I can... 5. Blade Runner 4. The Apartment 3. Alien 2. The Shawshank Redemption 1. Close Encounters Of The Third Kind Jul 11 14 03:30 pm Link nope too many to choose from too many I didn't see yet Jul 11 14 04:52 pm Link No. Too many great movies of too many genres to put in any sort of order. Jul 11 14 05:08 pm Link 1. Les Enfants du Paradis, (Children of Paradise) by Marcel Carné 2. Jean de Florette by Claude Berri 3. The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, Her Lover by Peter Greenaway 4. Once Upon a Time in the West by Sergio Leone 5. How Green Was My Valley by John Ford 5. How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb by Stanley Kubrick (tie) Well, just after that, 6. (or 7) Stranger Than Paradise by Jim Jarmusch No, actually it's, The Virgin Spring (Swedish: Jungfrukällan) by Ingmar Bergman Jul 11 14 05:26 pm Link 1. Citizen Kane 2. Schindler's List 3. Lawrence of Arabia 4. The Third Man 5. It Happened One Night Jul 11 14 05:57 pm Link Twelve O'clock High God Is My Copilot Captains of the Clouds Battle Hymn Flying Leathernecks The order may change when I get to watch one of these movies again and it becomes my all time favorite... Jul 11 14 06:01 pm Link Santa Sangre Clockwork Orange Alien El Topo Full Metal Jacket Jul 11 14 07:25 pm Link Jul 11 14 07:27 pm Link 1. Saving Private Ryan 2. Raging Bull 3. Tokyo Story 4.

Once Upon a Time in the West by Sergio Leone Best western ever made. Jul 11 14 08:22 pm Link Apocalypse Now Jul 11 14 08:38 pm Link 1) Incendies Ran Alien The Godfather Xiu Xiu :The Sent Down Girl Jul 11 14 08:48 pm Link These are ones that I'll always stop and watch again. 1 - Saving Private Ryan - Because - just - Damn.. 2 - Glory/Gettysburg - For the Civil War Collector in me 3 - The Elephant Man - Because it is awesome - sad - and mostly forgotten 4 - Shawshank - Duh.. 5 - Big Trouble in Little China/Escape From New York - Cause folks gotta have a guilty pleasure or two. Jul 11 14 10:24 pm Link I can't name the top five in order - depends on my mood - but I know three of them will be Aliens, LA Confidential, and Memento. Shawshank, Star Wars (the 1977 one), Silverado, Casablanca, and a few others will rotate into the top spots on a given night. Jul 11 14 10:29 pm Link All depends on my mood which are the top 5: Wizard of Oz The Longest Day Heavy Metal '61 The Boondock Saints Star Wars (1977) 2001: A Space Odyssey A Clockwork Orange It's A Wonderful Life Rear Window The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance The Shootist The Sons of Katie Elder The Outlaw Josey Wales The Good, The Bad And The Ugly Enter The Dragon Tombstone Jul 12 14 12:37 am Link I'm going to go with rewatch-ability. Movies I could and still can watch any time it's on. Monty Python and the Holy Grail Ferris Beuller's Day Off Ironman Primer (just because it's such a total mindfuck) The Dark Knight These aren't exactly cinematic masterpieces, but I interpret the question of "favorite" movies as those that you like to watch over and over. Cassablanca might be a certified classic film, but I've seen it, and I have no real desire to see it again. Jul 12 14 01:01 am Link Black Hawk Down Saving Private Ryan Silence of the Lambs Donnie Darko Se7en Jul 12 14 01:41 am Link sure i could, but what's the point?

Jul 12 14 06:09 am Link I have like one or two movies that always go in my top 5 of all time but it's constant rotation because I like a lot of movies. Let's go with top 5 directors: 1. Darren Aronofsky 2. David Lynch 3. Stanley Kubrick 4. Michael Haneke 5. Cohen Brothers Jul 12 14 06:10 am Link It would be difficult......I'd surely remember something else & think oh shit how could I have forgot that one? I'll change as my brain farts subside this morning.  Color Purple The Godfather 1 AND 2. (2 was better IMHO) Pale Rider Jul 12 14 06:14 am Link Cherrystone wrote: are you kidding? especially since my gf forced me (under threat of no sex for a week) to watch twenty minutes of this soccer nonsense. Jul 12 14 11:35 am Link transformers 1 transformers 2 transformers 3 transformers 4 transformers 5 Jul 12 14 12:19 pm Link GK photo wrote: Have sex with her ten times. Jul 12 14 12:20 pm Link No, but I can easily name five movies that are in my top 100, in no particular order: - Pulp Fiction - Adaptation - Being John Malkovich - Wizard of Oz - Blue Velvet Jul 12 14 12:27 pm Link No special order... Chinatown Tombstone L.A. Confidential Airplane Sharknado To Kill a Mockingbird Snakes on a Plane Jul 12 14 02:43 pm Link Casablanca Play it again Sam Godfather1 and 2 Cabaret The Ladykillers (Ealing version) But there are dozens I could have listed. The one that has me most in thrall isn't even a movie, it's the BBC adaptation of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. I watch it periodically and am always so engrossed I have to watch Smiley's People afterwards. I seem to recall John le Carre saying he had to stop writing about Smiley after Alec Guiness had portrayed him because Guiness so completely replaced his own mental image of the character. It's so good that if you asked me whether I'd rather be Geroge Smiley or James Bond, I'd want to be Smiley. Jul 12 14 03:15 pm Link 5) House of 1000 Corpses 4) Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban 3) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 2ish) The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) 1) Alice in Wonderland (1951) Two and one basically equal, really, which is funny because they couldn't be more different. Jul 12 14 03:31 pm Link 1. Forrest Gump 2. The Lion King (yes, I said it) 3. The Mask of Zorro 4. The Mummy 5. Scream I have a long list of favorites, but for nostalgia's sake, these have always been my top five. Jul 12 14 03:57 pm Link I don't have a particular order, but the current top 5 would be: The Phantom Of The Opera The Memphis Belle We Were Soldiers Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Hey, Stop Stabbing Me!

Look, we have something in common. Jul 12 14 04:31 pm Link Off the top of my head.... 1.) Breakfast Club 2.) Spirited Away 3.) The Avengers OR Captain America Winter Soldier 4.) Terminator 2: Judgment Day 5.) Chasing Amy  Jul 12 14 04:35 pm Link J Strath wrote: I was obsessed with this movie when I was like 13 and in a really dramatic relationship. Jul 12 14 04:37 pm Link Can't limit it to 5, and in no special order: Alien Aliens Terminator Terminator 2 It's a Wonderful Life Gladiator Casablanca The Seven Samurai Rashomon Forbidden Planet Jul 12 14 04:41 pm Link Alabaster Crowley wrote: Yeah, it definitely just hits a soft spot in my heart. Though I was just introduced to "View Askewniverse" movies within the last year. So the love is fresh! Jul 12 14 04:41 pm Link Alabaster Crowley wrote: Goblet of Fire is the first Harry Potter book that I ever read. The funny thing is, while I was reading it, I pictured Alan Rickman as Professor Snape, and this was before any of the movies came out. Jul 12 14 04:46 pm Link |
