What are your top ten favorite films?

A Top Ten list is obviously subjective, but here's my list of favourite films. The film at number 1 is my all-time favourite, numbers 2-10 are in no particular order:

The Great Escape - my all-time favourite film (and possibly not what you'd have guessed).
Moonstruck - Cher at her Oscar-winning best.
The History Boys - simply brilliant.
Top Gun/Top Gun: Maverick - fast jets, quotable dialogue and Goose.
Love Actually - such a clever way of telling stories about love in its many forms. And Colin Firth.
Grease - I remember going with Mum and my sister way back in 1979 to our local cinema, The Unit Four. In fact, I think we went to see it several times that summer. It was only years later that I realised some of the lyrics were totally unsuitable for a pre-teen to be singing.
Saturday Night Fever - John Travolta in that white suit.
Dead Poets Society - Who can forget that final scene? "Oh Captain! My Captain!" (I saw this in the cinema on my RAF station in Germany - all rise for the National Anthem before the film began).
White Christmas - completely heartwarming.
Apollo 13 - failure is not an option.
