In no particular order:
The Shawshank Redemption
Toy Story 3
Armageddon
Schindler's List
Titanic
Avatar
Terminator 2
ET
Superman (The original with Christopher Reeve - Director's Cut)
Star Wars (A New Hope)
Other films that should make that list really are: Ed Wood, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, Eyes Wide Shut, The Shining, Star Trek 8: First Contact + many other Steven Spielberg films such as Duel/Jaws/Saving Private Ryan etc. quite a few Tarantino movies too: Inglorious Basterds, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill 1 & 2 and Reservoir Dogs. Lastly another few I would highly recommend from 2010 are Ben Affleck's "The Town" and Mike Leigh's "Another Year". Should win big at the Oscars along with Toy Story 3 if you ask me. They will probably win in minor categories though. :-(

My top 10 can really change at any time with different films occupying different slots but for now these are them.
Rebuild Of Evangelion 1.11 (You Are (Not) Alone)
The original series Neon Genesis Evangelion has had such a huge impact on my life. It developed my passion for anime/manga, it had a hand in me choosing to develop my creative writing and many other things. This is the first in the new series of films and it does a fantastic job of retelling this part of the story and adding new areas of intrigue.
Rebuild Of Evangelion 2.22 (You Can (Not) Advance)
The first film sets the stage and this one develops it and takes it in a whole new direction. Everything about it is fantastic from the action sequences through to the characters.
Star Trek: First Contact
In my eyes the best Star Trek film.
The Matrix
I love all the Matrix films but for me this is still the best one. It was an intriguing concept back then and still is, the film and its effects still hold up today. It's also responsible for part of my interest in anime.
The Wall
Although Meat Loaf has been and always will be my favourite musician it was Pink Floyd and The Wall which helped develop a lot of my passion for music. The Wall is my first taste of a concept album and the film is an experience for any music lover.
Casino
Not much I can say here, just my favourite mob film hands down.
End Of Evangelion
This is the film that marked the end of the original series. Again... it's an experience.
How To Train Your Dragon
I watched this the other week and it very quickly became one of my favourite films. It's funny, clever, charming. It's perfect for children and adults and is just all over fantastic.
Young Frankenstein
From start to finish it's hilarious, one of the best comedy movies of all time.
Milennium Actress
You could probably replace this with any film by Satoshi Kon really. Millennium Actress is an emotionally provoking movie about an aging actresses life as she grew up making movies in Japan. Follow her through her youth to old age as she talks about her life, love and watch as reality and fantasy unite to create a very unique tale. Seriously, forget the film is animated and just watch it. If you watch any film on this list I'd advise this one just so you can see how powerful anime can be.
