Thank you cinephile. Would you like to add a quote?
"This movie is intelligent, based on an excellent book, played by a legendary actor such as Morgan Freeman. Directed by a true artist ( Frank Darabont), I hope that this movie will be remembered for many years, Probably the best picture ever made. You need to see at least one time in your life."
Should I link the mentioning of Frank Darabont to his profile? You decide. ;D
Yes, it is a good idea.
Done. :)

leavey: Do you wanna give a quote for your #1?
Phenomenal and sheer brilliance in every aspect that cannot be matched
by modern cinema, Coppola's 'The Godfather' is cinematic perfection in
every aspect of filmmaking. A masterpiece.
Once upon a time in the west is from 1968
Hoekki:
Thank you for noticing. I'll put it from the list. That's when you do two or three things at one time. ;)

Would you please give me another candidate for #3?

Thank you otter. Would you like to suggest a quote for your #1?
Narrowing this list to ten films was extremely tough! If I was making this list some other day, it would have probably looked different, based on my mood. Bus as it stands now, my Top 10 is:
Ko to tamo peva (1980)
Excalibur (1981)
Clue (1985)
Terminator 2 (1991)
Jurassic Park (1993)
The Big Lebowski (1998)
The Prince of Egypt (1998)
The Lord of the Rings (2001-2003); I don't care what anyone says, it's a single movie, split in three parts
Children of Men (2006)
Song of the Sea (2014)

Quote for my #1:
Endlessly rewatchable and quotable - a perfect mix of comedy, drama and adventure, with a lot of memorable characters.

Thank you. Just single movies. Not trilogies, quarologies, pentalogies, ... etc. The movie you have chosen stand for the trilogy for real fans, isn't it? I would choose 'Back to the Future' if I would take it for the top 10 and I would let it stand for the whole trilogy. Every Fan knows that. ;)

NDBportmanfan 1: Thank you for suggesting. Do you have a quote for your suggestion's #1? It would make your suggestion more complete.
It is such a sweet story that really left an impression in terms of me appreciating films. I would have never branched out and tried to discover amazing films from the past or from different countries without watching this; I may never had the desire to visit this wonderful website either.
1. Fallen Angels (1995)
2. Taxi Driver (1976)
3. The Godfather - Part II (1974)

7. Goodfellas (1990)

9. The King of Comedy (1982)
10. Scarface (1983)
Description for 1:
There is much talk but little being said, much hustle-bustle but so much loneliness. But amid the crowds streaming past quickly, you may find a deaf man amusing himself in slow-motion.

I really like that you show that 'The Godfather - Part II' is better than the first part. I think so, too. It's for me like 'Star Wars'. For me, Episode 5 was the best. :)

Yeah, I always blow people away on here when I say that. ;)
Corporate ident! I put it to the list. Quote for #1?
NIA for 'Big Bad' there are many movies. I took the most recent. It would be better to link it for such lists or at least give a date to avoid confusion. Please check, if these are the right movies, I linked. Thank you for suggesting. :D
Yep, you got all the right ones! Thanks!
Quote:
It's an absolutely exhilarating adventure with all the right ingredients! The makers were imaginative, but respected the wonderful source material by C.S. Lewis. And Liam Neeson was simply made to be Aslan.

You may notice that the 70s are my favorite decade in terms of movies, 5 of my 10 films are from the 70s.
Let me think of something to say about Taxi Driver that doesn't sound silly or pretentious haha.
You don't have to, if you don't want to. It would make your suggestion more complete. But anyway. If you want something to quote about it later, you can do later. But when it's online, I don't want to ask for 10 repushes or something like that. Thank you for giving me your example for a top 10 list. :D
(Edited)
I though for my own list like many movies you have on your list, specially 'City of God'. It's a masterpiece! Most of the others were on my mind, too! ;D
About Taxi Driver:
Taxi Driver is not only my favorite movie, it is also the movie that has affected me the most, it gave me a state of alienation like no movie, no book, no song has done it, I fell in love with the underground world through which Travis travels through of his yellow taxi in a kind of descent into madness while the smoke escapes through the vents of the streets, and the cab splashes through water from hydrants--a Stygian passage.

Yes I found the list, I thought you meant an older poll. I will think about a description.
About Machinist:
You don’t know what you are watching until the film is finished. Then all pieces fall into place, just like Trevor Reznik, Christian Bale in the performance of his life, and you see what for masterpiece this movie is.

Done. :D
"Hayao Miyazaki created a masterpiece of animation, and this type of films is what makes Japanese animation always above the American, this is a mature, complex and deep animation, Miyazaki's work is almost perfect, the history is surreal and fantastic and has a beauty that only this movie could have"
This top could easily be made of Miyazaki movies, however I gave other great filmmakers a chance

The first comment only makes sense if all 10 comments are there. There is a theme in the movies selection.
Using the 1st comment is useless.
Change it to this.
The 10 movies listed here remind us of all that is good and bad in a modern society and what you can do if you dare to be part of it.

