Your top 5 movies

[mervyn]

I ask this because I’m always on the lookout for films I haven’t seen or had forgotten. My top 5, in no special order are:

Doctor Zhivago
Cinema Paradiso
Godfather 2
Radio Days
Some like it hot

 

[Frank Butcher]

Off the top of my head:

It’s a Wonderful Life
Schindler’s List
Shawshank Redemption
JFK
Goodfellas

Standard stuff really that most people would have seen.

If you’re looking for something more recent, I was coerced into watching Bullet Train the other day. Didn't think it would be for me but found it really entertaining.

I’ve watched Paris, Texas four times just for the soundtrack.

Damn it, I should have put Bladerunner in as well. A truly wondrous cinematic marvel.

 

[Alan Turing]

Lord of the Rings - Return of the King
Where Eagles Dare
The Imitation Game
All The President’s Men
The Bank Job

(although, ask again in a few weeks, and some of the above would change - I think it’s a mood thing)

 

[PL2 3DQ]

Clint Eastwood films would fill my top 5, top 10 etc so outside of CE ...

Con Air
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
The Magnificent Seven (1960)
Django Unchained
Crimson Tide

It's definitely a mood thing.

 

[Mat]

Leon
Constantine
Primer
Good Bad Ugly
Usual Suspects

My list will change tomorrow for sure.

 

[American Pilgrim]

Blazing Saddles
Boondock Saints
Apocalypse Now
Shaun of the Dead
Deerhunter

Blazing Saddles
Boondock Saints
Apocalypse Now
Shaun of the Dead
Deerhunter

I wanted Shaun of the Dead as well.

 

[Quinny]

Leon
Constantine
Primer
Good Bad Ugly
Usual Suspects

My list will change tomorrow for sure.

Leon was hovering just outside my top 5. Jean Reno was brilliant in that as well as in The Big Blue (and they're both Luc Besson directed films).

 

[Bernie Bernbaum]

5 off the top of my head:-
The Third Man
The Life And Death Of Colonel Blimp
Der Himmel Uber Berlin
