It seems everyone is posting their all-time favourite films in some sort of Rob Gordon-esque interwebs flash mob. So here are mine.
10 Batman Begins
9 Pulp Fiction
8 Dont Look Back
7 Walk the Line
6 There Will Be Blood
5 Glory
4 No Country For Old Men
3 High Fidelity
2 Empire Strikes Back
1 Saving Private Ryan

Now, I love Saving Private Ryan for the realistic portrayal of war, amazing acting, that little shake thing the camera does whenever an explosion happens, the bit where the camera man just runs up the beach, how its off-colour, the perfect orchestral score and the scene where Tom Hanks has a little bit of alone time and weeps at the loss of one of his men.

Sometimes though, I really can't tell which is better. The opening sequence of Saving Private Ryan on Omaha Beach found here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFQIuF590B4

or the final scene of Glory where HERE BE SPOILERS! Lt. Cole dies and the whole 54th charge the fort, found here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2c_BvVBd-Q&feature=related and www.youtube.com/watch?v=rawwMraLLl4&feature=related END SPOILERS!

I will always remember my first viewing of Saving Private Ryan though, as I happened to be eating fish and chips with plenty of tomato ketchup the moment the guy with his intestines hanging out appeared on screen. Still managed to hold it in though.

Length? Well over 22 hours worth of digital goodness there
