My #11 is Brief Encounter. The movie is David Lean's masterpiece; it surpasses even Lawrence of Arabia. It's a very quiet, conservative, muted movie, but it's also powerful, devastatingly romantic, and bittersweet. It's incredible that Lean could make quiet, romantic movies like Brief Encounter and also make epics like Lawrence and The Bridge on the River Kwai. Brief Encounter may not conform to the standard movie romance formula, but it remains one of the most touching, tender, and romantic stories ever told on camera.
