My 5 all-time favorites:

1. Pulp Fiction - I don't like going to theaters too often, cause it's so damn expensive. But when I first saw Pulp Fiction in 1994 at the theater, I went back 5 more times in the next two weeks to see it again. My friends and I loved it that much. It became our movie when we were 15 years old, and there's many fond memories I have just thinking about Pulp Fiction. Whenever I watch it now, I think of my friends in high school and how we used to recite all the lines. Not only is it a great movie, but it's nostalgic for me.

Also, I lost my virginity while watching Pulp Fiction on VHS. So naturally it's a movie I can never forget. And I have to give it props. It's hands down my all-time favorite movie.

2. Braveheart - It's one of the few movies that can make my eyes tear up. That's why I never watch it with anyone else.

3. The Deer Hunter - De Niro's best starring role, IMO (Christopher Walken's too). I never get bored of watching this movie.

4. Goodfellas - The best movie De Niro was in.

5. Kill Bill Volume 1 - I love this movie. With Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill on my list, you must think I'm a Tarantino fan boy. But I'm not. I'm an Uma Thurman fan boy.

It's much too hard to pick and it always seems like the list is forever changing. If I had to, I would probably say Adaptation was my favorite film, just for the great emotional connection it made with me. These four are always on top, though.

Love that road warrior poster!!!

My fave movie based on how much I enjoy it and rewatch it and the special features that go with it, would have to be Aliens.

I mean come on, I bought a $150 dropship and APC to go on my shelf!
