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.
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"?

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.

Big Chaplin fan?

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.
