Now, I have more than 10.
But I was musing. What if I could only have 10? What would I keep?
Here is what I came up with in no particular order:
Pride and Predjudice (BBC Version)

Pride and Predjudice (BBC Version)
Price and Prejudice is just a classic, and the BBC version is spectacular. Its the depth of character that kills me from Mr. Bingly to Lizzy's mother. NOT RATED.
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Indiana Jones. Sparked me to become a Archeological / Church Historian. Nuff said. RATED PG.
Nicholas Nickleby (Recent productiion with Jamie Bell, Alan Cumming, Anne Hathaway, Christopher Plumer) RATED PG.
Dicken's is simply awesome. This particular production is outstanding. You can't watch it in parts, you have to watch it all the way throught o get the "affect" it creates at the end. I can never make it through Nicholas' deep devotion to Smike, and then Smike dies. Nicholas' loyalty and firendship - wow! - I wish I were like him.
A Christmas Carol (Any of them, Sim, Finney, Scott, Stewart)
Repentance. I love this story. Hey, it Dicken's again! RATED G
The Matrix
The blue pill or the red pill? Exceedingly well thought out. Exceedingly unique. Nothing in this genre really comes close....except for Equilibrium... RATED R (Violence and Language)
Equilibrium
If you haven't seen this, and like sci-fi, you are missing out. When Scott and I watch this the first time, we were blown out of our seats. It was a sleeper at the movies, but it not only secures action, and sci-fi, but in a really good storyline that I simply haven't come across before. RATED R (Violence)
A Few Good Men
If you don't like this film, well, you can't handle the truth! What can you say about this - though Tom Cruise is a whck job in real life, this was, In my humble opinion, his best role outside of the Last Samurai (which somehwat ties this one but I would watch this before that). RATED R (Violence and Language)
Batman Begins
Outstanding. Bst Comic movie made yet. I think it trumps Spiderman I & II, Superan Returns, Fantastic Four, Punisher, etc. Storyline, edgy, dark knight stuff. RATED PG-13 (Violence and some language)
Galaxy Quest
The only comedy in the bunch. A sppof on Trek, this was so funny, and is so funny, I can't drink water before watching it. RATED PG (Language)
Braveheart
Best thing Mel ever made. Classic from start to finish. RATED R (Lots of war Violence)
Now I have a few others that are runners up. But I could be quite content in letting Star Wars take a back seat, Groundhog Day, Armageddon, Independence Day, The Game, Finding Nemo, Shrek 1 & 2, and a few others go. I thinkt he above list would keep me cinematically content.
