I did my homework and here are the results. I am giving them publicly even though the list could be used as proof that I am a drug fiend.
- Easy Rider- I've watched it too much. No, really. WAY too much.
- Dazed and Confused- Drink every time someone says 'man'.
- Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas- Yes, the book is better. So good that the film still makes the list.
- The Road Warrior- The reason I got my first mohawk.
- The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly- Just try to get that soundtrack out of your head.
- Tai Chi Master- I first viewed it as Twin Warriors and the fight choreography was beyond amazing. The Chinese print is better.
- Love and a .45- Guns, drugs, and I Ching quotations.
- A Clockwork Orange- Kubric made a lot of amazing films but this is the one that can never be unwatched.
- The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension- Rastafarian aliens, bubble wrap goggles, and a hero who is a scientist, neurosurgeon, and rock star.
- Fritz Lang's Metropolis- If they were to remake this today, they'd totally fuck it up.
- Pirates- For extra credit. This porn took adult entertainment to a whole new level and the sequel was almost as good.

Can't say I really enjoy any of the others on that list (haven't seen many of them), but I must chime in to say: Tai Chi Masters was an amazing movie.
I have never been able to make a list like this. I change my mind to often as to what I like. Not only that but to make a list of only 10 would be near impossible.
I have seen a few films that were not real great plot or story wise but because I like the look of the film I still have to add it to such a list. Ultra Violet and The Fountain.
3. i love both the book and the movie...
4. the inspiration for endless hours of torturing teachers
5. ennio morricone has some songs on the kill bill ii soundtrack that are haunting

me: disturbing.
