I can give you the first 10 movies that pop into my head when I think of movies that I like.

Monty Python: Holy Grail, Life of Brian
Up
Mary Poppins
The Princess Bride
Star Wars episode IV
Secretariat
Pay it Forward
The Life of Pi
2nd hand lion

I'm sure there are plenty more; I just don't rank things I like.
