I'll use this as the 5 films I will stop to watch anytime one of them is on:

Top Gun
A Few Good Men
Godfather
Die Hard
Predator

These aren't perfect, but situationally they are perfect to me

There's no such thing as a perfect film but gun to head I'd plead for Casablanca.

It's not the greatest film of all time but it just has that something you can't describe. It's to the point, dialogue is great, look is great, story is great.



It has something for everybody: little comic touches, action/adventure for the guys, romance for the ladies.

Can't stick to 5. There's no such thing as a perfect movie, but these are movies where I think that the director perfectly pulled off their vision for a movie.


Dark Knight
Crazy Stupid Love
Mad Max: Fury Road
Dredd
Prestige
Jaws
Heat
Jurassic Park
L.A. Confidential
CA: Winter Soldier

I havent seen this epic trilogy mentioned so these 3 blockbusting films were critically acclaimed and received the equal amount of well deserved prestige.
Twins: Arnold and Devito.
Twins 2:Eddie Murphy third twin.
Twins 3:Jackie Chan fourth twin.
