Blimey, this is almost impossible - almost cruel, actually. Like Sophie's Choice, but for your movie collection...
Here are 10, based solely on watchability, not (as is obvious when you go down the list) artistic merit. In no particular order.and subject to change within nanoseconds:
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Goldfinger (today's Bond of choice - could be just about any. Apart from Moonraker. Or View to a Kill)
Pulp Fiction
The Empire Strikes Back
The Big Lebowski (today's Coen Bros choice - could be just about any. Apart from The Ladykillers).
Grosse Point Blank
Moulin Rouge
It's a Wonderful Life
The Philadelphia Story/High Society (same story/script...but how can you choose between Frank Sinatra and Cary Grant?)
Goodfellas
Grosse point blank reminds me, I should have had High Fidelity on my list!

fr0g:dominic dawes:Wow. I never thought I'd see a great Kubrick film (2001: A Space Odyssey) sat next to a really dreadful parody of a Kubrick film (AI) on a best films list
I loved AI. In fact I have probably watched it more times than any other film apart from Pi.
It's obviously not a tour de force in filmmaking, but it had the necessary ingredient for me...watchability.
I also loved Daredevil with Ben Affleck!
The great thing about these forums, so many different views. I bought AI on dvd - thinking it has to be decent - should have realised something was up as it cost £2.99. Anyway, after struggling through it, it went straight in the bin. One of the worst films I've ever sat through. Sci fi Pinocchio done really badly.

Do you have any recommendations, amer? Notes From A Scandal certainly had a couple of excellent performances in it - and was coincidentally set in the English Department of a secondary school. Are you familiar with this concept?
Steady on, chaps, it's all going a bit Showgirls
... which reminds me... 'Worst films ever' thread coming up soon!

I bought Pulp fiction not too long ago for 2.99 in euros! That's about 2 pounds for a disc containing a classic in pristine quality! Such a bargain!

I'm not really a film buff. So most of the films I like tend to be from another era. My top ten are as follows:
Carry On Henry
The Battle of Britain
Brief Encounter
Ice Cold in Alex
Ray
Top Gun
Ryan's Daughter
We Can Take It!
The Dam Busters
Madagascar ("Wave and smile, boys. . .wave and smile!")
I will probably change my mind a little later. . . .

In no particular order

garethwd:Im suprised that im the only one with american beauty in my list!
It just proves that we all like different stuff, we both picked Amelie but I went to see American Beauty when it first came out and I found it ok but so over rated (there was talk at the time that it was the greatest film ever made!).
