Default Your Top 10 Favorite Movies of all Time

You can just name the movie or, like I'm doing, you can add a comment about it.

Casablanca – Ingrid Bergman!
De-Lovely – Cole Porter’s fascinating life and great music.
The Wizard of Lies – Mesmerizing layout of what Bernie Madoff got away with.
Gone With The Wind – When adjusted for monetary inflation, it is still the highest-grossing film in history.
Paddington – Aunt Lucy was so good to him when he was a cub.
Alvin and the Chipmunks – Favorite Christmas movie.
Ten Commandments – Let my people go.
Seabiscuit – Holy Lazarus!
The Big Country – Great score by Jerome Moross that was only one of two categories nominated for an Oscar, but didn’t win. Burl Ives won for supporting actor. None of the big stars (Gregory Peck, Jean Simmons, Charlton Heston, Charles Bickford, Chuck Connors) were even nominated. What a joke.
The Blues Brothers – I ran out of gas, I had a flat tire and didn't have enough money for cab fare, My tux didn't come back from the cleaners, an old friend came in from out of town, someone stole my car, there was an earthquake, a terrible flood, It wasn't my fault, I swear to God!

Looks like all my 11-20 picks have been mentioned by someone here except for The Shawshank Redemption and Of Mice and Men (1939). My wife doesn’t like the former because it’s a prison movie; she claims women don’t like that genre. I’m not sure about that.
