Just for grins (and to avoid working) I tallied the most mentioned films. Here are the top ten (well, twelve).

Jaws (10 mentions)
Alien (6 mentions)
Ben-Hur (6 mentions)
Lawrence of Arabia (6 mentions)
Raiders of the Lost Ark (6 mentions)
The Good the Bad and the Ugly (6 mentions)
The Godfather (5 mentions)
Star Wars (5 mentions) Probably more than that if you include all the sequals.
Back to the Future (4 mentions)
NORTH BY NORTHWEST (4 mentions)
The Empire Strikes Back (4 mentions)
The Wild Bunch (4 mentions)

There you have it -- the 12 greatest movies ever made.

My personal Top 5 would include Ben-Hur, Giant, Spartacus, North By Northwest, and How The West Was Won.

Thomas you mentioned How the West Was Won, never saw the movie but I did find the Rhino 2 CD soundtrack at my local Goodwill for a $1. Great soundtrack that needs a re-issue.

Limiting to five is so hard...

(1) Secret of NIMH- Animation
(2) Wrath Of Khan- Sci Fi
(3) Rocketeer- Action/Adventure
(4) My Favorite Year - Comedy
(5) Quiz Show -Drama


I really need to revise my list-

(1) Secret of NIMH
(2) Wrath Of Khan
(3) Star Wars (77)
(4) The Rocketeer
(5) Glory

Again top five is impossible.

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)


A year on & I'd replace just two:

Land Of The Pharaohs (1956) - I needed an epic in there.
What A Carve Up! (1961)
The Great Escape (1963)
The Wild Bunch (1969)
Catch-22 (1970)

As I posted, I'd prefer a top 50 (1000?) list.
