream and Black Swan anyway.

2) The Thing - Everything looks so creepy, you never know who the Thing really is, the ending is ambiguous in a great way, Kurt Russell's in it, Keith David's in it, it's got that John Carpenter ass music, oh dude it's just so cool and it has those dope practical effects that mostly hold up. There's also a prequel. We'll pretend it doesn't exist.

1) Lost In Translation - For about two hours you watch Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson go around a city and do nothing. It's the best thing ever.

Chinatown

@Zara

Mah kitty cat.

[Dinh AaronMk]

Having been to the movies to see The Revenant, I would easily rank that in my top-ten, if not presently as the very top.

It's seriously a beautiful movie, and the vista shots were astounding. Though clearly no longer, it sort of made me pine for an America that was, wide and wild and not covered in soy and corn fields.

[AirBender]

I guess I'll add mine to this. In no particular order, because it would take way too much effort to figure out how to rate them.

The Lords of the Rings Trilogy
The Hobbit Trilogy
Tangled
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
Spirited Away
9 (Tim Burton)
Rise of the Guardians
Oliver and Company
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Bunraku

Alien
Aliens
RoboCop (80's)
Godzilla (2014)
The Avengers (Marvel)

Sad thing is The Naked Gun, Scary Movie, That's My Boy, Tropic Thunder, Dodgeball and a few other films I know I like are missing. This is the best you can get from me. They are in no order as I hardly ever managed to make something that is in a proper order of what I like more.
