a great movie to me is one I can watch once a year, year after year, and not get bored by it ... one that comes to mind is Boogie Nights - I just watched it again ... another is the Godfather II ( a true work of art)

Dunno if I have a top 10 ... another hallmark of a great movie are memorable quotes. A movie can be a box office hit but with no lasting quotes - like Avatar.

Some good ones there. Yes - Blue Velvet is a good movie.
I like 'unique' stand alone movies.
Make me think of "Betty Blue"

It doesn't have to be a 'great' movie or 'box office hit'
- just your personal choice of what 'you' like the most.
