I agree with some but I have a few Additions.

Primal Fear (Ed Norton is Great in this movie)

ET - Sorry I still love this movie

Superman - I can watch it over and over

Pay it Forward

American History X

Shawshank

TopGun

Godfather

Rainman

Braveheart

Runner Up - My Big Fat Greek Wedding

It isn't good enough for the top 10, but it ranks high on my list since it hits so close to home.

DANCEdeep: sorry i didn't answer your q before... i've been so busy with work i can't handle reality.

I despise TV (i don't even own one) but i loooove movies.

I think it comes back to finances - movies make money by getting your ticket... so movies have are resolute experiences - whereas TV makes money through ads... so their goal is to keep you watching and watching... ideally you'd be a hapless zombie just glued to the couch. so they do these crazy psychological things to keep you watching - like end every show without resolution, so you're left emotionally hanging... and while they do that they advertise for the next one, which promises resolutiong for you... but it never comes. so you're sitting there like an idiot for 3 hours and leave feeling wholly unsatisfied.

Also, the low light CRT screen of the tv induces alpha brainstates (see eeg), which is a state associated with relaxation and specifically, "non thinking". Film induces the beta rhythm, by alternating patterns of light and dark, which is a more active brainstate. In other words, they don't call it the idiot box for nuffin :)

:) that's cool that you've seen it! No one seems to have seen Terry Gilliam's Brazil besides me and a friend of mine, unless you're a film major or close to it. The ending totally disturbed me...omg.
