ALIEN and ALIENS (yeah, cheating a bit here -- if I had to pick just one, I couldn't) 2. JURASSIC PARK 3. The Apu trilogy (again, cheating, I suppose -- if I had to pick just one, then PATHER PANCHALI) 4. BLADE RUNNER 5. PROFESSIONE: REPORTER ...or something.    Posted:   Dec 22, 2020 - 4:01 AM     By:   Rick15   (Member) Rated based on nostalgia, rewatchability and the fact that they’re just awesome movies... - Back to the Future - The Empire Strikes Back - Life of Brian - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - Home Alone    Posted:   Dec 22, 2020 - 4:59 AM     By:   Prince Damian   (Member) 1. Ben Hur 2. Good, the Bad and the Ugly 3. The Wind n Lion 4. The 3 Musketeers 5. Moon Warriors    Posted:   Dec 22, 2020 - 5:09 AM     By:   Rameau   (Member) If you really like films (& I've loved them since the mid-fifties), then you can't really pick just 5, 50 maybe, but if I narrow it to just the sixties, I can do a little list that makes some kind of sense: What A Carve Up! (1961) The Great Escape (1963) Jason & The Argonauts (1963) The President's Analyst (1967) The Wild Bunch (1969)    Posted:   Dec 22, 2020 - 7:00 AM     By:   Nedmerrill   (Member) The Swimmer Straw Dogs One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest Apocalypse Now Dead Of Night    Posted:   Dec 22, 2020 - 7:13 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) This would be much easier if this was favorite five films per year or even decade.    Posted:   Dec 22, 2020 - 7:45 AM     By:   lars.blondeel   (Member) I'll take 5 different genres, not to make it too boring Drama : Once Upon A Time In America Action/Adventure : Raiders Of The Lost Ark Western : The Wild Bunch Horror/terror : Jaws Family : La Meglio Gioventu (The Best Of Youth) Nice to see 'Sorcerer' and 'Empire Of The Sun' mentioned here, 2 very underrated films    Posted:   Dec 22, 2020 - 8:04 AM     By:   Nightingale   (Member) In no order. 1. Back to the Future 2. National Treasure 3. Point Break (original) 4. Star Trek-The Motion Picture 5. Kelly's Heroes or JAWS or Heat or The Untouchables or Lethal Weapon or Apocalypse Now or To Live and Die in L.A. or..... (Number 5 varies with my mood, but the other 4 are locked tight as my 4 favorite)    Posted:   Dec 22, 2020 - 8:32 AM     By:   Nicolai P. Zwar   (Member) These lists obviously vary, and it always and highly depends on the moment someone asks, but if you do these lists now and then over the years, it is always interesting to see if movies change. So "favorites" -- as I understand it here -- are not necessarily "best" movies... favorites are those movies you never mind seeing again and probably have watched multiple times before. "Favorites" are those movies you force on your dates and potential mates... "favorites" are those movies that you buy, and probably buy multiple times if a better, remastered version comes out. I have put some thought into this some time ago for other reasons, so I can now more or less quickly pick "5" from among a larger roster of clear favorites, who are not weighed against each other. Just 5 favorite films that are very dear to me. With these things in mind, my favorite five movies (in chronological order) are: 1. THE BIG COUNTRY (William Wyler, 1958) 2. C'ERA UNA VOLTA IL WEST (Sergio Leone, 1968) 3. CHINATOWN (Roman Polanski, 1974) 4. BLADE RUNNER (Ridley Scott, 1982) 5. SE7EN (David Fincher, 1995) As always, favorite movies are subject to change without notice.    Posted:   Dec 22, 2020 - 8:32 AM     By:   Nicolai P. Zwar   (Member) Mine are JURASSIC PARK, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, JAWS, E.T. and EMPIRE OF THE SUN. Let me guess your favorite director. :-)    Posted:   Dec 22, 2020 - 11:42 AM     By:   henry   (Member) Mine are JURASSIC PARK, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, JAWS, E.T. and EMPIRE OF THE SUN. Let me guess your favorite director. :-) Hey how are you? Yes, Spielberg used to be my favorite director but now it's George Miller.    Posted:   Dec 22, 2020 - 12:21 PM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) You are so fickle Henry lol    Posted:   Dec 22, 2020 - 1:23 PM     By:   Prince Damian   (Member) As always, favorite movies are subject to change without notice. My first three aren't.    Posted:   Dec 22, 2020 - 2:05 PM     By:   jenkwombat   (Member) Jeez, henry, you make it difficult, having to narrow it down so much. But here goes: 1) STAR WARS (1977) 2) THE GODFATHER (1972) 3) ALIEN (1979) 4) JAWS (1975) 5) KING KONG (1933) And I'll break the rules a little and add some "Honorable Mentions": BACK TO THE FUTURE (1985) AMERICAN GRAFFITI (1973) A HARD DAY'S NIGHT (1964) ALIENS (1986) INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM (1984) THE GODFATHER PART II (1974) JFK (1991) DUCK SOUP (1933) THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY (1966) THE WIZARD OF OZ (1939)    Posted:   Dec 22, 2020 - 2:10 PM     By:   henry   (Member) Jeez, henry, you make it difficult, having to narrow it down so much.

Yes, Spielberg used to be my favorite director but now it's George Miller. I'm just super tired because I just moved and I have both books and CDs, so I'm tired. George Miller hit it out of the ballpark with MAD MAX: FURY ROAD. How are you?    Posted:   Dec 22, 2020 - 8:17 PM     By:   ZardozSpeaks   (Member) Ingmar Bergman's The Silence Onibaba by Kaneto Shindô Alain Jessua's La vie à l'envers Night Train by Jerzy Kawalerowicz John Boorman's Zardoz    Posted:   Dec 22, 2020 - 9:54 PM     By:   barryfan   (Member) All you people are wrong! lol The CORRECT top 5 lol 1.
