Your top 5
 

Time to lay it out there, what're your top 5 favorite movies? It can range from this past year to all time, feel free to give reasons why.

Princess Mononoke (1997)
Apollo 13 (1995)
Monty Python and the Holy Grain (1975)
Princess Bride (1987)
Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (1977)

I actually haven't thought about it for years. The top five I have kept in my head hasn't changed since the 1980's. If I gave it some thought now (20 years later,there might be several changes). Since this is the DVD forum I'll post dvd covers in no particular order:

Do I think these are the best movies ever? No, just my all time favorites.
If the list was udated each of these would at least fall in the top 10 with maybe: Lord of the Rings, Exorcist (I didn't see this until 1990, believe it or not), Glengary Glen Ross, Blues Brothers, Fight Club, Pan's Labyrinth, and maybe Texas Chainsaw Masacre

Passion of Joan of Arc (Dreyer, 1928)
Ordet (Dreyer, 1955)
Bicycle Thieves (De Sica, 1948)
L'Atlante (Vigo, 1934)
Woman Under the Influence (Cassavetes, 1974)


BTW, this should be in the movie forum, not DVD forum.

1. Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
2. Raiders of the Lost Ark
