Give me your top five

oh yeah I just remembered, Road to Perdition is such an awesome movie, definitely one of my all-time favourites
 
  • Saving Private Ryan
  • Cast Away
  • Philadelphia
  • Matrix Part I and only I!
  • Enemy at the Gates

bye!
 
Too many movies to narrow to top 5...

1. Any Clint Eastwood movie
2. Any Robin Williams movie
3. All of the recent LOTR movies although the final movie was not as well made in my opinion.
4. Any pornography.
5. All Naked Gun movies.

That about sums up SOME of my favorites.
 
1. Eyes Wide Shut
2. Mulholland Drive
3. 8 1/2
4. Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
5. Blue Velvet

Gee, and I didn't even break the "rules."
 
Pornography Rocks!

Especially the stuff with animals in it.
My horse likes those the best!

Blade Runner is such an over-praised movie. i mean it has a meaningful message at the end, but the movie itself is dull, boring and at no stage does it even attempt to lift itself over the mundane. does anyone agree? i mean movies like The Fifth Element are whacked and only appeal to certain tastes, but at least it tried to be different.....Blade Runner was barely average

Hah!

Have you seen the Rob Zombie music video for "Living Dead Girl"? It's basically a four-minute remake of Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.

And what about Eraserhead?

Hadn't seen the Rob Zombie video... didn't he do something modeled after Clockwork Orange as well? I seem to remember something with the Durango. As for Caligari, what can I say... I have a near-fetish when it comes to silent German Expressionist films.

<i>Eraserhead</i> was a close call -- probably a tie with <i>Blue Velvet</i> for me. <i>Eraserhead</i> certainly does win out in the cult classic department, especially considering how much I paid for my copy.

Obviously, it would be much easier for me to name my top five directors rather than films. ;)

Excuse me, but I think you just violated your own rule. I know that you have too much integrity to do that, so I'll ignore #9. Besides, it makes no sense to accept Fellini, Almodovar, and "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon," but exclude all the fabulous movies from England, starting with the early Hitchcocks and Agatha Christie adaptations. Oops I guess I violated the rule too. I'll stop if you will. ^_^

You people are way too serious. Hardly any comedies and I didn't see a single musical on anybody's list. Lighten up!

My list:

Bedazzled (The original 1960's British masterpiece, better dialog and better humor than the remake)
Being There (It's a crime that Peter Sellers never won an Oscar)
The Dark Crystal (Lots of good sci-fi and fantasy listed here, this one has a good story, universal truths, and the best alien milieu ever filmed)
Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life" ("Every Sperm is Sacred" is one of the best production numbers ever staged)
Yellow Submarine (a tough choice between this one and "The Wizard of Oz")
Click to expand...

^great list!!^

ok, mine are (the ones i don't think have been mentioned):

'What Dreams May Come'
'Silent Running'
'American Pop' (Ralph Bakshi)
'What About Bob?'
'Electroglide in Blue'

oh, and for my artsy-fartsy choice: Felini's 'LaStrada'
 
Frisbinator:

Who the hell do you think you are with your rules? You sound like a goddamned fascist!

Let people choose their own top 5.

Yeah, he did a song for the soundtrack for the Rollerball remake, and he got the original Milk Bar set.
