Top 5 movies of all time...thread

iBlue said:
Though it's become a bit ubiquitous, Pulp Fiction will always be near the top of my list. It never looks like a bitch and I never try to fsck it like a bitch.

The Big Lebowski. Abide!

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays.

Fight Club. I am Jack's smirking revenge.

Pineapple Express. This is like the apex of the vortex of joint engineering.

Sorry but I'm also going to list some close contenders to top 5:

Wedding Crashers, 50 First Dates, True Romance, Sin City, Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Ferris Bueller's Day off, The Breakfast Club, Drop Dead Fred. ... just off the top of my head. I loves me some movies but I'm fickle and forgetful.

If you wasn't married, and I wasn't married......and I wasn't offensively ugly I would marry you Blue. You have great taste in movies, you clearly like Muse so have good taste in music too and.....let's face it, you have a great set of knockers ;)

I would add The Shawshank Redemption, Amelie, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, The Green Mile and Spirited Away off the top of my head.

*curtseys* ;)

Shawshank Redemption was brilliant. So are the rest so I think we could do movies. :cool:
 
Top 5

I am very surprised that nobody said Gladiator. I absolutely love it.

Next four:

Top Gun
Heat
The Lion King (considering my other choices, this one stands out, doesn't it?)
Saving Private Ryan

Yes, very good for sure, but I also really liked Kingdom Of Heaven for that genre.

A small roll for Edward Norton, for sure, but he exemplifies the statement "There are no small parts. Only small actors".

Yes, yes yes!
Spirited Away was the first film I saw that I never wanted to end.
I'd probably squeeze in Watchmen too. I really enjoyed that, having never read the comics I didn't "get it" until around halfway in. The last 30 mins were brilliant.

Great list Rt&Zine. To be honest I haven't seen or heard of the last but we seem to have rather similar taste in movies. I will have to check it out.

It's by Jim Jarmusch. He also did these great films:

  • Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai
  • Mystery Train
  • Down by Law
  • Stranger Than Paradise
 
Star Wars: A New Hope the original. Not the remake
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
Glory
Lord of the Rings: All three as one! (cheating I know)
Raiders of The Lost Ark
The Matrix

Embarassingly not familiar with him at all. Will let you know how I go. Got exams in the way but a nice break afterwards so some quality passive material on the couch is very welcome :)

Because you can't tell the difference between good and popular.

What ever dude, like I said, my top 5 movies are what they are. If that means you die a little inside because you get so wrapped up in what others consider good, so be it. Life is too short for me to worry about what others think.

Those movies were good, you seem to disagree, no skin skin off my nose. I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

Let him off the hook.

Movies, like books, are subjective, in the extreme.

Oh, just thought about The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi (2003).

A fun romp, chocked-full of visual vignettes. :)
 
I'd like to suggest that anyone answering this question with a list consisting entirely of movies released after they were born should expand their horizons and watch some movies older than they are. I'll excuse anyone here over 90.

I have, doesn't mean I like them or would put them on the top 5 movies list for me.

Their are a few I like, but not as much as those that I posted.
