Your top 5 movies of all time?

[NoStateofMind]

in no particular order:

1) Matrix (first one only)

2) Fight club

3) V for Vendetta

4) American beauty

5) Haven't decided yet


I also would like to say that how I judge a movie is if it has replay value. 99% of movies I watch do not fit that criteria. These four I have mentioned are excellent movies and are timeless IMO.

Yours?

1. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
2. Casablanca
3. An American in Paris
4. Scent of a Woman

[Modeps]

1) Shawshank Redemption
2) Amelie
3) Casablanca
4) Goodfellas

As much as I liked Matrix, Fight Club, and V for Vendetta... I would not even consider them anywhere near my top movies of all time.

These were all good choices and are in my top 50

Matrix (first one only)
Fight club
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure <-- I'd pick Bogus Journey
Tampopo
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Miller's Crossing
Amelie
Pulp Fiction
Star Wars IV


I'll cheat and pick some actor & director/creator collections, like this:

- Groundhog Day and other Bill Murray classics (Life Aquatic, Lost in Translation, ...)
- Nightmare Before Christmas* and the rest of Tim Burton's work
- Miyazaki's anime
- John Carpenter's older work (Escape From New York, The Thing, Big Trouble in Little CHina, In the Mouth of Madness, ...)
- Clint Eastwood's westerns

(honorable mention)
- John Woo's Hong Kong films
- Ahnold's action films
- Krzysztof Kieslowski's Three Colors trilogy
- Wim Wenders' Wings of Desire & Far Away So Close



(* With apologies to Harry Selick, he did nice work directing but it was still a Tim Burton movie.)

Between that and "We have a piper down! I repeat -- a piper is down!"... my two favorite scenes in that movie. :thumbsup:

I agree with your list, with the exception of Schindlers List. When I saw it I didn't really find it all that funny. I think I only laughed two or three times, that's it.
