Sorry but it was difficult enough trying to get it down to 20 never mind 10.
Use of the half mark is a bit of a cheat imo so I would round down Shawshank / A.H.X / Die Hard and round up Pulp Fiction.
The only one I would really differ with is True Romance 9/10
I can't do a top ten, never could as there are hundreds of stand out films IMO that would all be interchangeable in the top 10. But below are some notable mentions that i've either revisited recently or just think are ace
12 Angry Men
Chasing Amy
Dogma
Dark Knight
Toy Story
LA Confidential
The Matrix (only the original, not keen on the others but this one was a specticale when released)
Trainspotting
What's that lot worth on the Hartiganometer then James ??? lol
P.S sorry to upset any fans of the Trilogy of Jackson but LOTR 1 bored me so much i never even watched the other 2. It sucked big time and although i've heard the others are better i still can't bring myself to watch them. I'm going to stick to my wonderful memories of the literary masterpiece and Bypass the endeavours of Mr Jackson and his (Phrase Stolen form Kevin Smith Alert) Movies about Walking
as for mr Hartigans scores of my list, its pretty good although i think Avatar deserves more than a 4 ok its probably not the greatest film of all time but to watch it at the cinema in 3d was amazing id never seen anything like it and likewise with the blu ray -definatly the best picture/sound quality blu ray out there! ...
also good to see TRUE ROMANCE on so many peoples lists (probably my fav film to be honest) such an underrated little gem! the scene between Christopher Walken/Dennis Hopper in the trailor has to be the greatest scene from any movie of all time!!
Here's my top ten comedies -
The Big Lebowski (1998 Joel & Ethan Coen)
Withnail & I (1987 Bruce Robinson)
This Is Spinal Tap (1984 Rob Reiner)
Monty Python And The Holy Grail / Life of Brian (1975/79 Terry Jones / Terry Gilliam)
Repo Man (1984 Alex Cox)
Young Frankenstein (1974 Mel Brooks)
Up In Smoke (1978 Lou Adler)
South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut (1999 Trey Parker)
Adaptation (2002 Spike Jonze)
Harold And Maude (1971 Hal Ashby)
ok movie question -- what film is the line 'IM YOUR HUCKLEBERRY'.... from?? watched this film at the weekend such a cool film! surprised I aint seen it yet on any of the lists!
