I presume you are not asking about martial arts movies. Because I frankly don't have so many favorites and don't even remember the names of many of those movies I watched on TV. These are my favorite 10 movies:
The top three in strict order, the rest not so rigid.
1. Apocalypse Now - Redux 2. Shawshank Redemption 3. Godfather part 1/2 4. Raging Bull 5. American Beauty 6. Taxi Driver 7. Requiem for a Dream 8. Vertigo 9. Dead Man 10. Matrix part1
