What are your top 5 favorite movies of all times?

Mine are:

In Pursuit of Happyness :)
Pay it Forward
Somewhere in Time
Bridget Jones Diary
Mrs. Winterborne

So you're a chick?

So you're a chick with bad taste?

OK one from column A - Historical Drama : A Man for All Seasons ..... or Zulu for the stiff upper lip heroics
One from column B - Historical Dharma ( movie humour .I crack me up): Grosse Point Blank.
One from column C - Horror : The Exorcist . I'm tempted to put Jaws but I saw it again recently and the "town" scenes haven't age well.Also Alien but I prefer happier endings .
Speaking of townies ,column D ,Sports Movies : Breaking Away .Again a close call with several baseball movies - Field of Dreams, Bull Durham (not that it's really about baseball), The Natural , a football movie or two, notably Brian's Song and of course Chariots of Fire and both the Prefontaine movies not to mention Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner ( again not really about the running - at least literally - though) and of course being Canadian , Slap Shot.
What's that leave, comedies ?Sort of cover that with Grosse Point or Sci-fi ? Alien/Aliens - even though as mentioned the first is a horror movie and the second is a western.:unsure:
OK then how about another Western - The Warriors mainly for the ending even though I'm assumed to admit that I really like Hill's Streets of Fire better ( sort of love/hate though).

Wait I've changed my mind.
In the Heat of the Night
The Killer
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Bullit
Clerks ....errrrr Dazed and Confused

Umm can you rephrase the question to "name some movies that you've enjoyed"?:unsure:

[hulabula]

^Taste is subjective. How can it be good or bad? :|

For me (no particular order):

-The Hitch
-Bedazzled
-Entrapment
-Freaky Friday (w/ lindsay lohan)
-Home Alone

I dunno ,same way your's is?:idunno:

Seriously though ,yes taste is subjective , apparently in the same way that humour is.

Bedazzled:mellow: At least tell me that's it's the Dudley Moore/Peter Cook one.:(

[hulabula]

Eh I don't know. I don't care much about the art aspects of a film. I judge a film's worth by figuring how good watching it felt. So, I'd rather choose the feel-goodness of Bedazzled over the awe in Heath Ledger's acting in The Dark Knight.


Bedazzled At least tell me that's it's the Dudley Moore/Peter Cook one.

The one with Brendan Fraser. Haha Diff stroke for different folks.

Good to see you're trying out the comma thing. Keep on plugging, kiddo.

Try to regard it as representative of your breathing. Up until now, you came across as an intelligent Dennis Leary.

For further reading, check out Samuel Beckett's How It Is. A novel devoid entirely of punctuation and left trusting to the reader's asthma.

In other news, you're a cunt. Woo hoo!!

Also, The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner is one of my favourites. For obvious reasons.

I think Sillitoe died recently. Which kinda refreshed it for me.

Yes, he was genius, I wish I had a small part of his :)

[IdolEyes787]

I would have gone with The Great Dictator or Modern Times although Chaplin's genius shines brightest in Limelight .
Laughter is actually a response to pain ,not joy( why do you think that you laugh when someone falls down?) a fact that Chaplin was acutely aware of.

[IdolEyes787]

incepetion 2010

In too much of a hurry to spam your way to the invite section to even be bothered to spell the name right
And I suppose it's Inception 2010 as opposed to some other Inception.:ermm:

[clocker]

In no particular order...
-Alien
-Goodfellas
-Chicago (close runner up, Cabaret)
-Fargo
-The Fall

I'm assuming that we're making a distinction between "great" and "favorite" movies here.
There are lots of great films whose merits I admire without feeling compelled to watch them repeatedly.

[efezafer]

taxi driver
AI
kill bill 1

[eJoyB]

hmmm, difficult to keep it to 5, surely a lot are gonna be left out, but ok, here's my take:
The Abyss!!! (Just perfect!)
The Shawshank Redemption
The Notebook
Blood in Blood out (too bad very few people know about this movie! it's a great one)
Legends of the Fall

but so many more are egual in greatness to those above, for my taste at least.

[karachidude]

"the shawshank redemption" outclass movie

[IdolEyes787]

The Abyss!!! (Just perfect!)
The Shawshank Redemption
The Notebook
Blood in Blood out (too bad very few people know about this movie! it's a great one)
Legends of the Fall

but so many more are equal in greatness to those above, for my taste at least.

The scene from The Abyss in which Ed Harris and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio are trapped in the flooding sub is one of my personal favorites.Of course Cameron always knew his way around an emotionally charged set piece.
That said I think The Abyss falters badly at times and I'm not sure that the ending got it right.

Legends of the Fall ,the best part was the last line.

[Chewie]

Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels
Snatch

I just watched it with my wife, both of us hadn't seen it yet.....one word : overwhelming

thanks for sharing

[megabyteme]

Which one, KF?

[IdolEyes787]

...one word : overwhelming



I think we can safely eliminate K-Pax as a possibility.

[KFlint]

Which one, KF?
:pinch:

Into the Wild, directed by Sean Penn, I never saw my wife crying that much after watching a movie and she usually is not the crying type. An amazing and sad story at the same time.

We didn't know it was a true story until the end :O

Indeed lol, I had forgotten everything about this movie until now.

Now you tell me True Lies isn't? :cry:

[IdolEyes787]

It's true it's a lie if that makes you feel any better.

[megabyteme]

8 Seconds, ..............

I believe you meant to include, "8 Mile". I keep waiting for a sequel- I'd kinda like to know how things turned out for that talented kid...

[IdolEyes787]

Little known fact they tried to make a similar movie with Fred Durst but they had to give up on the idea .
No matter how many takes they shot they still couldn't get the extras to stop laughing when they told them that near the end they would have to look like they were enjoying his music.

[megabyteme]

That's just Limp, sir.

I actually saw that one with my parents. They liked it more than I did. If someone's into basketball, then that doesn't neccesarily mean that they're into rap also.

You're parents should have been smart enough to realize that being into basketball only means that you're also into prostitutes , guns and drugs .

Watch this (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112461/)or do something else.


Huh apparently basketball and football have more in common than I had realized.

[megabyteme]

DiCaprio has barely aged since Diaries. Oddly, he gets to play detectives, Howard Hughes, etc. Lucky kid...

[jkl49]

Natural Born Killers.

I have to give a huge nod to it. It might not be my absolute favorite of all time, but it's extremely well done, and has no flaws to speak of, there's really not a single bad thing you can say about it. So I'm sure it's close. Great cast, awesome characters, amazing soundtrack, really good story. And great drama, comedy, satire all rolled in one. Every time that I have seen it, I've always enjoyed it more and more. And the extended/unedited version has some absolutely great scenes and parts that didn't make the theatrical cut, really some of the best stuff of the entire movie.
