Start with one of my fav directors right now, Christopher Nolan...

if not many, just stick with 5-10.

1. Interstellar
2. The Dark Knight
3. The Dark Knight Rises
4. Inception
5. The Prestige (thought about putting this at #4)
6. Dunkirk
7. Memento
8. Insomnia
9. Batman Begins
10. Tenet

Looking forward to Oppenheimer. Cillian Murphy is a great actor and with Nolan at the helm and a supporting role from Matt Damon, this could be really good.
 
James Wan.

1. Conjuring 2
2. Conjuring
3. Saw
4. Indisious
5. Furious 7
6. Insidious 2
7. Death Sentence
8. Aquaman
9. Malignant
10 Dead Silence

Top 3 stand out as really good, the rest are meh to really bad.

7 & 8 could be interchangeable as well as 9 and 10.

I actually did work myself up to watch The Godfather movies when they were last on Netflix, but I shit you fucking not. They got removed like the day or two before I went to watch. I specifically remember getting on and looking for them, not finding them, then googled it and found out that they just recently came off. Sucked. I am not going to pay to watch and that appears to be the only way right now.

As for Schindlers List, it's been on my list the last few years, when I became a Ray Finnes fan. He was absolutely fantastic in The Grand Budapest Hotel. Amazing movie. Which reminds me that I need to watch Andersons newest film.

Goodfellas is my all time favorite. I will never tire of it and if it happens to be on when I walk in a room I will not get anything done for the next 2-3 hours.

I would put The Abyss up there too.
 
David Fincher

On any given day, I could switch the top 3 of these around...

1. Se7en
2. Gone Girl
3. The Social Network
4. Fight Club
5. Zodiac
6. Panic Room
7. Curious Case of Benjamin Button - I actually didn't like this at all. The whole premise of the story bothered me.

Yeah, I should have just put those on there as I see for Tarantino. I would have had Abyss and then Avatar after that. They are good, though not quite on the level with the other films.

That's how I am with A Few Good Men. I kid you not, I can almost quote the whole movie. My family actually thinks it is funny and they make all sorts of comments 'uh oh, look what's on' - they turn it on, I start quoting, they start laughing lol.

I am only only on like the 3... maybe 4 or 5 hundred viewing of AFGM. So good.

No love for Cape Fear? I thought DeNiro and Nolte were excellent in that movie.

Fun fact, I have actually owned Raging Bull for about 10-15 years (on dvd) and have never watched it. It might even still be in the plastic wrap.

I like Cape Fear. Just not in my top 10 Scorsese films.
