5 Favorite Movies

You can only watch 5 movies for the rest of your life!
What ya gonna choose?
i got, in no particular order:
1. Pulp Fiction
2. The Big Lebowski
3. Reservoir Dogs
4. Halloween
5. Fight Club

Gladiator
Brave Heart
Goodfellas
Rocky
Scarface

Pretty good list man, I enjoy all of those as well. Mine is:

1. Touch of Evil
2. Citizen Kane
3. Dr Strangelove, or How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
4.Oldboy
5. M

Most of these are old as sin and probably boring as hell by most people's standards, buy hey, far as I'm concerned they don't make films like they used to. I could list a bunch of honorable mentions, but I fell like bing lazy.

Also, the lack of horror flicks is due to the fact that that is a whole other list for me, I couldn't possibly just pick one of my favorites without feeling like I left something out.

In that order

Haha, Raging Bull and Taxi Driver both just missed my top five. De Niro is amazing, though it must be frusrating to come out of nowhere and do all those amazing portrayals that early in your career, and then never be able to touch them again. Not that he's become a worse actor, but his first few big roles were so powerful and well portrayed that they almost seem to totally overshadow everything else he's done.

Old School
Stand By Me
American History X
The Big Lebowski
The Lost Boys

Ask me tomorrow and I'll give you a different list.

Okay, I can't resist.

These were given serious consideration...

Escape from Alcatraz
Full Metal Jacket
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Shawshank Redemption
Silence of the Lambs
Forrest Gump
Casino
Scarface
etc.
etc.
etc.
etc.

Okay. I'll stop now.

Snatch
Lock, Stock 'n Two Smokin' Barrels
Ghost Dog
Ghost in the Darkness
The Punisher

in my college western civ class of 40 people, a teacher asked us students who all had seen gangs of new york and i was the only one that had seen it and only a few had said they had heard of it
i dont know how this is possible, maybe it was not marketted correctly or was too long for some, but it just amazed me i was only one who had seen it.....great movie btw



for the record i hard a hard time not listing Anchorman as my top 5, me and my friends still quote that movie every day

5. The Marine

The John Cena, "The Marine?" Cause if so, that movie was horrid. I made the mistake of buying the dvd for $17, and when I tried selling it I could only get $4. The acting except for Robert Patrick was bad, and even this movie made him look like a amateur... Sorry if you disagree.

Gangs of New York = décevoir

These are mine:

1. 300
2. Apocalypto
3. Grandma's Boy
4. The Departed
5. Mean Machine

1. Fight Club
2. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
3. 300


Can't really number them in order from there but heres the rest
Joe Dirt
Butterfly Effect
Sin City
Transporter series
Man on Fire
Crank
Saw 1 & 3
Casino Royal
Click
Waterboy
Smokin' Aces
Domino (only good to watch once)


Also, has anyone seen the korean movie "Old Boy'? I suggest anyone see it if they like crazy endings. It is the ultimate revenge story.
