    Ten? This has been a long lifetime, a lot of movies. The Sting and The Godfather would have to be on there. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid most likely, though it may not make the final cut. Well, two down for sure. Eight more to come at some point.

    I saw American Graffiti for the first time as a senior in high school. That's probably on the list, too.

    Spirited Away
    The Seven Samurai
    Casablanca
    Godfather II
    Diva
    The General
    Goldfinger
