There's some very questionable choices on this thread lot's are personal preference obviously.
But in no particular order.
I am basing these on story and acting.
Saving private Ryan.
The elephant Man.
Seven samurai.
The third man.
Philadelphia.
And my own personal favourite grosse point blank.

Don't get me started, I used to be a film critic. Ergo I can ramble for hours about this.
My top ten, however, are:
The Ruling Class
A Canterbury Tale

The Devil Rides Out
Cabaret
What's Up Doc
I Start Counting
Inserts
Dead Of Night (1945)
Wait Until Dark
Plus about a thousand others.

If I offered you twenty thousand pounds for every dot that stopped, would you really, old man, tell me to keep my money, or would you calculate how many dots you could afford to spare? Free of income tax, old man. Free of income tax!"

16. Farewell, My Lovely (1975)
Marlowe: "This past spring was the first that I felt tired and realized I was growing old. Maybe it was the rotten weather we'd had in L.A. Maybe the rotten cases I'd had. Mostly chasing a few missing husbands and then chasing their wives once I found them, in order to get paid. Or maybe it was just the plain fact that I AM tired and growing old." |

19. The Hill (1965)
Sean Connery's finest film. Superb acting from everyone. Very un-PC, so never shown on TV.
RSM Bert Wilson: "Then there's the Commandant. The Commandant signs bits of paper. He'd sign his own death warrant if I gave it to him."
Trooper Joe Roberts: "We're all doing time - even the screws..." |

20. The Asphalt Jungle (1950)
a stunning early role for Marilyn Monroe, as a sugar baby to a wealthy old lawyer.
Doc Riedenschneider: "Experience has taught me never to trust a policeman. Just when you think one's all right, he turns legit." |

Re: Casablanca, here are the plots that can be traced back in some shape or form to Aristotle in ancient Greece.
1. Cinderella. Rick, an expat Yank bar-owner in wartime Morocco, begins as a d*unken cynic but his 'essential goodness' is at last celebrated.
2. Achilles. Like the Greek warrior, the proud, 'fatally flawed' Rick - once a doer of great deeds - spends most of the story sulking in his tent. He is forced into selfless action only for the sake of the refugee Elsa, the woman he loves.
3. Faust. Rick's good looks, fame and wealth are Faustian and gratuitous. Inevitably, Rick's debt is called in and he gives up his business, his girl and everything he has lived for.
4. Tristan. Manly Rick (Tristan) loves and is loved by sultry Elsa (Isolde) but she is already married to wimpish Victor Lazlo (King Mark).
5. Circe, or 'The Spider and the Fly.' Elsa's wiles entice Rick into her service only to destroy him.
6. Romeo and Juliet. Once, in Paris, Rick and Elsa loved and lost each other. Here, in Morocco, they get back together but are finally parted again.
7. In a concrete sense the 'Gift Taken Away' plot is a Letter of Transit which would enable Rick to go back to America but which he is forced to give up to Lazlo. More symbolically, the gift is of personal happiness and is sacrificed to political necessity, since to save Lazlo is to save the world for democracy.
Some have identified a further two standard plots in Casablanca:-
8. 'The Irrepressible Hero' is Rick personified.
There is also a ninth archetypical story-line, 'The Wandering Jew.' Rick is, of course, the persecuted traveller who will never return home.
Thus, instead of seven, (or eight or nine...) stories, there is only one, and it is called Casablanca !

Yes it's a great film, not sure if it would get made today very intense tho, even in black and white you can still feel the searing heat of the sun as he is forced over and over again. |

Jaws - saw it as a kid, it scared me (even Quint character scared me as much as the shark) excited me and in the end I had a thrill ride of emotions, over that film.
I have three film posters up in my front room.
Jaws
The Warriors
Streets of Fire
Each has had an effect on me |
