Only thing I haven't seen on the list is Split.

Highly subjective list in my opinion. But that's fair since everyone has a different taste.
Don't agree with all of them but the "top 10" is solid and could be recommended to anyone.

Already saw basically all of them.

Not a bad list. I have a completely different top 10 but obviously it all comes down to personal preferences.

This honestly looks like a super generic imdb copied list.

why is shawshank redemption rated so high

movie was boring for me...

Where's requiem for a dream

~.

Huh who would've guessed that a list of someone's favorite movies would be subjective

Forrest Gump is overrated

A lot of the movies on his list are overrated/only liked by Oscar snobs. Like I said, very generic, could have been ripped directly from any number of imdb lists.
