@chessmaster1989: I was expecting you to name at least one of the man with no name trilogy. It's alright I'll do that for ya.

• For A Few Dollars More
• The Shawshank Redemption
• Reign Over Me
• Taxi Driver
• City Lights

I don't rank my favorite movies. Also I have a lot of them. So I just randomly named 5 of them.

Whole list.

Hmmm....

This isn't a definitive list but....

In the Mood for Love

Chunking Express

Infernal Affairs

Spirited Away

and the Lord of the Rings trilogy

....are all solid contenders for the top 5

I don't know if I should speak for chessmaster here, but...he did lol. TGTBTU is The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

@SaintLeonidas said:

I admire your list ....it's amazing!

I'm not a big movie guy, so I haven't seen many films. My list changes quite often. This is a rough (unordered) list:

• The Dark Knight Trilogy
• The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
• October Sky
• Zodiac
• I Am Legend

Honorable Mention:

Django Unchained

lol yeah TGTBTU is The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, I was just feeling lazy :P

In no order:

Inception
The Dark Knight
Interstellar
The Return of the King
The Two Towers
The Prestige

Oh, that's six - well i'm not really sure which one to take out so...

1. The Godfather

2. One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest

3. The Godfather Part 2

4. The Empire Strikes Back

5. Avatar

1. Apocalypse Now
2. Casablanca
3. Blade Runner
4. Raiders of the Lost Ark
5. Children of Men

1. Brick - Film Noir but not in black and white. Exceptionally well shot for a small budget film. Joseph Gordon Levitt is superb.

2. Heat - DeNiro. Pacino. Kilmer. Judd. The list goes on. Oh and the bank robbery scene is amazing.

3. Gangs of New York (honestly, anything with Daniel Day Lewis is worth watching, simply for him)

4. Blade Runner - The Directors Cut. The one that should have been released.

5. The Big Sleep - Because Film Noir at its finest.

6. Bull Durham - Yes, I know you said five. I made a list of ten and was going to whittle it down to five. But I can't leave this off the list. In terms of movies in general, it's not top 5. But because it involves a sport that I love and so accurate depicts it, it's awesome.

I don't have a "top 5" list because there are so many different kinds of movies, but if I did Oldboy (the original Korean version with subtitles and not the awful dub), Brick and Children of Men would be on it.

@FreedomFreeLife: slumdog millionaire? lol you are either indian or an idiot.

One of the highest rating movie. Movie is about story, life and meaning, not about big action transformers like you like.

Movie also won 8 oscars

Makes you believe that "You can win"
When you leave the theater after watching it, you are left with positive vibes
Also, the movie is brutally honest.All the social evils and practices really happen in our country. No director has ever been bold enough to portray Mumbai for what it really is.
On the whole, the plot of an under dog rising through all kinds of ranks to win the game-show was something which left a good taste in everyone's mouth.

99% other movies are just action movies, where has beggining, middle action/shooting and ending

Moulin Rouge

The Little Mermaid

Sucker Punch

Resident Evil

Burlesque

Cannibal Holocaust

Natural Born Killers

Persepolis

Exorcist

Detroit Metal City ... satsugai!!!!!!

I wouldn't even put Spirited Away in the top 5 ghibili movies. For shame.

Have you seen the full-length, unexpurgated version of Caligula (1979)? Based on your top two selections, I'm guessing that you would appreciate the movie.

Incidentally, it's on YouTube at the moment and it appears to be totally uncensored.

:-O

Linking to it or embedding it would be a rather brazen violation of the GS terms of service, but it should be easy enough to find. It was the 2:36:03 version that I watched.

In no order:

The Shawshank Redemption

Goodfellas

Back to the Future

Star Wars

Terminator 2

Not a definitive list but these are some of my favorites

Night of the Living Dead

Aliens

Alien 3

Fistful of Dollars ( If that's the one where he cuts the boiler plate ;) )

The Dark Knight

A few good men, 12 angry men, All of president's men, No country for old men, Children of men.

• Training Day
• The Fast and the Furious(1st one)
• Lord of the Rings Trilogy(though if I have to pick it would be Fellowship)
• The Dark Knight
• Bruce Almighty

two years later i'm definitely taking those off the list, spirited away is still a favorite though

Seven Samurai (1954)

The Apu Trilogy (1955-1959)

The Godfather I & II (1972-1974)

Back to the Future Trilogy (1985-1990)

Drunken Master II (1994)
