Hal's Top Ten Films of All Time

Here are two lists that will probably change over time. The first are the ten films I believe are the best ever made (so far, as I'm still missing plenty). The second are my ten favourite films, whether they're really classics or not. I've seen all but two of these movies more than once (up to many many times indeed), and I'm seriously looking forward to watching them again.
