So many great movies, as a movie buff it's hard making a top 10 but I do have a 'top 20' panned out I always know to give when asked. I'll try 10 though.

The Shawshank Redemption
Pulp Fiction
Training Day
25th Hour
The Godfather
Terminator 2: Judgment Day
Snatch
Fight Club
Goodfellas
Reservoir Dogs

Unlucky to miss the 10:

Donnie Darko
Taxi Driver
12 Angry Men
American History X
To Kill A Mockingbird
Unbreakable
Carlito's Way
Heat

Ahhh the list goes on. Full list of 20 here:
