Top 5

[The Burgomaster]

Here are my 5.  If you ask me tomorrow, I might give you a different list.  Very tough to pick the best 5 of all time.

* GODFATHER / GODFATHER PART II (I can't separate them . . . not sure which one I like better)

* TAXI DRIVER

* THE HUSTLER

* THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE

* GOODFELLAS

[Mr. DS]

Hmmmm...I'm sure I'll switch this up later...the following except #1 are in no order...

1.) Jaws
2.) Scarface
3.) Caddyshack
4.) Friday The 13th Part 1
5.) Empire Strikes Back

[Hammock Rider]

My answer will change with the tides, but for right now, in no particular order;

1. The Right Stuff

2. The Vikings

3. Goodfellas

4.Tombstone

5.Amelie (Huh? AM I going soft. No way. It must be all those hormones they pump into our meat.)

[Caronte]

no particular order, probably in 5 minutes I will tell another five movies(this is VERY difficult):

- the seventh seal

-a clockwork orange

-saving private ryan

-fight club

-schindler's list

[Eyesore]

Currently rolling around in my head,

Dead Man
Fargo
Crumb
Santo and Blue Demon vs The Monsters
Mulholland Drive

[zombie no.one]

Goodfellas is "winning".........

[frank]

In chronological order (just for convenience):

1. King Kong (the Original)

2. The Great Dictator

3. Arsenic and Old Lace

4. Leon (the Professional; Jean Reno NOT Jean Claude van Damme, the "man with four names where two would do")

5. The Big Lebowski

[onionhead]

Lemme see, lemme see.  These are always subject to adjustment:

The Man Who Would Be King--John Houston's rousing epic adventure in mythical Khafiristan, with wonderful interplay between Michael Caine and Sean Connery

One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest--while not 100% on par with Kesey's novel, it is still one of the Best Pictures ever

The Bridge on the River Kwai--the best war movie ever

Duck Soup--the Marx Brothers battle in Freedonia, one of the eras finest comedies

The Haunting--the original, Robert Wise's spooky, creaky haunteed house is the best and scariest rides

[Rev. Powell]

Usual disclaimers apply.  Here's five I'd be happy to go with:

LA DOLCE VITA
CASABLANCA
CHINATOWN
THE WIZARD OF OZ
[see my avatar]

[Mortal Envelope]

5 that I like real well:

The Empire Strikes Back

Heathers

5 of the best...:

               1. the Seven Samurai 
               2. 12 Monkeys
               3. Holy Grail
               4. Labyrinth (Didn't realize t´was a musical...sort of... until a year ago. And I have been watching it since the 80´s)
               5. Dead man

[Killer Bees]

In no particular order:

V For Vendetta

The final choice is down to In the Mouth of Madness, Lilo and Stitch or Tremors

It's not an easy list to make...  Like all film buffs, I love a lot...
The only ones I can think of right now that I strongly support are:

Stalag 17

Coffy

Blazing Saddles

Abbot and Costello meet Frankenstein

Arthur

[Sister Grace]

1. The Night Porter - best love epic ever

2. Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

3. Nekromantic1/Nekromantic2

4. Dead Alive

5. Fade to Black

Also is a toss up with Aftermath/Genesis, although from my experience i dont recommend this as a date movie, i pretty sure my last boyfriend left me because i made him watch it....

Let's see top 5 (or so) movies that I can think of at the moment... in no particular order...

MP Holy Grail


Honorable Mentions... Dawn of the Dead (original), The Black Hole (cheesy yeah, but good for its day and a decent concept), Flash Gordon (for reasons too numerous to list in a short post)... there are others but I'd be listing movies all night.
