Your own personal ten "Greatest Movies"

[McTeague]

At Land (Maya Deren, 1944)

I thought I was crazy for liking At Land a little more than Meshes! I was like "I must revisit those two, because that first impression seems too crazy", but I feel kinda validated now!

A few personal favorites:

GONE WITH THE WIND/39
THE WIZARD OF OZ/39
GREAT EXPECTATIONS/47
SINGIN` IN THE RAIN/52
SOCIAL NETWORK/10
THE GODFATHER (trilogy I, II, III)
A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE/51
A PLACE IN THE SUN/51

[McTeague]

Recently I've decided that Wilder's "The Apartment" really belongs in my Top 10. Before that I had a solid Top 8 and different films I considered for the last two spots, but now I think and feel TA is really as rock-solid in my love for my Top 10 as the rest. I'm also considering I like Offret even more than I thought so I've moved it up one spot, and sometimes I think it actually should be my #1. So now it would be:

1- Tokyo Story or Magnificent Ambersons
2- Magnificent Ambersons or Tokyo Story
3- The Searchers
4- Offret
5- The Philadelphia Story
6- The Leopard
7- Gone with the Wind
8- Porco Rosso
9- The Apartment
10- .... Something between Madame de, Children of Paradise or The Passion of Joan of Arc.

I cheated, but I seriously could not pick. And I shit you not about Borat. I thought that being 16, I'm allowed to make liberties and replace Vertigo or Potemkin with Borat.

At 16 it's a liberty. At 26 it's a duty.
