My Filmviews tens
I rate all the movies I watch on the Internet Movie Database (IMDB). Only a few of those movie are awarded with a 10.
A movie will only receive a 10 from me if after watching it I have a “WOW!” feeling because it is so groundbreaking or strikes a chord with me. I’ll feel a personal connection with it.
The My Filmviews tens is the collection of movies (which I have also reviewed) that I’ve given a 10.
These currently are:
The Pianist
Goodfellas
Memento
The Great Dictator
District 9
Donnie Darko
Before Sunrise
ET the Extra-Terrestrial
Psycho
Alien
Mr.Nobody
Vertigo
Dumb and Dumber
Paprika
Léon
Old Boy
Grave of the Fireflies
Collapse
Black Swan

I’m very interested in your own favorite movies as I might not have watched them. It’s always nice to learn about other classics.
Love this list!
Thanks, I’ll be updating it as I go…
You’ve got some great films up here (glad you prefered Black Swan over King’s Speech). There are a number on here I will try and see.
Speaking of great films have you seen – Gone with the wind, All about eve, Whatever happened to baby Jane?, Spelllbound (the hitchcokc/dali thriller), Belle et Bete, and if you rate Groundhog Day you’ve got to like When Harry Met Sally, right?
Sorry if these films are too obvious…
Thanks! I have seen Gone With the Wind and All About Eve, which I thought were ok, but not really my taste. Still have to see most of the other ones you mention. When Harry Met Sally is a very good movie!
Some of my favourites: 12 Angry Men, Closer, Lost in Translation, Magnolia, The Lion King, The Shawshank Redemption; these are ones off the top of my mind.
I’m also a big fan of Lost in Translation, ShawShank and Magnolia. 12 Angry Men was good as well. It’s been ages since I’ve seen Lion King, but I liked it at the time. Haven’t seen Closer, but seeing that Natalie Portman is in it is a movie I might check out.
