Top Five Favorite Films Ever???

[aeonpulse]

It's never an easy question to answer. No specific genres, no specific order, I'm just curious of people's top five movies. Not necessarily the top five best movies you've ever seen, but the top five you enjoy watching the most, your favorites. And if possible, try to limit the list to one film per director. Currently, my top five are (mind you, in no specific order)...

John Carpenter's "The Thing"
"Aliens"
"Blade Runner"
"The Empire Strikes Back"
"Brazil"

I actually have a list of my top 20 favorite movies. But these are the five that I "enjoy watching" the most, I'd say.

 

[Lutso]

The Burbs

Haha, yes! Excellent choice.

 

[Alan Cross]

E.T.
Two For The Road
Bambi
A Clockwork Orange

(And, no, I'm not kidding about Bambi)

 

[Flagg]

Aliens
Highlander
Blade Runner
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Day of the Dead

 

[PHArchivist]

Raiders
The Fifth Element
Braveheart
POTC TCOTBP

Hmmm...

Let me stew on the last one.

 

[Shadow345]

Jaws
The Evil Dead
Ed Wood
Jan Svankmajer's Alice
Amadeus

 

[Simmon M]

Jaws

The Empire Strikes Back

Raiders of the Lost Ark

Goodfellas

Clerks

 

[IndyBlues]

Star Wars
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Rocky
The Godfather
Close Encounters of the Third Kind

 

[SSgt Burton]

My "favourite" films can vary with my mood however if I had to narrow it down to five it would be these:

-Star Trek II
-Aliens
-The Terminator
-Robocop
-Batman (1966)

These are films that I can pop in at any time and watch from start to finish despite having seen them hundreds of times (and possibly over a thousand in the case of ST:II), knowing exactly what comes next, and still be thoroughly entertained. :thumbsup

You're putting film-by credits on movies that don't have them. It's bad enough when movies actually have them.

I'm not at all being sarcastic here, but I'm lost. What exactly are you referring to? Did i goof?

The reason I listed the directors of my favorite movies was solely so that I could be sure that I didn't list two favorite films that were directed by the same director, that's all.
