Top 5 MOVIES

The Adventurer · 02-23-2007, 11:36 AM

I know it is very hard to choose only 5 movies...but try to enumerate only 5 movies in the preference order of your own.

My top 5 movies:

1 Indiana Jones
2 Star Wars
3 Forrest Gump
4 Gladiator
5 The Last of the Mohicans

The Adventurer · 02-23-2007, 12:13 PM

Short add: the series are count like one!

Baron Brunwald · 02-23-2007, 12:54 PM

Star Wars
Indiana Jones
Lord of the Rings
Harry Potter
Pirates of the Caribbean

...which doesn't even begin to scratch the surface.
I have too many favorite movies. Top 25 would be better suited for me.

ClintonHammond · 02-23-2007, 12:57 PM

I could no more pick just 5 movies than I could pick just 50 foods... or 500 songs....

The Adventurer · 02-23-2007, 01:21 PM

LOL...I know that is very hard...that is the catch...

Dr.Sartorius · 02-23-2007, 02:46 PM

How about a Top 50 Favorite Movies list?

The Top 5 of my Top 50 would look something like this:

As much as this thread has been done (along with most) I'll respond; however I will screw the 5 rule because it's impossible.

Indy Trilogy (hope this isn't cheating)
Tombstone
The Good the Bad The Ugly
Chicken Run
Pale Rider
Unforgiven
The Ghost And The Darkness
Shawshank Redemption
The Incredibles
Dirty Harry Series
Pirates Of The Caribbean
Toy Story
Hidalgo
Waking Ned Devine
Mummy movies
Gunga Din
and so on
and so on
and so on

ClintonHammond · 02-23-2007, 04:20 PM

So this may as well be locked...

Why not lump it into one of the similar threads that already exist?

Vlad Dracula · 02-23-2007, 11:06 PM

Dracula (1931)
The Wolf Man
Frankenstein (1931)
Bride of Frankenstein

How do I become goth?

Viper · 02-23-2007, 11:39 PM

How about top 5 movies besides Indiana Jones, because 9 out of ten people will probably pick that as number one, and 9.999 out of ten people will have it in their list....

And I just realised I hardly watch any other movies....
Here are some, in no particular order:
Black Hawk Down (probably my fav besides IJ)
Platoon
Mr. and Mrs. Smith
Star Wars
The Punisher
The Transporter

The majority of my selections stray away from being popular among the general public or being considered to be high quality movies and are mainly films I simply enjoy, regardless of what others think of it. As most of you have done, I am disgarding the Indiana Jones trilogy and am simply putting the following films.

1. Sahara
2. Mummy series
3. Tomb Raider series
4. To Whom the Bell Tolls
5. GI Jane

Even a man who is pure at heart, and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright.

JEEP · 02-26-2007, 08:21 AM

Cassablance
The Maltese Falcon
Raiders of the Lost Ark
El Cid (the 1962 film - not the cartoon)
Temple of Doom

Congratulations.

I don't think we'll be seeing SAHARA or GI JANE on anyone's Top 5 Movies list anytime soon.

René Belloq · 03-04-2007, 05:21 AM

Just watched Spartacus (1960). You can now add that movie to my Top 5 list. Peter Ustinov as Lentulus Batiatus was the standout performance for me. Also great music by Alex North.

Bjorn Heimdall · 03-04-2007, 05:38 PM

Of the top of my head...

Memento
Raiders of the Lost Ark
The Philadelphia Story
Casablanca
Poltergeist

Oh and if Spellbound is as great as I remember it from 10 years ago, It's up there with these.

Baron Brunwald · 03-04-2007, 07:03 PM

I'm pretty confident that 300 is going to be added to my list soon too.

The Adventurer · 03-05-2007, 03:01 AM

Same here

...I already watched the trailer for many times and I like it much! THIS IS SPARTAAA

Crazy-Heart · 03-09-2007, 04:45 PM

I'm Spartacus.

Instead of limiting to 5 movies, I'll list my all-time favorite movie of a genre and notable runner-ups. I could never compile a list of movies as being my favorite and keeping it as low as 5, 10, 15 or even 50. The runner-ups are listed in the order of which I like them most.

Favorite Historical Drama: Saving Private Ryan
Runner-ups: Gladiator, Platoon

Favorite Crime Drama: Leon The Professional
Runner-ups: Goodfellas, The Godfather, The Untouchables

Favorite Comedy: Dumb and Dumber
Runner-ups: Wedding Crashers, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Robin Hood Men in Tights, Jay and Silent Bob movies

Favorite Action: Indiana Jones
Runner-ups: Batman Begins, Spidey, The Mummy, Pirates of the Caribbean, Sky Captain

Favorite Sci-Fi: Planet of the Apes (the original one)
Runner-ups: Jurassic Park, Star Trek Generations and Star Trek First Contact

Favorite Fantasy: Star Wars (yes, it's a fantasy that happens to be set in outer space)
Runner-ups: The Chronicles of Narnia, The Lord of the Rings, Labyrinth, The Wizard of Oz

Favorite Animation: The Lion King
Runner-ups: Toy Story 1 & 2, The Incredibles, Monster's Inc

Favorite Foreign: City of God
Runner-up: Life is Beautiful

That is by no means a comprehensive list (there are genres I thought of I didn't bother to include), but I didn't feel quite as limited doing it that way than I would have by listing only 5 films.
