Showdown: The Right Stuff

I usually limit myself to ten films, but life is short and there are too many great films not to highlight. This is actually more difficult than if the criteria were Oscar winners, because the best film of the year doesn't always win. However, there are still a ton of films missing because the Academy is often full of morons, or people who have been bribed and courted. Either way, this was too hard to rank properly so I stopped reordering and decided to just post. I'm pretty confident in my top five though.

This list would probably be longer, but I limited only to films I've seen, which should be the only way to do this.
