Nice list, Alexa. I've seen about 3/4 of them, and several of them would be on my all-time faves as well. My, we have good taste ;>).
I have never taken the time to make a big list, but in the case of music, books and film, a big list makes a lot more sense than a top ten or twenty, since I could not possibly limit myself to such a small and arbitrary amount. It would be an interesting project to make a definitive favorite list, and easier I suppose with a computer database. Maybe I'll save it for a monsoon.
Here's my favorite films from your list:
The Trip to Bountiful
Tender Mercies
Ramblin' Rose
The Great Santini
Muriel's Wedding
The Year my Voice Broke
Jean de Florette
Manon of the Spring
Sirens
Diva
Cold Comfort Farm
Persuasion
Sense and Sensibility
Vanya on 42nd Street
Tess
Desert Bloom
Mona Lisa
Apocalypse Now
The Conversation
Henry V (Branagh)
Animal House
This is Spinal Tap
Das Boot
Sex, Lies and Videotape
Groundhog Day
The Dead

Take care,
