Top 5 Movies (Thus Far, At Present, Ad Nauseum)

**Taosaur** · 08-06-2008 02:01 AM

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

**Quiver** · 08-06-2008 02:50 AM

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

stranger than paradise - jim jarmusch

onibaba - kameto shindo

the wicker man - robin hardy

**Original Poster** · 08-08-2008 11:43 PM

Hmmm

The original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

Cast Away

What Dreams May Come

The Lives of Others (I think)

Anything by Maozaki, Quentin Tarantino or Robert Rodriquez (well not ANYTHING but most of their stuff)

Shawshank Redemption

**dweezil** · 08-09-2008 12:50 AM

lives of others is amazing!

and your tarantino referral made me remember the fake trailer by rob zombie in deathproof. rob zombie's films are winners every time for me. his halloween remake is better than the original.

Hmm.. Off the top of my head, here's my top 5 list, no particular order:

I just don't get why everyone dislikes it. It was incredibly scary, and suspenseful, and the twist was very very clever. Beautifully directed and written. I thought it was very moving.

**Sound** · 08-11-2008 01:01 PM

No specific order:

Blood Diamond
Transformers
Drumline
Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy
Kill Buljo (Norwegian Kill Bill parody)

He plays the main character.

I left out Doctor Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

Something from Miyazaki, they're all good.

The Matrix Trilogy
Anchorman
V for Vendetta
Fight Club
