No particular order neither but here are ten movies I really liked:

- The Godfather (the three of them but the first one is my favorite, I watched it about 23 times)
- Goodfellas
- Casino
- Scarface (rather funny but I like it)
- High Roller: The Stu Ungar Story
- Hurricane
- Carlito's Way
- Donnie Brasco
- Juice
- Gang Related

I just seen God Father part I, again. What a Brilliant movie. Love Brando and Al Pacino there. Just awesome.

Not to mention John Cazale, an actor with an unbeatable track record. Before he passed away he starred in only five movies. Five masterpieces.

- The Godfather
- The Conversation
- The Godfather, part II
- Dog Day Afternoon
- Deer Hunter

Great lists, everyone. I like the classics you all have named.
Absolutely agree about John Cazale. He was so subtle in the Godfather movies that I fear he's not properly appreciated.

Godfather I and II
Goodfellas
The Searchers

Then, everything else comes in at a different level.

Wizard of Oz
Wings of Desire
Fargo
Taxi Driver
Casablanca
Gone With the Wind
