That has changed now. Borat (like most comedies after 10 times) has lost it's taste & is far down the list.Papa Jones said:I respect everyone's choice, but how can you put Borat in front of Indy
New List:
1. Empire Strikes Back
2. Last Crusade
3. Die Hard
4. Terminator 2
5. Raiders of the Lost Ark
6. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
7. The Dark Knight (Would be #6 if I wasn't the huge Indy fan that I am)
8. Iron Man
9. Spider-Man 2
10. Batman Begins

It's tough to pick only 5. Here's my shot at it:
1) Raiders of the Lost Ark
2) The Empire Strikes Back
3) The Dark Crystal
4) Predator
5) Monty Python and the Holy Grail

I went through a cannibal phase once (movies, that is, not eating people). Deodato's Cannibal Holocaust was accompanied by all the mythology that it contained actual cannibalism. I think I only watched it once, then sold it. I did keep The Mountain of the Cannibal God, though, as that one had Ursula Andress in it.

It's all right, I'm a vegetarian now (eating vegetables, that is, not eating vegetarians!)
I've done this before, but tastes evolve...
The top two, which are always on the list:
The Apartment (Wilder, 1960)
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (Ford, 1962)
And then, these ones are usually vying for the other three spots:
Brief Encounter (Lean, 1945)
It's a Wonderful Life (Capra, 1946)
12 Angry Men (Lumet, 1957)
8 1/2 (Fellini, 1963)
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (Nichols, 1966)
Raiders of the Lost Ark (Spielberg, 1981)
Ratatouille (Bird, 2007)
Inglourious Basterds (Tarantino, 2009)
And, well, adding those 8 to the first 2 is, at the moment anyhow, probably my Top 10, at least for a Top 10 in which no directors are repeated. And I don't think there's a single actor repeated from one film to another, interestingly. And note that fully half of them are from the same 10 year period, from 1957 to 1966.

1. The Empire Strikes Back.
2. Raiders of the Lost Ark.
3. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
4. Star Wars.
5. Band of Brothers. *I'm counting this as a film for the sake of this topic.
I won't bother with posting series as these are my true sequential film favorites.

And because I can't limit myself to five...

Trust me, this list (especially 6-10) will change again in the next year or so...

Nice list, Attila, especially "Liberty Valance" and "12 Angry Men", however, why "Ratatouille" ranks among them is a mystery.Attila the Professor said:
Noted...but you're forgetting about Jimmy-baby who is the star of 2 of them.Attila the Professor said:

I guess I'll do an upgrade from three years ago.
Not necessarily in order, and I take it these are our own favorite films. Because the movies listed bellow are based on merits other than cultural significance; significance to me. Of course, the list is subject to change, and not set in stone.
Pulp Fiction - 1994
Raiders of the Lost Ark - 1981
Yellow Submarine - 1968
Invasion of the Body Snatchers -1956
Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan - 2006
