Okay, mine, in no particular order:
-The Exorcist
-Cleopatra (with Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor)
-Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (starring same actors)
-It's A Wonderful Life
-An Affair to Remember (with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr)
-When Harry Met Sally (as jackbutter rolls eyes...lol)
-The Devil's Advocate
-Gone With The Wind
-The Talented Mr. Ripley (with Matt Damon and Gwenyth Paltrow)
-An Officer And A Gentleman (with Richard Gere and Deborah Winger)
I *love* The Matrix too, couldn't squeeze it into my top ten though 😢

I forgot Vanilla Sky! Can we change the list number of movies to 10 1/2? 🙂
Jackbutter, how can I earn one more star?
Good list Twinkee--the movie you're thinking of by the way is Forrest Gump.

1) Full Metal Jacket
2) The Shining

Parallex- I haven't seen a single movie on your list
I've seen parts of Rocky but i get it confused with scenes from the numerous Rambo movies. And i'll eventually get around to seeing Apocolypse Now
A really good movie is by the master of comedy Mel Brooks, a remake of an old movie, To Be Or Not To Be, set in Hitler's Germany. Absolutely hilarious I recommend it to everyone.
I've never seen any of your movies, either Parallax. But I would be willing to bet you have good taste, so perhaps one of these days I'll give them a try.
As a side note, everyone freaks out and has a coronary when they find out I've never seen one full episode of the Simpsons, and I've never seen "Rocky" or "Independence Day".
sharing is fun. lol
OMG! Never seen the Simpsons? How socially unstable unacceptable!! Now I'm going to HAVE to convince you that you are missing the greatest show one earth.
Forrest Gump :!:!:!:!:!
Some like it hot
Sense and sensibility
The Godfather :!:!:!:!:!
Casablanca
Star War
Cleopatra
Dangerous Liasons
Sorry about that-I wanted to mark them with stars-I don't really know the codes for the faces and other symbols
ok these are mine
Matrix
Life is a house
Lord of the rings
Gladiator
Braveheart
Meet the parents
Starwars: return of the jedi
Princess Bride
Training Day
Kingpin
I've seen everything on your list ays0n, but Star Wars: Return of The Jedi (actually I went to see that in a movie theater, if it's the one I'm thinking of I was fourteen or something at the time, anyway I was there with my first "serious" boyfriend, and we didn't do much watching of the movie. lol, don't worry, there were like three other people down at the front so we weren't disturbing anyone...but anyway, all I remember is loud music (thankfully) and sharing the seat with him. LOL!)...I also haven't seen Kingpin or Life as a House. Wanted to, though 🙂
Bella, good list!
Phoenix,thx! Have you been to see Quills?
Oh-it slipped my mind-but Minority Report is as revolutionary as Matrix.Spielberg has outdone himself,don't you think?
bella- I have seen Quills and it was an excellent movie. Almost surreal, especially interesting from a writer's standpoint.
And I love Minority Report, though not as much as Matrix. I'm going to have to read the original science fiction short story of it one of these days.
i forgot to put that.. damn... exchange my kingpin with minority report...
there you go, i think thats it
