The Sting
The Right Stuff
Apollo 13

My list would change based on my mood.  Sometimes I just want to laugh for 90 minutes.  Sometimes I want to sit and watch a heavy movie for 150 min and eat popcorn and drink beer.  I could categorize into 3 main genres, with no particular order for the movies in them,

Comedy: Naked Gun, 3 Amigos, Animal House, Coming to America, Tommy Boy

Drama: Godfather 1 and 2, Shawshank, Scent of a Woman, Field of Dreams, Usual Suspects

Action: Raiders, Episodes 4 and 5, Red October, Beverly Hills Cop, Shooter (I have no idea why I love this movie so much but I can't stop watching when it comes on)

Die Hard

Predator

Hunt for Red October (hell of a 3 movie run for John McTiernan)

True Lies

Point Break

John Wick

Matrix

A Few Good Men

Princess Bride

Braveheart/Apocalypto (pick your favorite "Mel Gibson rewrites history" movie)

I like your About time selection. I told my wife that’s a movie I probably need to watch at least once a year. I’m tempted to watch some of the others on your list that I haven’t seen because you like about time.

There's no way I could narrow down a list of ten. Whatever the list, it would include Almost Famous, The Adventures of Robin Hood, Raising Arizona, and Three Amigos. Probably Monty Python & The Holy Grail (which would've been at or near the top of the list four decades ago, I've just seen it so many times over the years). After that there are just too many candidates competing for the remaining spots. 

I'd probably have to give one of them to The Grateful Dead Movie.

Not in order, somewhat off the top of my head, and having read some of your lists:

Star Wars

Barcelona

Isle of Dogs

That Thing You Do

Raiders of the Lost Ark

Office Space

Groundhog Day

Love Actually

Good Will Hunting

Fast Times at Ridgemont High

I should clarify that the Red on my list is the 1994 movie, not the 2010 movie titled Red starring Bruce Willis.
