Lol! I realize that my taste is a bit sci-fi/fantasy specific. I realize that there are probably lots of movies that are much better from an objective standpoint, however these are the movies I personally enjoy watching the most.

What's crazy to me is that when you say Time Machine, you actually mean the horrible remake. Have you seen the original?

Spirit of the Beehive is my only Top 10 worthy film experience.

Other films to have come close (no order):
Magnolia
Baraka
Solaris
Persona
Devi
Badlands

If I wasn't being a picky bastard and chose some desert island disks:
Man Who Planted Trees
Stellet Licht
Only Yesterday
(maybe with a Chaplin [prob.Circus] and a Fred Astaire musical)

My top10 with explanations why I highlight them instead of so many other favorites I could:

Persona: My favorite from Bergman.
Zerkalo: My favorite from Tarkovski.
8½ - Otto e Mezzo: My favorite from Fellini.
Une femme est une femme: My favorite from Godard.
Sátántangó: My favorite movie of all time...
Werckmeister harmonies: ...but having only one movie from my favorite director Bela Tarr wouldn't be enough.
Solyaris: I'm not sure why this had so huge impact on me but it just makes me feel warm to even think about the movie and colours of it. Plus I almost added third movie from Tarr (Damnation) but it would've been overkill and Solyaris was first replacement that came to mind.
Bin-jip (3-Iron): My favorite modern love story.
Gone with the Wind: My favorite classic love story.
Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain: This is bit odd bird but I list it in my top10 simply because it was the movie that got me interested in movies, before that I just watched blockbusters and whatever was on TV.
