What Films do you Rate as 10's?
« on: Feb 18, 2012, 10:21:44 PM »
Since we have several people not wanting to give the last movie they just saw a 10, let's talk about 10's.  What films are 10's in your opinion?  They don't even have to be films you really love, if it is possible to rate a film a 10 and not like it personally.

Dr. Strangelove

Rear Window. 

Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet. 

The Princess Bride.

The Producers.

Inglorious Basterds.

For a Few Dollars More.

I could probably name 50 movies at this level. It's hard for a movie to be perfect but it does happen. Anyway, some that peeps missed:

Citizen Kane (obviously but watch Roger Ebert's commentary on it; it'll give you new appreciation for it)
To Kill A Mockingbird
Short Cuts
Nashville
M*A*S*H (NOT THE TV SHOW >:( )
Bull Durham
Raging Bull
The Lives of Others
Rear Window
Rope(!)
Twelve Angry Men

...crap, maybe I could name more than 50...

It's such a cliche but it has a great collection of actors and music. The Marlboro theme rocks.

A lot of the ones I would have named were already mentioned. What I'd add:

The Big Lebowski
Trainspotting
There Will Be Blood

All I can think of for now. I've got about a dozen in my head I'd name 9s, but not quite 10s.

I absolutely loved it. I can see why some folks might not care for it.
