  • Big Lebowski for 1-5

    • The Big Lebowski is a feminist masterpiece where every man is a buffoon and every woman is willing to go as far as cutting off their own toe to get what they want.

    1. The Godfather.
    2. Blade Runner.
    3. Scarface.
    4. The good, the bad, and the ugly.
    5. The fight club.

    No particular order, these are some of my favorites.

    Alien and Aliens could be there too.

    And a bunch of animates movies like Ghost in the Shell, Akira, A silent voice, Grave for the Fireflies, The Tale of Princes Kaguya, Princess Mononoke, Howls moving Castle.

    Also Toy Story 2, Shrek 2, The Prince of Egypt, Fantasia, Klaus, Into the Spiderverse.

    1. Back to the Future
    2. Wall-E
    3. Into The Spider-verse
    4. Interstellar
    5. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
    • Young Frankenstein
    • The Princess Bride
    • Blazing Saddles
    • The Matrix
    • The Shawshank Redemption

    It's a toss-up on a couple of those. The Blues Brothers could easily make the list, as could Pulp Fiction, Terminator 2, Alien, Interstellar, and I'm sure there are many others. I will abandon what I'm doing to watch any one of these, if they come on, probably 90% of the time.

  • I'll throw my hat in the ring and give my list in no particular order:

    Seven Samurai

    Borat

    Close Encounters of the Third Kind

    War of the Worlds (2005)

    The Godfather

    • This means something

    • @Euraru
      Those are some great choices. I haven't seen Close Encounters yet though. And I loved War of the Worlds.

      • Close Encounters is amazing and iirc some of the plot points were taken from reality.

    • Seven Samurai is an amazing movie. It set the groundwork for so much more to follow.

    • Yeah we could hang

    • I want to know more about why you would put War of the Worlds in your top 5. I am not hating on you. Purely perplexed because I've never seen anyone mention this movie since it came out. I rewatched it last year, but I don't remember much to write home about.

      • I was 8 years old when I first saw the film and it scared me so much it left in me a permanent fear of aliens and once I got older I grew to love the film and aliens in general.

        Tbh the battle on the hill is enough to make it a great film for me because it involves the ultimate dilemma: which child do you save?

        It's a choice no parent should ever have to make and the entire scene in general shows how hopeless it was against the Tripods.

  • I don't have something like that, but every time this kind of question is asked, City of God (2002) always comes to mind.

    • Same here. Great movie, great soundtrack.

      And Children of Men. That’s my “of” favorites.

      I’m a sucker for the Jerk, Strange Brew, and Hot Fuzz for comedies

  • The Dark Knight

    The Shining

    LOTR Trilogy (ROTK if I have to pick one)

    The Nice Guys swapping for In Bruges

    Gladiator

  • I'll do "so far" instead of "all time" because all time has not yet elapsed, but I'll shut up and list the current roster:

    • Werckmeister Harmonies
    • Fellowship of the Ring
    • The Dreamers
    • The Wind Rises
    • L'eclisse

    Honorable mentions go to Casino Royale, Ashes and Diamonds, The Empire Strikes Back, Paprika, and Vanilla Sky.

    • Star Trek: First Contact
    • Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring
    • October Sky
    • 12 Angry Men
    • It's a Wonderful Life

  • Monty Python and the holy grail

    And all three LOTR movies. Extended of course.

  • Super hard to limit to just 5 but here's the first that came to mind: Star Wars: A New Hope, The Matrix, Delicatessen, The Science of Sleep, The Fifth Element.

    Any of the following could easily go somewhere on the above list :) Blade Runner, 12 Monkeys, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Brazil, The Hudsucker Proxy, Groundhog Day, Dark City, Inception & Intersteller (if only it didn't have the whole love is a force that transcends dimensions and can be used to communicate across time and space stuff?!)

    • Lord Of The Rings (prefer Two Towers)
    • Back to The Future (1 but 3 rocks too)
    • Blade Runner 2049

    • The Color of Money
    • The Godfather Part 1
