An all time favorite was "Cannery Row." More recent ones are: "the Red Violin," "Lives of Others (a real eye opener)," and several series especially British period pieces. A favorite of those is "Larkrise to Candleford." In my former life I was a records Manager and like to organize things. Created a spreadsheet for films and rate them. Our library has over 6,000 DVD's so I bring the sheet when looking for new videos. That way films watched are not checked out a second time.

My #1 movie is In The Heat Of The Night...1967 and starring Sydney Poitier and Rod Steiger. It also has the coolest title song sung by Ray Charles.

It's hard to narrow it down to ten and even harder to put them in order of preference, since I like a lot of very different films for very different reasons. However, Number 1 is easy: My Life As A Dog (Hallström, 1985), because it's almost perfect and in my opinion the greatest film ever made. Nine more made within my own lifetime, but in no particular order, that spring to mind at this moment are...

Jean de Florette (and - cheating a bit here - its sequel Manon des Sources) (Berri, 1986)
Faust (Švankmajer, 1994)
We Are The Best! (Moodysson, 2013)
Dead Man's Shoes (Meadows, 2004)
A Field In England (Wheatley, 2013)
The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover (Greenaway, 1989)
Let The Right One In (Alfredson, 2008)
The Triplets of Belleville (Chomet, 2003)
Amélie (Jeunet, 2001)

...and I've already thought of Delicatessen (Jeunet, 1991), The Babadook (Kent, 2014), Rams (Hákonarson, 2015), Man Facing Southeast (Subiela, 1986), Pan's Labyrinth (del Toro, 2006), and pretty much everything by Ken Loach to add to those.
