5) brief encounter

I can't think of a 5th

Will

When I was five some bastard pushed me of a climbing frame and I was paralysed for six months. I was in a private room with only one video tape the goonies. I must of watched it five times a day. I know the words to the entire film (not kidding).

HEY YOU GUYS !!!!

[rhegedus]

Soooo many to chose form - I suppose it depends on what mood you're in.

In no order:

Dirty Harry
El Dorado
Big Lebowski
Zulu
Goldfinger

Cape Fear (Robert Mitchum)
Blame It On Rio
Blazing Saddles
Goodfellas
Gunfight At The OK Coral

p.s. would have put Apollo 13 in there too, but I'm not sure if I could watch it again.......

[SLK001]

Here's my five, no particular order:

1. The Wizard of Oz
2. Ben Hur
2a. On a Clear Day You Can See Forever
3. Captain Horatio Hornblower
3a. Return of the Jedi
4. Dr. Strangelove
5. Groundhog Day

[g_shocker182]

Shawshank Redemption
Office Space
Matrix Series
Clerks
Braveheart
Gladiator
Oceans Eleven

I'll post more when I think of them.

[rallynavvie]

1. Ronin
2. Schindler's List
3. Ikiru
4. Monte Python's...Grail
5. Ran

I love the style of Ronin: the faded colors, fantastic car chases, cool gun fights, overall great acting, and bystanders getting gunned down (hey it would happen if it were real, right?). As for #2 I don't think I could ever watch this film without bawling at the end; I'm eagerly anicipating its DVD release early next year. I love Kurosawa films but Ikiru is my favorite; this one has a tearful ending to it as well, but an uplifting story. Holy Grail is my favorite Monte Python movie (though Meaning of Life is in my top 10) as it can still make me spit soda out my nose when watching it. Another Kurosawa flick in my top 5, his remake of King Lear; again this has a tear-jerker of an ending but the whole story is of treachery and deceipt. I must like sad stories

[pizdets]

too many to choose from but i would say

Matrix
scarface
terminator (all)
casino
5th element

[manosteele12]

Pulp fiction
montey python and the holy grail
spirited away
super troopers
kill bill

[tgpo]

Snatch
Fight Club
Breakfast Club
Willy WOnka and the Chocolate Factory
Blues Brothers

[Devanshu]

Clerks

Are you talking about the show on comedy central?

Gladiator
Oceans Eleven

Forgot those two...I'll substitue:

1. Godfather
2. Scarface
3. Gladiator
4. A beautiful mind
5. Oceans eleven

[lordsmurf]

My top 5 are movies that made me think and imagine...

Seven
Fight Club
Matrix
Oceans Eleven (new version)
Eyes Wide Shut

... and I'm not even a Brad Pitt fan (and I can't stand Clooney or Keanu), he was just in some good movies

this is hard... because I also like...
Hannibal trilogy
Indiana Jones trilogy
Back to the Future trilogy
Matrix trilogy
Lord of the Rings trilogy
Kickboxer
Laurel & Hardy movies
The Shadow movies
Day of the Triffids
A Clockwork Orange

.. I'm not a fan of comedy movies, I have tv and radio shows for comedy

[tgpo]

That's one good thing about newer Brad Pitt movies. Your girl wants to see it for him, and you wanna see it because it'll probably be a sweet movie.

[SquirrelDip]

I have to agree with tgpo about Brad Pitt - guess he's too much of a "pretty boy" but he's even in three of the top 5 I mentioned above. I have to say that I've liked almost all of the flicks he's been in. Although I really didn't like "The Mexican" - but I really dislike Julia Roberts...

@Devanshu - Clerks is hilarious, definitely worth the rental...

[Hatz]

Lordsmurf said the Back to the Future Trilology.

1 and 2 were great but 3 was so horrible. They should have just made the trilology but kept 3 out of it. I actually own the trilology but haven't opened the 3 one yet........hehehe.

As for my top 5 in no order:

Haggard
Lord of the Rings either one
Seven
Fear of a Black Hat
Any DVD my buddies and I make

Hatz

[pacmania_2001]

Another of my favourite movies that I forgot but recently picked up very cheap on DVD is Strange Brew.

[lordsmurf]

but I really dislike Julia Roberts...

I do too. But she was great in "I Love Trouble" - a movie about investigative reporters (probably one of the only reasons I liked it, journalist that I am). She should not have been in Ocean's Eleven.

[tgpo]

They should have just made the trilology but kept 3 out of it

Then wouldn't have only been a movie and a sequel??? A trilology kinds requires that 3rd movie.

What DVDs do ya'll make??

[Hardcoreruss]

What do you mean make ?

[tgpo]

What do you mean make ?

This:

Any DVD my buddies and I make
