"You wanna be a genius, it's easy. All you gotta say is, everything stinks. Then you're never wrong."

The Burgomaster

Some of these drop in and out of my top 10 occasionally depending on my mood . . . but this list is reasonably accurate as of today (only the first two are in order):

* THE GODFATHER
* THE GODFATHER, PART II
* A CLOCKWORK ORANGE
* THE FRENCH CONNECTION
* TAXI DRIVER
* DELIVERANCE
* FIDDLER ON THE ROOF
* OLIVER!
* THE WILD BUNCH
* THE HUSTLER

"Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone."

I have a very unconvential list.   :teddyr:  Though when it comes down to my favorite movies, I take into consider the following: 1) How much do I watch it  2) How much it impacted me  3) How much I enjoy it and 4) How good is it.
