Our universe is cool but Joss's verse is cooler.

Well, I try. I watch movies a LOT. Kinda goes hand in hand with being a film student.

And damn, but that is one AWESOME sig.

Having seen a lot of these types of lists (even on this board) it can be a tricky question, as people have pointed out.
Some people get confused between 'best' and 'favourite' movies. Serenity is one of my favourite movies but it wouldn't be in my ten best.

To me a favourite movie can be a badly directed, badly acted, piece of go-se with 'cheese' dripping off of it. But if it has something that holds a special place in your heart, then it becomes a favourite.
For best movie, to me, you would have to be more technical and less emotional about it.

Also as people have stated tastes are ever changing. In another six months this list might have some changes to it.

Anyway ten 'best' films in no order:

LOTR Trilogy
Goodfellas
Hero
Shaun Of The Dead/Hot Fuzz
Godfather Trilogy (okay maybe not 3)
The Usual Suspects
Close Encounters Of The 3rd Kind
Shawshank Redemption
Leon
Batman Begins

Proof I can't count as that is more than ten, but there you go.

The movie or the miniseries? Just curious; I've never seen the Lynch version.

Nah, probably not the best move EVER, but I don't know what that would be.

I'll work with the notion that "best" means "favourite", and not necessarily "superb acting/directing/story/etc.etc.etc".

In no special order:

Serenity
Platoon
Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Aliens
Local Hero
Planet of the Apes (original!)
Pitch Black
Shaun of the Dead
The Sting
Master and Commander
Young Frankenstein
The Maltese Falcon

1. The Princess Bride
2. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
3. Serenity
4. Natural Born Killers
5. Pulp Fiction
6. Wild at Heart
7. Highlander
8. The Outlaw Josie Wales
9. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
10. Fight Club

I don't know that if I went back and watched all these movies again, they would all hold up, but they each had a big impact on my life, at the time.

The Movie (The David Lynch version not the Alan Smithee hack)
The books are all well worth reading too.
