Your favourite movies? TOP 5

You forgot "Ghostbusters"......

Just sayin'.

Just 5 is a bit cruel theres just so many really good films that deserve a mention.

If i sat down for an hour and really though i think i could come up with 50 must-see-movies, who ever said "just name the imdb top 250" pretty much nailed it. Pick any movie from that list and you wont be disappointed.

The Lord of the Rings (All Three)
Raiders of the Lost Ark
American Beauty
Star Trek: In To Darkness
Unforgiven

Just five is difficult, but here are some good movies that I don't think have been mentioned yet

1. Reservoir Dogs (great acting, dialogue, cinematography, soundtrack, story telling)
2. Pulp Fiction (great acting, dialogue, cinematography, soundtrack, story telling)
3. Aliens (great action, dialogue, characters)
4. Start Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (great score , storytelling)
5. The Crow (great visual style, score and soundtrack)
6. Inception (great story and acting)

The other guys (must watch comedy)
5th element

Last samurai
Star treks (new ones)
Dark night

List could go on and on.
Incase u want tv shows too

Sons of anarchy
Walking dead
Game of thrones

I find that some movies, especially ones with big plot reveals that i can only really watch them every decade. Which is such a shame because some of the best movies have just huge twists you cant forget and get that first experience of having your mind blown open - like fight club, all the signs were there but you were too captivated by the actors portraits of the characters and then it hits you. Theres no replacing that.

Total recall? With some movies, id prefer total lack of recall, so i could enjoy it like the first time.

damn you are right, I have NO Bill Murray mentioned. Well all his work, why be picky. STRIPES all the way though.

a reply to: tadaman

Yeah he is one of my favorite actors. I love Groundhog Day as well.

"I love this film, I've seen it over a hundred times"....

I call him Bronco...



EDIT TO ADD:

a reply to: tadaman

I can always watch that one and "What About Bob?" multiple times. Some movies have great rewatchability and Bill Murray's always fall into that category.
