Your top 5 favorite movies of all time...(difficult)
Posted on 2/2/12 at 12:05 pm
Posted on 2/2/12 at 12:05 pm
I've been thinking about this a lot lately..about what movies I'd put in a top 5 as far as my absolute favorite movies. It's really hard (TWSS) to narrow it down to only 5. For example, my favorite movie growing up was Old Yeller, but now I'm not sure that would make my top 5 (though if it didn't, it would be close). So right now, I think my top five, in no particular order, would look like this:
Dumb and Dumber
The Lion King
The Prestige
Top Gun
Jurassic Park
And remember that it doesn't have to be filled with "great" or "classic" cinema...just your favorite movies, for whatever reasons. I'm interested to see what some people have on their lists, and it's threads like these that often times lead me into watching movies I never even knew about or should've long since seen.

This is extremely difficult.
1. Dumb and Dumber
2. Goodfellas
3. Casino
4. Anchorman
5. Up
I know #5 might seem really weird, but it's the first movie my little girl and I watched together and she still loves to watch it with me any chance she gets. Plus, I really do love me some Disney/Pixar. I would put Disney/Pixar in as a general #5, but Up is special.

Goodfellas
Rocky IV (Love all of 'em, save 5, but if I had to pick one it would be IV)
Dumb and Dumber
Sandlot
Jurassic Park
Very hard list to come up with.

this is hard. Im gonna name 5, but its too hard to order them
The Incredibles
- first class entertainment, and I find the message and themes inspiring
Remains of the Day
- this tore me up when I saw it in the theater, I'll never forget how it made me feel. Plus I have a life-long obsession with Emma Thompson
Glengarry Glen Ross
- hands down the most quotable movie ever, every line is worth remembering. Have probably watched this 100 times.
Shawshank Redemption
- 'nuf said
Die Hard
- perfect entertainment, greatest action flick ever IMO
alright I gotta put a number 6
Topsy-Turvy
- Mike Leigh takes his keen insight into family and human relationships and weaknesses into the world of Gilbert and Sullivan in Victorian England. Simply breathtaking to look at, filled with joy, laughter and intimate human tragedy. I have watched this dozens of times and relished every frame and note of music. I deem it a perfect movie.

Pretty much impossible for me to do. Here are some that I think would make a good argument to be in mine...
1. Seven Samurai/The Hidden Fortress
2. Dial M for Murder/Psycho/The 39 Steps
3. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly/My Darling Clementine/Lonesome Dove/Tombstone
4. Silence of the Lambs/Citizen Kane/No Country for Old Men/The Godfather 1&2/Gone With the Wind/Sin City/Kill Bill 1&2/LOTR
5. Sandlot/Finding Nemo/The Lion King/The Muppet Movie/Dumb and Dumber/Zoolander
Probably some different ones if I had time to think.

Off the top of my head, I'm trying to use movies I just keep watching over and over because I really like them:
Vertigo
Raising Arizona
Reservoir Dogs
Trainspotting
Step Brothers
Don't hold me to this at all.
