My bad: didn't recognize you as the OP. Thought it was for the first time. Indeed. Rectify that situation posthaste.
its hard to choose five but i will try monty python and the holy grail dumb and dumber jurassic park LOTR trilogy - 3 films but 1 story so i count it as one film Toy Story
Can't fit 5 so here's 10 in no particular order: Aliens The Matrix Contact Blade Runner 2001:Space Odyssey Terminator 2 The Abyss Children of Men Pan's Labyrinth Last of the Mohicans
if i were to make a top 15 or top 20 or so i would include movies because of different reasons. for example i would throw dazed and confused, friday, and evil dead II on the list because of the sheer number of times i have watched those movies and the memories i have from those times. but since its only 5, i will limit it (for the most part) to movies that blew my mind. old boy the matrix lonesome dove seven city of god i beg of someone to come up with a better list then mine
1. The Dark Knight - awesome movie, my favorite of all time. 2. Inception - Christopher Nolan knows how to make great movies. 3. Greatest Game Ever Played - something about this movie, maybe the storyline, really makes me enjoy it. It's hard to explain. 4. We Are Marshall - sad, but still a great movie. 5. Hoosiers - Best basketball movie of all time, Glory Road is a close second, with The Pistol not far behind.
couldn't do 5, Trading Places Amadeus Raiders of the Lost Ark Sex,Lies and Videotape Ronin Ridicule LA Confidential Jaws All the President's Men Muriel's Wedding
I know I'm in the minority, but I hated Seven. I found it boring and predictable. This was the first movie I saw with Brad Pitt in it, and it ruined me on him for almost 10 solid years before I gave him another chance. So, take that.
The Matrix Ghostbusters Hackers (YEAH I SAID IT) Infernal Affairs Swingers Don't get me wrong, I like the more serious and/or thought provoking movies out there (LA Confidential, City of God, etc), but these movies have a really high replay value in my house. I'm not in a rush to experience Reqium for a Dream again any time soon.
5- American Pie 5 4- American Pie 4 3- American Pie 3 2- American Pie 2 1- American Pie 1 ps: not serious.
1) Pulp Fiction (watched it so much I can memorize most of the script) 2) Spirited away 3) Good Will Hunting 4) American Gangster 5) Coach Carter Honorable mentions Dark Knight Tokyo Drift LA confidential Forrest Gump
in no particular order and without thinking about it too much: Die Hard Dark Knight Pulp Fiction Good Will Hunting Rushmore
I can never do a definitive list because I always forget something but off the top of my head... Airplane! Dr. Strangelove Resevior Dogs Dawn of the Dead The Prestige
Good call on The Prestige. Good movie... underrated I think. Is Christian Bale the best working actor right now?
I read the book first...'ruined' the movie for me, because the movie is completely different (but enjoyable). Bale is very good, but his spoiled-actor antics put a slant on my opinion of him. I'd take Ed Norton, Daniel Day-Lewis and Gary Oldman over him.
I only enjoyed Bale in American Psycho which he was brilliant in. Since then he has been on a downward spiral. Specifically in the dark knight where I hated every second he spoke. Heath ledger owned every scene in that movie.
No Country Garden State Shawshank Dumb & Dumber and last but not least The Sandlot Honorable Mention - The Departed, 500 Days of Summer, Jarhead, & Slumdog
