*Listed as the greatest film by the greatest film director (Jean Renoir).

I warn you, I gave up trying to do greatest films lists a few months back, and this is merely my personal favorites, my old greatest film top ten list was more sophisticated.
(bit more than ten, in alphabetical order)

The Aviator (they may seem like blasphemy, but I think it's Marty Scorsese's best film)

Bringing Up Baby (Now why can't I meet someone like her?)

Dr. Strangelove (Perhaps the most vicious and darkest of all satires, with the greatest performance of the great Peter Sellers)

Ed Wood (Unlike the real Ed Wood's films, this is great fun, featuring in my opinion, this generation's finest actor's best performance)

8 1/2 (Fellin's Masterpiece, La Bella Confusione)

The Ladykillers (The original, with one of the master actors of all time, a great dark farce)

Lawrence of Arabia (Beautiful, moving, incredibly entertaining)

Nashville (The ultimate ensemble film)

Pulp Fiction (The definitive film of a generation)

The Rules of the Game (a masterpiece! It's my Lord of the Rings)

The Seventh Seal (I've always looked at is as the Wizard of Oz for us pretentious intellectuals)

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (Willy Wonka is my hero)
