In looking through old movie titles, I found about 30 that I wanted to include. So I tried to eliminate movies that I saw with family or friends, which were more "special" to one of the other people than they were to me. This would include movies like "The Odd Couple," "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "The Last Picture Show," "Blazing Saddles," "Amadeus" and (pick one of the baseball films) "Field of Dreams" or "Bull Durham."
And I tried to eliminate movies which primarily had "important" themes, such as "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner" and "Milk" and "Philadelphia."
Here are 10 of my remaining favorites of all-time, listed by Year of Release:
1939: The Wizard of Oz
1967: Camelot
1967: The Graduate
1969: Midnight Cowboy
1969: Women in Love
1987: Moonstruck
2001: A Beautiful Mind
2005: Brokeback Mountain
2013: Nebraska
2014: The Grand Budapest Hotel
