My Lord, my Lord, where do I start?!?! There are so many ......
I'll post first, then read the other replies. The short answer is, I love all kinds of movies, and I have so many favorites that I can't even narrow them down to a top 10 or 20. I started jotting them down and found I couldn't type as fast as I thought of them (and I type 80wpm), so I finally just made myself stop. Here are just a few of my all-time favorites, just off the top of my head (can you say "eclectic?").

... and lately I've been watching old movies on AMC and TCM like the end of the world is coming, and have just recently fulfilled a goal of mine: to see all three major Zorro films: the Antonio Banderas one, the Tyron Power one, and the Douglas Fairbanks one. Fairbanks blew the others out of the water - and that's saying something.
This is getting too long, so ... singing off for now,

EDIT: Oops. I didn't read the rules first. I don't know if I can get the list down to just 10, sinking ship or not. I'll give it some serious thought!
