[Tulse Luper]

Not necessarily top ten, but some more recent films that require notice:

Danny Boyle -Millions

Gareth Edwards - Monsters (After the recent pair of turds, Sykline and Battle Los Angeles, this was an Excellent invasion movie.)

Bela Tar - Werckmeister Harmonies

Gil Kenan - City of Ember

Tomas Alfredson - Let The Right One (In Låt den rätte komma) [And if you don't want to read the subtitles of the original, the English remake is nearly as good. It's called Let Me In. These are two of the best modern vampire movies.]

Dave McKean - MirrorMask (If you have young children, sit and watch this with them. It's much better than Disney's fodder.)

Joel and Ethan Coen - No Country For Old Men

Seven Samurai
Yojimbo
Patton
A Clockwork Orange

Lonesome Dove
( just about any John Wayne movie is good, same applies to W.C. Fields)
Finding Private Ryan
Forrest Gump

Let the Right one In is awesome.... I highly recommend watching subtitled foreign films. There are many gems out there!

Miller's Crossing.
Super Troopers
Law Abiding Citizen

Sorry for the short lists, but a lot of them are already covered, and it's hard to remember while looking at other's lists. I also agree on what Sir Newton said, rewatch value is a must.
