As Armond White said on his 2012 Sight & Sound ballot: "Movies don’t change but we do."
Here's my best attempt at a top ten, over two years after my last:
A.I. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (Steven Spielberg, 2001) IN A LONELY PLACE (Nicholas Ray, 1950) JLG/JLG (Jean-Luc Godard, 1994) LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (David Lean, 1962) MADE IN U.S.A. (Jean-Luc Godard, 1966) METROPOLIS (Fritz Lang, 1927) THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER (Charles Laughton, 1955) OPERA (Dario Argento, 1987) REAR WINDOW (Alfred Hitchcock, 1954) TOUT VA BIEN (Jean-Luc Godard, 1972)
Who knows what this list will look like if and when I update it 2 or 3 years down the line.
Most of my top 20 - 50 films earn their place through a combination of 1) My view of it's greatness, and 2) Re-watch-ability. Too many ties in the rankings, there was some overflow to the top 10.
1) The Departed 2) Braveheart 3) Jaws 4) The Godfather: Part II 5) Dazed and Confused Good Will Hunting The Sandlot Children of Men Animal House 10) The Prestige Eternal Sunshine... Taxi Driver