No sorry, I let it stay that way. If you don't want it, I can still change your reason-line to "n/a", if you want so. It's also about the #1, but in a top 10 list. And no - I won't redesign this all now. The poll deciders can take it online or not. They decide. I f not, it's not bad, just another offer. But if they have a lack of suggestions later, they still might use it.
(Edited)
my reasoning for Brazil as my #1: It's an amazing fantasy story with incredible visuals and great performances, especially Robert Dinero's cameo as the blackmarket fugitive heating repairman. It's the story of a everyman who is happy in his anonymity who finds himself chasing the girl of his dreams, literally, through the world of an oppressive government that controls everything and tries to control everyone. It holds up well after 30 years and stands the test of time.

Thank you, I've put it to the list.
1.- Black Swan (2010)
Visually stunning and with a powerful lead actress, it is a movie that shows three stories in one. The descent of a dancer into madness, the rivalry in a ballett for the main role and the story of Swan Lake.

3.- Children of Men (2006)
4.- Jurassic Park (1993)

Thank you Pencho. I've put your suggestion to the list.
I could have made this list 10 animated feature films. That would have been easier to pull together afterall, I've rated 3155 films from 1970 to present. The following list is from hunting and pecking from those rated 10/10. And that still was a herculean task where I'm sure I missed who knows what. AS it stands? This is a bastardized top ten list from my previous ranking I deleted a couple of years ago in order to motivate myself into creating a new top 100 list.
1. Princess Mononoke (1997)
2. Spirited Away (2001)
3. Ghost in the Shell (1995)
4. Children of Men (2006)
5. Sideways (2004)
6. The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
7. Howl's Moving Castle (2004)
8. Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)
9. Chinatown (1974)
10. Sicario (2015)
Hayao Miyazaki's visually striking masterwork is even more powerful in this environmental and political climate. Civilization and nature at war with each other.

Birdman
The Killing of A Chinese Bookie
The Blues Brothers
The Conversation
Jaws
Before The Rain
Do The Right Thing
Terminator 2
Day Of The Dead (1985)
Papillon
The French Connection
Raiders of The Lost Ark
The Thief
Raising Arizona
These are also among my favorite films, but the ones I listed are of course better. (I think I just wrote down pretty much all of my post-1970 favorites)
I consider Das Boot as the best film ever made, but I put it at number two and put my favorite at the no.1 spot. I guess that was the point of this poll, wasn't it, to name our favorite movies as opposed to best movies?
The reason I chose Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels as my favorite film is very simple: it's the most fun I ever had watching a film. It has perfect photography, perfect editing (never, ever slowing down or going so fast that you miss the story) looks extremely slick, has perhaps the best and most quotable dialogue I heard in a comedy, Guy Ritchie used music as well as Tarantino, perhaps even better, almost like a character in the film. And although the plot is extremely intricate, you have no trouble following it. At least I didn't.
(I didn't include Shawshank. I rated it 10 on imdb and wrote a short, praising review, but like I said on my review, I consider it a very beautiful film, but not a truly great film. But I admit I must have watched it 40 times, and know almost all the lines by heart)
2 - Das Boot
3 - Apocalypse Now
4 - The Godfather (I consider 1 & 2 a single film, they complement each other)
5 - Reservoir Dogs
6 - Alien
7 - Fight Club
8 - Evil Dead
9 - Unforgiven
10 - Blade Runner
titles I had to leave out, but feel that I must mention anyway:
Amadeus
Smoke
JFK
The Sting
Machan
Come And See
Goodfellas
Silence Of The Lambs
Schindler's List
Jeremiah Johnson
Rocky
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
Letter To America
Pulp Fiction
Spirited Away
Catch 22 (this is from 1970, so perhaps belongs to the other list)
Apartment Zero
The Commitments
Kelly's Heroes
Birdman
The Killing of A Chinese Bookie
The Blues Brothers
The Conversation
Jaws
Before The Rain
Do The Right Thing
Terminator 2
Day Of The Dead (1985)

Thank you for suggesting. I've put your suggestion to the list. :D
Just check, if the release dates fit. Many productions had reboots in later times. I've taken the most widely known (think so) popular picks.

About Into the Wild:
It has a fascinating story that caught me from the beginning and changed my way of seeing life, the last phrase that Christopher writes in his wood is one of the quotes that has most marked my life, I learned to appreciate small pleasures of life, the kindness of people and it's still an incredibly directed and interpretated movie.

Thank you for updating the title of your list. I updated the title of this thread accordingly.
The capitalization tool works fine most of the time. Unfortunately, it does not handle acronyms or initialisms properly.
