I have always loved movies. They offer an escape from the humdrum routine and a chance to enter another world, a world of intrigue or fantasy or adventure. Movies entertain us with comedy and tragedy; they offer hope or portray desperation; they lift us up and they bring us to our knees.

Here is my list of the best movies ever made, presented alphabetically in installments of ten. See how many you have seen. I find that movies are very personal, but see if you agree with my choices. My favorite genres are Thrillers and Dramas; I hate scary movies.

21. Days of Wine and Roses 

22. Dead Man Walking 

23. The Deerhunter 

24. Die Hard Series (Die Hard, Die Hard 2:Die Harder, Die Hard with a Vengeance, Live Free or Die Hard, A Good Day to Die Hard) 

25. Dirty Dozen 

26. Dirty Harry series (Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, The Enforcer, Sudden Impact, The Dead Pool)
