Mr. Bananagrabber Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 1. Cool Runnings2. Apollo 13 3. Great Escape Oh shit. I forgot about those.
Platty Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 1 - The whole Star Wars saga 2 - The Goonies 3 - Tron 4 - Indiana Jones Trilogy 5 - A Clockwork Orange (Not only is this a great film it's also set on Thamesmead where i live) It's very hard to pick just 5 films tho... there are many others i could have put in that list but hmm yeah those are probably my all time favourite....
Enigma Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 Bloodsport with Van Damme. Have probably watched it around 500 times now. Top Secret with Val Kilmer is my all-time favorite comedy. Otherwise Van Damme and Schwarzenegger movies are my favorites.
Noodleman Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 1. Goodfellas - My favourite film of all time, great script, great acting, great directing, Just all round great if you havent seen it watch it now. 2. City Of God - very gripping story and well acted. 3. Clerks - Top notch hilarious stuff. 4. Apocalypse Now - A war film with a twist. 5. Resevior Dogs - Better then Pulp Fiction imo but only just. Aside from Goodfellas being number 1 expect it to change probably daily.
Konfucius Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 1.) The Chronicles of Riddick Director's Cut - I know what most of you will think but I think this movie is highly entertaining and the DC brings the killer figure back a bit. 2.) Cypher - an indy film by Vincenzo Natali (Cube) with a superb Jeremy Northam 3.) Starship Troopers - that film is genius, I like the quotes, the over the top bootcamp, the fight against the bugs, the little propaganda ads... everything 4.) Hero - a really beautiful film, just beautiful 5.) Batman Begins - a brilliant Batman film, the best ever in my opinion and Christian Bale is believable as Batman and Bruce Wayne closing in: 6.) The Matrix - yes, the first one was actually good 7.) The Punisher - it's cruel, it's aggressive and that's why I like it
Colin Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 In no particular order my top 5 are Star Wars Saga - Watching the first three (New Hope and after) when I was a wee kid just made it all magical.....been in love with Star Wars since. Lost in Translation - Perfect film imo. I won't go into details, as I've ranted about it before. Goodfellas - "One day the kids from the neighborhood carried my mother's groceries all the way home. You know why? It was outta respect." Pulp Fiction - Brilliant directing, and totally engrossing. Se7en - A brilliant ending......and this film just plain rocks. Everyone should see it (but not if you're under 18 kiddies). ........there's loads more, but those are the ones that really stand out.
Stocka Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 in no order.. Braveheart Gangs of New York King Kong Rocky series House of the Flying Daggers Lord of the Rings Trilogy 4.) Hero - a really beautiful film, just beautiful Yeah tis a great film, but out of Hero,Crouching Tiger and House of the Flying Daggers, HotFD wins it for me, because I found it very emotional.
Monopolyman Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 5. Jacobs Ladder - Like Donnie Darko but about a Vietnam veteran, and superior in every way imho. 4. The Usual Suspects - Rather good romp. Nice twist at the end. 3. 12 Angry Men - Gripping drama. Nearly 50 years old, but still worth seeing 2. Pulp Fiction - Awesome and original film. Hell, you know what I'm talking about. 1. Goldfinger - Well, any Connery Bond film, really, but Goldfinger just blows everything away, from the Girl in Gold, to the convenient '007' at the end. Best film ever. Honourable mentions to: Donnie Darko Back to the Future Dog Day Afternoon Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill vol. 1.

Meik Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 This thread has been done dozens of times, but i'm going to give the same answer: THE ROCK
Guest Stefkov Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 do we have to do just 5, i dont see it in the title but people done 5 hehe. my favourites in no order are Tron, Willow, Lord of the rings, Sprited Away, Team America, Shaolin Soccer, the Waterboy, The butterfly Effect directors cut where he strangles himself in the womb at the end, its just wierd but cool. can think of any more
Dyson Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 Erm, I'm not much of a film fan, but my top 5 would have to be.. 1. The Matrix [First film was the best, second was utter shite, third was alright] 2. Die Hard 1, 2 and 3. 3. Boondock Saints [i love this film to bits.] 4. Collateral [it's times like these I wish I could spell those long complicated words :P] 5. Erm, Bruce Almighty, I guess. I've seen it a good 7/8 times, and I've laughed each time, so it's good.

The3rdChildren Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 There are loads of movies I like, but in the end there can be only one. Only one that qualifies for the top spot, because I'm bad at ranking stuff. That movie is... WHAT'S GREMLINS, GUY? PLEASE TELL ALL! Gremlins takes place at Christmas in the American town of Kingston Falls. An inventor named Rand Peltzer is traversing Chinatown in search of a Christmas present for his son Billy. When lured downstairs to a seedy store owned by a mysterious old man, Rand happens upon the most unlikely of creatures. A brown and white rodent creature called a Mogwai, who the elderly man's grandson sells to Rand against his grandfather's wishes. He leaves Rand with a warning about Mogwai, listing three rules by which to keep the creature: "Listen, mister. There's three rules you gotta follow. Keep him out of bright light, he hates bright lights. Especially sunlight, it'll kill him. And keep him away from water, don't ever get him wet. But the most important rule, no matter how much he cries... no matter how much he begs... never, don't ever feed him after midnight..." BUT WHY, GUY? WHY DOES GREMLINS WIN IT? Gremlins is so unique. The premise and puppetry, the three rules introduced. They are both genius and ridiculous in concept, and the combination of horror and comedy creates a legendary film. A childhood favourite of mine that has lost absolutely none of it's charm as time has passed. GUY, I HAVEN'T SEEN GREMLINS. HELP ME. I can't help you. You fail miserably.
