The Godfather (1972)
Dawn of the Dead (1978)
Halloween (1978)

I don't base my movies on a scale of 10 but rather a scale of 5, however, I guess either way they are the maximum amount of stars I can give a film. Off the top of my head… the following gets a 10/10 or a 5/5
Titanic
Glory
Sunset Boulevard
Key Largo
Brazil
Goodfellas
Wall Street
The Thing
Toy Story 1-3
The Lion King
E.T.
Schindler's List
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Unforgiven
Pulp Fiction
Debbie Does Dallas is overrated. Gold Diggers is where it's at. There's "necrophilia" in that movie.

hahaha
It's a toughie; a 10/10 is hard to achieve for me, especially both on a personal and critical level
Apocalypse Now, original cut
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
Amadeus
Dog Day Afternoon
Metropolis (1927)
There'll probably be more, but I truly have to wrestle with myself concerning what is worthy
To be serious though for a moment, there are only four films that have reached the status of a perfect film.
The Shawshank Redemption
The Dark Knight
Heat
Zodiac
Shawshank and Amadeus were amazing. I wanted to cry at the end of Shawshank.
The end always makes me smile. When Andy first sees Red on the beach, just an awesome moment of cinema.
Duck Soup
Inception
Black Swan
The Dark Knight
The Social Network
Toy Story 3
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Up
I Saw the Devil
Ip Man
Oldboy
Children of Men
Moon
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Terminator 2
Psycho (1960)
Jaws
Mr. Nobody
Casino
my top 10 favorite films from any genre
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Labyrinth
The Nightmare Before Christmas
CLUE
The Last Unicorn
Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland
Toby and the Koala (Yoram Gross dir.)
The Wiz/Wizard of OZ
Tom Sawyer (with Jodi Foster)
Watership Down (yes even bunnies can be scary)
Ah Duck Soup. People drastically underestimate the humor of the Marx brothers. It's one of those films that I can laugh over and over again at. Speaking of slapstick, thanks Caroline for making remember Clue. Although not a 10/10, it's certainly a favorite.
Here are more I just thought of:
Metropolis
The Great Dictator
Modern Times
Brazil
Forrest Gump
Dances With Wolves
Here are some of my 10s and I just kept to the Horror Genre and they are not in order.
Hellraiser
An American Werewolf in London
Phantasm
Suspiria
The Strangers
Silence of the Lambs
Saw
Silent Night Deadly Night
Sleepaway Camp
Halloween(Original)
Friday the 13th(Original)
Nightmare On Elm Street(Original)
Ah Sleepaway Camp. The movie with the twist that's the equivalent of kicking a man in the balls, then finding out that he doesn't have any on a count of the fact that he ain't a man.

It's very hard for me to give a horror movie a 5/5 or 10/10 and the only horror movie that has that rating is The Thing. Even my second favorite movie, The Blob, is a 5 1/2.
