Top 5 fav movies of all time

I think Silver Bullet's movies are just fine. Granted I haven't seen Run Lola Run or all of Lawrence of Arabia. Its really, really hard to choose just five movies. I think I can only state my favorite movie of all time: The Wizard of Oz

lol I no, silver bullets choices were all valid contenders.

I know that after i post this, im gonna thionk of SO many better movis to put on but ne way... btw, these are no paticular order, just by top 5 movies

1) LoTR
2) Boiler Room
3) Goodfellas
4) Scarface
5) Lost and Delirious

other honorable mentions: Requiem For A Dream, Braveheart, LA Confidential, American Beauty, and Reservoir Dogs

Mine aren't valid 'contenders', although, sure, I'm glad you think that I've got relatively good taste.

This is a favorite films thread, not 'best' films thread.
It's completely opinionated. No competition at all.

There is a thread around here somewhere called "Best and Favorite", which might interest some of you.

I happen to think that "best of" lists are completely opinionated as well.

1. The Wizard of Oz
2. Moulin Rouge!
3. The Nightmare Before Christmas
4. Ferris Bueller's Day Off
5. Ghost World

Yeah, but you could say that the movies mentioned in 'best of' lists are contenders.

In no order:

- Bad Boy Bubby
- Audition
- The Big Lebowski
- Evil Dead 2
- Requiem for a Dream

pulp fiction it's a must have. along with any other quinten tarentino movie. that guy is great.

My top 5 in no particular order:

Shawshank Redemption
Memento
Good Fellas
Say Anything
Rushmore

Your reading my mind man

1) Sling Blade- this movie is in a league of its own. It is at once poetic, religious, subtle, riveting, Shakespearian, funny, and totally realistic. 'Extraordinary things happening to ordinary people' has never been so well-portrayed.

2) GoodFellas- an epic good time. So much is going on, for such a long time, that you can watch the film a dozen times in one month, and not be bored. The best combination of quality and entertainment of any existing film.

3) Raging Bull- a flawless character study of a fascinating, yet tragic, historical figure. The performances are breathtaking, and the B&W mode makes it even more realisitic and gripping.

4) True Romance- the greatest modern American crime drama. Contains the most intense scenes of any movie I have witnessed. Controversial, gut-wrenching and politically incorrect all at once. Don't let the idea of Christian Slater as the lead steer you away. This movie is an American original. It is brutal and pure attitude-- without wallowing in MTV, over-the-top, stylized-garbage imagery that infects most of today's efforts.

5) Cool Hand Luke- so this is the tale of a born loser? I love it. Very, very few soul searing dramas this good have ever been made. The subtle Christ motifs throughout the film add a great dimension to an already poignant and dark tale. The 'man with no eyes' has become an all too recognizable figure of silent authoritarian brutality. Kennedy won an Oscar for best supporting actor. A must see that fails to look dated.

my top five are:

1. meet joe black
2. unbreakable
3. moulin rouge
4. girl interupted
5. the long kiss goodnight

also recently i got all the godfather films...they are cooool. and i love american beauty. got vertigo the other day too and was impressed by that.

i dont think a top five is enough. definatly need 10.
