An impossible task, I know. I'm the last to pick favorites or make lists, but movies are so influential and can provide such profound experiences on occasion, so to find my list I probed my personality and worldview to find the sore thumbs sticking up. Here you go, in no particular order:
The Man Who Fell to Earth
School of Rock
Millers Crossing
Natural Born Killers
Before Sunset
I haven't seen many on your list aside from School of Rock. Must go watch more movies.
In no order:
Trainspotting
The Thin Red Line
The Shawshank Redemption
Fellowship of the Ring
Advent Children
I'm not going to pretend like I can narrow them down to 5. So, since I have nothing better to do, here's my favorite movies (the ones I can think of off the top of my head)...
SAW
SAW II
SAW III
SAW IV
Identity
1408

Hmm.. Off the top of my head, here's my top 5 list, no particular order:
The Crow (The sequels are awful though. Brandon Lee must be turning in his grave)
Equilibrium
Braveheart
Gladiator
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
EDIT: I just have to toss in Band of Brothers in here. I know it's more of a mini series, but I just can't leave it out
The Village?Quote:
