inspired by this thread.

List the movies you feel would get a 10/10 in your book, in any order. They all gets 10s right? So NOT your "top-ten" movies, and no mini-series allowed.

For me:
Braveheart
Saving Private Ryan
The Prince of Egypt (honestly, this film is amazing)
Big Fish
Fight Club
American Beauty
Forrest Gump
Swingers (I doubt that'll come up again)
The Shawshank Redemption
Schindler's List
Philadelphia
American History X

There's probably alot more (I'm not picky) but I'd have to see them again before giving them a 10...most of my 10s end up being movies that you don't likely watch more than 1-2 times a year, 'cause of the seriousness.

American Beauty
Leon (The Professional)
Fight Club

That's about it. There are numerous great movies out there, many 8s &amp; 9s... also many 1s &amp; 2s that I enjoy despite them being atrocious films (Caddyshack 2, Bio-Dome, etc). But the true 10s to me are few &amp; far between

Edit: actually, why don't I add two more - Predator &amp; Full Metal Jacket
