People must have seen more than two good movies.

The 1992 version with Gary Sinise is the only one I have seen.

I mainly watch comedy, they are funny but far from all time great movies.

Here's a few that would be on my list. I'm not really sure what my top 10 would look like though.

The Sting
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Open Range

It goes without saying that IMHO "The Godfather" should be at the top of any list.

But what I find strange is that "Goodfellas" didn't make it into anyone's top 10 list.

.........And that I do not forgive.

except for the ending. No Country for Old Men is has all the good things you want in a movie..

Glory is quite underrated. One of the best Civil War movies, maybe THE best.

Lots of great movies mentioned here.

I love The Verdict with Paul Newman. Great movie I always watch to the end when I catch it on.

I watched it as a kid and I still have nightmares to this day.

Jaws did it for me!!

I also remember the movie, Grizzly, freaking me out but my wife and I purchased it about 10+ yrs ago and we laughed at how fake it is compared to today's movies.

I really enjoyed these movies but I know there are a bunch more I can't currently recall.

Shawshank Redemption. #1
Forest Gump
Silence of the Lambs
Saving Private Ryan
One flew over the Cuckoos Nest
Brave Heart
Gladiator
Man on Fire. Love this movie as I like seeing justice served!
Heat
American Graffiti

Late to the party but it's nice to see someone else giving The Verdict some love. I thought it was Paul Newman's best performance. Ben Kingsley got the Oscar that year but Newman deserved it, at least in my eyes. In fact the whole movie was perfectly cast.

Just what did that end mean?

Suppose it's impossible for folks not to put favorites on the list. Sort of like -- no, much like -- the MLB Hall of Fame. Thanks for posting this. I've seen the OP's top 10 and the other top 10 he cites, but there are so many great movies, particularly classics, I still want to see. Another couple for consideration: Chinatown and Sunset Boulevard.
