I also think "The Killing of Chinese Bookie" (one of my favorites and a truely underappreciated Cassavetes film) should certainly be in the top ten. You lists beg the question of how to rank films; cultural/cinematic importance, aesthetic or acting value, personal impact, etc. Would you talk a little bit about the criteria you use?
