Another new game: Top 5

Jump to Comments

Name your top 5 all-time favorite movies.
I said “favorite,” mind you. I know I don’t think my favorite five are necessarily the five BEST movies of all time… but they appeal to me.
Have at it.

(P.S. Like or dislike the new format?)

  • Narrowing it down to five is tough… I mean REALLY tough.

    Silent Running
    Fried Green Tomatoes
    The Patriot
    Schindler’s List
    The Shawshank Redemption

    (honorable mentions)
    Amistad
    Regarding Henry
    The Seven Samurai
    The Muppet Movie
    Glory
    The Color Purple

    I like the new format.

  • Lord of the Rings trilogy
    Animal House
    You Only Live Twice
    Godzilla: Final Wars
    Monty Python and the Holy Grail

    All of those are movies I watch over and over and just plain enjoy. There are a lot of movies I could have listed: Alien, Aliens, True Grit, Casino Royale, the first three Star Wars flicks, Raiders of the Lost Ark. My list likely would be different if asked a month ago, and probably will be different I’m asked a month from now.

  • At this moment in time …

    The 13th Warrior
    The Godfather
    Apocalypse Now
    Magnolia
    Fight Club

  • To Sir, With Love
    The Wizard of Oz
    Gargoyles (the 70s? movie with bad special effects)
    Gargantuan
    Arsenic and Old Lace

  • For some reason … i found this tough:

    Star Wars Trilogy (original)
    Rocky 1, 2, 3, and the last one
    Meet Joe Black
    Hoosiers
    Liar Liar

  • Welcome back, Clark — and don’t feel bad about having trouble with this category. I’m just now getting around to posting a list.

    In no particular order:
    “Peter Pan” (Jeremy Sumpter version)
    “Dead Again”
    “The 13th Warrior”
    “Amadeus”
    “Ferris Buehler’s Day Off”

    Honorable mentions go to “Ladyhawke,” “Master and Commander,” “Holy Grail,” “Princess Bride,” “Howl’s Moving Castle,” “Grand Hotel,” “Braveheart” and “The Dresser.” OH! And “Strange Brew.” And Branaugh’s “Henry V.” I think that’ll do it for now.

  • Indiana Jones Series, The Pirates of the Caribbean Series
    The Star Wars Series
    Caddyshack
    Blazing Saddles
    The Shawshank Redemption

    I picked these as my favorites movies however, I have seen a lot of movies that I really have enjoyed over the years so my list would be really long.

  • Clark! Man, I thought you dumped your computer into a vat of gooey, bubbling acid …
