1.  The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Extended Edition) [DVD] DVD ~ Elijah Wood

2.  The Shawshank Redemption (3 Disc Special Edition Box Set) [1995] [DVD] DVD ~ Tim Robbins
The list author says:
  "You will love this film from start to finish, and everyone should see it once. Sometimes films just have that one incredibly powerful moment which makes them great - this film has about three or four"

4.  One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (2 Disc Special Edition) [1975] [DVD] DVD ~ Jack Nicholson
The list author says:
  "How unfair this film can only come fourth. Jack Nicholson gives the best acting performance ever as MacMurphy and wins an Oscar for his efforts in a film that took the top five Academy Awards in 1975."

5.  The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Extended Edition) [DVD] [2001] DVD ~ Elijah Wood
The list author says:
  "Favoured by many to ROTK, this is the film that blew away any cynicism I had about Tolikien's masterpiece being made into a film. Amazing sweeping camera shots will be my lasting memory of this film."

Ocean's Eleven [DVD] [2001]
6.  Ocean's Eleven [DVD] [2001] DVD ~ George Clooney
The list author says:
  "A film that unashamedly goes for pure entertainment. You will have a constant smile on your face as you watch Brad Pitt eat his way through nearly every scene. Shame about the recent sequel..........."

7.  Reservoir Dogs (2 Disc Special Edition) [1993] [DVD] DVD ~ Harvey Keitel
The list author says:
  "Mr. Blonde has to be one of the greatest characters ever created on celluloid. With a sharp, witty script and fine camera-work, this tense film is a joy from start to finish. Let's get to work!"

Collateral - 2 Disc Collectors Edition [DVD]
8.  Collateral - 2 Disc Collectors Edition [DVD] DVD ~ Collateral
The list author says:
  "A recent film, but one very firmly in my top ten. Jamie Foxx is superb and Tom Cruise is hard to upstage in this beautifully shot thriller. LA, looking amazing at night, may be the real star here."

The Hustler [1961] [DVD]
9.  The Hustler [1961] [DVD] DVD ~ Paul Newman
The list author says:
  "Paul Newman, at his very best, plays an arrogant pool-shark who wants a shot at the big-time. Shot beautifully in black and white, the final scene is one of the tensest I have seen. One to see."

School of Rock [DVD] [2004]
10.  School of Rock [DVD] [2004] DVD ~ Jack Black
The list author says:
  "Not to everyone's taste, this is the film that Jack Black needed. The funniest film I know, after a few viewings all of Black's lines will have you laughing. Great musical tribute to rock, too."

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (Extended Edition) [DVD] [2002]
11.  The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (Extended Edition) [DVD] [2002] DVD ~ Elijah Wood
The list author says:
  "The weakest of Peter Jackson's trilogy, yet if it weren't compared to the other two, this would be more acclaimed. It opens up a whole world of Middle Earth, allowing Weta to really show their worth."
£8.15   Used & New from: £2.47

12.  Croupier [DVD] [1999] DVD ~ Clive Owen
The list author says:
  "The previously unknown Clive Owen is simply amazing in this dark thriller set in the world of the London Casino. Eminently watchable, this is truly a work of art which rightfully shot Owen to fame."

13.  The Incredibles (2-disc Collector's Edition) [DVD] [2004] DVD ~ Craig T. Nelson
The list author says:
  "The only animation film ever to get Oscar nominations outside the animation category, this is a gloriously funny homage to all action/spy movies ever made. Pixar first film about humans amazes."
£7.79   Used & New from: £0.79

Donnie Darko [2002] [DVD]
14.  Donnie Darko [2002] [DVD] DVD ~ Jake Gyllenhaal
The list author says:
  "Worth watching just for the placement of "Mad World" at the end - directorial genius. However, this is also an incredibly funny and thought-provoking film that everyone should see once in their lives."
£5.97   Used & New from: £0.01

Shrek 2 [DVD] [2004]
15.  Shrek 2 [DVD] [2004] DVD ~ Mike Myers
The list author says:
  "Rivals The Incredibles as the best animation ever, this stupidly funny film never lets up. Dreamworks just kept the best bits from Shreck, but that's a good thing and works wonderfully."

Saving Private Ryan [DVD] [1998]
16.  Saving Private Ryan [DVD] [1998] DVD ~ Tom Hanks
The list author says:
  "The direction in this is superb. Probably the best war film ever made, it shows Spielburg and Hanks' first and best collaboration. Oh, did I mention the opening fifteen minutes........................"

17.  Jackie Brown - 2 Disc Collector's Edition [DVD] [1998] DVD ~ Pam Grier
The list author says:
  "Another Samuel L Jackson/Quentin Tarantino job that is considered by most to be QT's worst film. However, with an amazing score, smart chronology and a dead funny script, it's still a damn good film."
£8.94   Used & New from: £0.49

The Godfather Trilogy (5 Disc Box Set) [DVD]
18.  The Godfather Trilogy (5 Disc Box Set) [DVD] DVD ~ Marlon Brando
The list author says:
  "Didn't get a higher place as I have only seen parts 1 & 2 once each, but the acting I saw convinced me of this trilogy's status as a classic. Marlon Brando especially excels, as does Robert de Niro."

19.  Groundhog Day (Collector's Edition) [DVD] [2002] DVD ~ Bill Murray
The list author says:
  "Bill Murray is genius personified when he gets it right, and here he is playing the character he was born to. Ever wondered what it would be like to live the same day of your life over and over?"

20.  Shaun of The Dead [DVD] [2004] DVD ~ Simon Pegg
The list author says:
  "It's romantic, it's hilarious, and it has zombies. Simon Pegg's homage to the horror trilogy is cleverer than you think, managing to be mocking and reverential at the same time. A must see."

The list author says:
  "The best superhero film ever just looks fantastic. We get to know the characters so well, and especially good is Alfred Molina as Doc Ock. Computer graphics finally working well."

Day of The Jackal [DVD]
22.  Day of The Jackal [DVD] DVD ~ Edward Fox
The list author says:
  "Edward Fox is superb as an English assassin hired to kill Charles De Gaulle. What impressed me most was the film's adaption from the book - one of the most faithful ever. F. Forsythe should be proud."

23.  Snatch - Two Disc Set [DVD] [2000] DVD ~ Jason Statham
The list author says:
  "Just laugh-out-loud hilarity as we watch bumbling gasters try to get their hands on a very large diamond. Brad Pitt's Irish accent has to be seen to be believed, and Vinnie Jones' cameo is very funny."

The list author says:
  "One of the most original trilogys ever made, George Lucas' masterpieces can be watched again and again. Harrison Ford is my pick of the actors, looking slightly bemused about the whole thing."

The list author says:
  "I thought this was a very underrated film. Tom Cruise is in one of his better roles as an old American war "hero", but it's Timothy Spall who really steals the show as the posh English gent."
