Recently, I colleague of mine asked me about my favorite movies of all time… Since I hadn’t really thought about it, I decided to put some time into organizing my list. The list below represents my top 10 favorite movies. These are not necessarily the movies with the best screenplays, or the best cinematography, or for that matter, the best commercial success. The movies in my list are those that have had the greatest impact on me. The key criterion in identifying my list: movies that I’ve enjoyed watching more than once (many of these I have seen at least five times).
1. Braveheart
2. Patton
3. Gladiator
4. Signs
5. Star Wars
6. Wizard of Oz
7. Saving Private Ryan
8. Die Hard
9. Back to the Future
10. Road Trip
Just in case you wanted to know, these are my second 10 favorites:
11. Princess Bride
12. Happy Gilmore
13. Patriot
14. Crash
15. Alien
16. Amadeus
17. Caddyshack
18. Platoon
19. The Professional
20. Raiders of the Lost Ark
