  2. Snatch
  3. You Can Count on Me
  4. In the Mood for Love
  5. Memento
  6. State and Main
  7. X-Men
  8. Battle Royale
  9. Charlie's Angels
  10. All the Pretty Horses

I did LOVE Wonder Boys and it would probably have made my list. And Virgin Suicides would have been #2 but according to IMDB it was 1999.
I also liked What Lies Beneath.
Why can't you guys put them in order? It's not like the fate of the world depends on it.

I had Virgin Suicides and Bring It On and X-Men and Traffic and O Brother Where Art Thou in my 15, but I kept it to 10. Also, I remember absolutely loving this movie Beautiful People but I haven't seen it or heard of it since I saw it in the theater so it's hard for me to judge its staying power (which influenced these lists greatly).

ahhhh -- What Lies Beneath.

Mine ARE in order. I just didn't use numbers. All of my Top 10s are in order. (but not the non-top-10 comments).

What are y'all using for reference? I'm sure I could find something, but I guess what I'm asking is - surely you're not doing any of this from memory or your own previously created lists?

Well, you know 100% that I'm not doing it from memory. I think I just googled movies and found a box-office list from each movie. Then scrolled down the list (they were quite extensive).
