As Zia pointed out, these lists are our favorites and not necessarily "the best". With that in mind, here is my list:

10. Some Came Running - Frank Sinatra teams with Dean Martin in this gritty and stylish story of hypocrisy.

9. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance - Its John Wayne at his macho best, James Stewart in a typical "do-gooder" role, Vera Miles as the love interest of both men and Lee Marvin at his meanest. Its a western, but its REALLY a love story.

8. The Thing (1951) - A small group of people battle something from out of this world at the North Pole. The dialogue is quick paced and expertly delivered and the music score (by Dmitri Tomkin) adds to the feeling of isolation and freezing cold.

7. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof - Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor are electric, and the insight into this family's dysfunction is superb. Raw emotion!

6. The Green Mile - A few wonderful stories wrapped up into one, I can't get enough of this Stephen King story. Michael Clarke Duncan's portrayal of John Coffey was superb!

5. The Day the Earth Stood Still - Superb sci-fi flick "with a message". Wonderful acting and suspense filled.

4. The Godfather - Haunting study of Family and family. Top-notch cast and acting and the story ain't too shabby either.

3. Casablanca - The best love story filmed and its Bogey at his best. What more need be said?

2. King Kong (1933) - Its really a love story ("'twas beauty who killed the beast") and it was way ahead of its time with its effects. The dialogue is dated, but the story is forever.

1. Field of Dreams - Its about baseball, its about redemption and second chances, its about love. Its about my favorite all-time movie, and the ending ALWAYS gets me!!

That is what makes them special because they have to make the top ten.

Not top 25, 50, 100 or 200 IT IS THE TOP TEN!

Ten prize spots and only ten spots. Not good, better, best.
and like SC said FAVORITE not best.

The way I look at this is to say if I was going away for a long time,to prison say and I could only take ten films with me, which ones would I take with me. lol

That's not the BEST analogy I would give lol

10 favorite movies might be action/drama

10 movies to jail would be SOMETHING ELSE lol
