If you could save 5 movies, what would they be?

Theres a question that asks what book would you bring along to a deserted island. Now, I ask a different question- Which 5 movies you love so much that you would save them? They may be classics or personal favorites.

Mine:

The Wizard of Oz
The Passion of Joan of Arc
2001
Citizen Kane
The Nightmare Before Christmas

Terminator 2
Under Siege
Goodfellas
Magnolia
The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring

I just want to take a second to say that I teared up on and off for about 2 weeks after the first time I saw Citizen Kane.

Cast Away(Since I'm on a deserted island)
Taxi Driver
Fight Club
Wayne's World 1 & 2
Dawn of the Dead (1978)

I guess the top 5 film in my favourite film list.

Obviously all five would need to have a significant repeatability factor -

Godfather
Midnight Run
Inglorious Basterds
Dr. Strangelove
It's a Wonderful Life

The Ten Commandments
American Graffiti
Back To The Future
It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World
The Shawshank Redemption

1 kill bill vol 1
2 kill bill vol 2
3 pulp fiction
4 reservoir dogs
5 for dawn tell dusk

i guess you could say i am kinda a Quentin Tarantino fan

The Sound of Music
Heat
White Christmas
The Messenger: The Joan of Arc Story
The Avengers (2012)

That's a great question. I'd want to take a few different kinds of movies, so this list is by no means my five favorite movies:
Thriller: Memento
Romance: Casablanca
Crime/Mob: The Godfather: Part II
Horror: Psycho
Comedy: About A Boy (also, it has Rachel Weisz in it who is my future wife...after I fight James Bond for her hand...this also ignores the fact that I'm married.)

The films i'd save:

West Side Story

French Connection

Midnight Cowboy

Easy Rider

Gimme Shelter

Dirty Harry (the first one)

What do you mean by save, like you dont want anyone making a remake of your fav movies?

Ghost Rider
The Messenger
The Omen
2012
Prometheus

1. Howard The Duck
2. Howard The Duck
3. Howard The Duck
4. Howard The Duck
5. 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain

+1

If the world (civilization) were ending and I needed to save 5 films for future generations to examine about our lives, or aliens, these would be my five.

*Note* I do not particularly like all these movies

1. 2001: A Space Odyssey
2. The Tree of Life
3. Schindler's List
4. Life in a Day
5. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Also, if I were to include something other than a movie, it would be Planet Earth
