(Sounds like Apo had the reaction to these two that I had to The Color Purple *gag*.) Not on the list but better than the others, I like Groundhog Day, and, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Of the franchise movies, I've liked: the Matrix saga; the Lord of the Rings movies; the Bourne lot; and the Star Wars films. The Game of Thrones and True Blood episodes on HBO are kind of like these and equally good. Oh hell, throw in the I Claudius episodes from pbs while we're at it.

For a nail biter I'd go with Day of the Jackal (the original). For the best, surprisingly good adaption of a book to movie form I'd choose Steppenwolf.

There have been numerous little foreign movies we've enjoyed whose names are escaping me, along with plenty of other Hollywood films which will make me cringe when I remember them.
I guess I don't appreciate movies properly. I watch to be entertained, just as I eat to satisfy hunger. I love Steak, but sometimes, I really love a cheeseburger. I couldn't make a top ten list of foods, and only put the most decidant dishes on the list! Saying that Tacos outrank Hamburgers is just absurd. I love No Country for Old Men, but sometimes, Major League II is what I'm in the mood for. If i'm ranking movies, it must be according to the long-term satisfaction I can continue to draw from them, after repetition.
