What are the 5 best movies you ever saw? Your 5 favourite movies, and why?


For me, it would have to be
The Shawshank redemption- a powerful movie, with a powerful message of freedom and stuff

The Prestige- makes my head hurt, its so intricate and scary if you think about it too much

On The Beach- a movie about nuclear disaster, and the end of the human race, such a sad movie, about love, death, and false hope. Made me wish I had a little blue pill to end it all actually...

Rocky- ADRIAAAAN!! Awesome, inspiring movie. Just so awesome.

My Dog Skip- made me cry first time I saw it, when I was younger, first movie ever to make me cry, wonderful movie, about a boy, and surprise surprise, his dog.

I love the shawshank redemption, but not mi fav.

1. Scarface- Very well planned, well thought-out movie that was way ahead of its time, it shows just what a drug dealer can go through.

2. A clockwork Orange- this movie powerfully promotes are and literature in a positive way, while still showiung the negative sides of it, it also shows how someone can learn from mistakes.

3. The devils rejects- It shows how powerful rob zombies mind can be when he is writing.

4. Children of the corn- One of stephen king's best works!

5. hostel parts I & II- Eli Roth is one of my hero's for creating the hostel series, and the cabin fever film, he is everything that a film maker should be, he makes great movies...

The sawshank redemption is brill but not my top five
Ok these are my fav five no particular order because I'm not that decisive

One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest - now this is a good adaptation of a book - really kept the feel of it.
Fight Club - nerdy I know but I ust love this movie
Momento - freaky had to watch loads to string it all together
Heat- reminds me of my dad. Best cinama gunfight ever- no holliwood bullets here.
Trainspotting - d'ya ken wha' ah mean? Another great book to movie translation

Have to disagree with A Clockwork Orange - I was very dissapointed in the film- not even a tenth of the book. It wasn't violent enough and the protagonist was too old and it missed the 21st chapter which is pivitol to the story's morals.

Great movies:
1. Of Human Bondage (the classic black and white one with Bette Davis and Leslie Howaard)
2. The Ten Commandments
3. Ben Hur
4. Laurence of Arabia
5. Rebel Without A Cause

Yes, I agree with that it didn'y follow the book too well, but you have to remember, when the movie was created they only had 200,000 to work with... it had to of missed a little bit, but I mean, it is very good literature, the narrator is awesome...

Didn't know it was on such a tight budget, might cut it some slack. Didn't Burgess disown it? Or am I thinking of another film? I should watch it again really, watched it when I was 15 and I was very judgemental back then.

You're thinking of another film... this movie wasn't disowned...

The first 5 movies I could think of that are the best films ever! (More to follow)

1. The Neverending Story--this is my all-time favorite movie!
2. Glory--my dad has a big passion for Civil War things, and got me to watch this movie with him. I didn't think I'd like it because it's a movie I never would've watched on my own, but it surprised me and now it's one of my favorites! The acting's incredible!
3. What Dreams May Come--LOVED Robin Williams in this role! The plot is awesome and the special effects are amazing!
4. Titanic--what more can I say? This was an INCREDIBLE movie to see in theatres, plus I'm a huge Leo fan! ;)
5. The Amityville Horror (newer one)--this movie scared the crap out of me! I saw it twice in theatres thinking I wouldn't be as scared the second time, but I was MORE scared if anything! I almost left the theatre because I was crying so hard from being scared.

Here's the 5 I can think of right now.

1. The Godfather, Pt. II - I believe it was the best movie ever made.

2. Citizen Kane, don't know why I love this movie so much, but I do.

3. Finding Nemo

4. Kung Fu Hustle

5. Ikuru - best Kurosawa film ever, IMO

Hms - The Deer Hunter, Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, My Fair Lady, The Departed, All About Eve, Gone With the Wind

Argh forgot about the godfather! Good films watched them first in sweltering heat (40 degree C) suited them. *muses*

American Film Institute (http://www.afi.com/)

1 independence day
2 van helsing
3 titanic
4 flight plan
5 united 93

Okay - here are my fav's - in no particular order

Sense and Sensibility - I love Jane Austen and I think Emma Thompson did a wonderful job adapting the story.

The Empire Strikes Back - I was sooooo in love with Harrison Ford back then.

The Seven Samaurai - I saw this film and just loved it - don't know why.

The Quiet Man - John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara in Ireland - what's not to love?

Gone With the Wind - like the South the movie portrayed - this film represents a Hollywood that is long gone, too.

A few there I need to watch lol... titanic was awesome
But still
ADRIAAAAAAAANN!

This is hard cause I love movies so much but I did my best so
Here's mine:

The Breakfast Club!-this movie will always hold a special place in my heart. I love the 80s nostalgia I get when I watch it.
The Royal Tenenbaums-this movie gives off the best mixture of melancholy and happniess.
Harold & Maude-bestttt! Like no other.
Little Miss Sunshine-this movie makes me feel warm and fuzzy!
Titanic-always will be on of the bests ever.
:rolleyes:

^^ the royal Tenenbaums completely shocked me when I first watched it! Ace film.

yesssssssss! I'm glad you agree and have good taste! Hehe :D

My list
Casablanca. Inspirational movie
Arlington Road. Great thriller with lots of twists. Great ending
Bonfire of the Vanities.I love the portrayal of the civil right frauds.
The Usual suspects. Same comments as Arlington Road.
The Sixth Sense. Was a unique story that you had to watch twice to see how all the twists blended into the story that you didn't notice the first time through.

BTW 5 is to way to short a list when trying to pick out movies.

The whole "Saw" series-They just leave you guessing.
Queen of the Damned-I just thought that was an awesome movie.
Tombstone-Had all the cool guys in it.
American History X-Has a great lesson to learn towards the end.
The whole Hannibal Lecter series-Now who could not love good ol' Hannibal the Cannibal?

Thanks for the tip. I will watch that with my husband tonight.

How can no one have mentioned star wars? Only the most amazing cinemographic masterpiece of its time!! Im talking the original star wars... none of that Jar-Jar crap!

Amelie is next and then Pan's Labrynth... a masterpiece.

And then of course Pride and Prejudice, my all time favorite book, only recently done well in a movie.
Schindlers list and citezen kane are amazing! Also Requiem for a dream.

I looove starwars. My favorite is Empire strikes back.
I think someone did mention starwars on here.
These are all great movies :D

Classics
1-The Godfather (Parts 1,2&3)>Al Pacino, Amazing acting & great directing by Francis Cappola, with a great story and based on true events.
2-Scarface>Al Pacino, great story line once again... just over all fantastic.
3-Casablanca>Humphrey Bogart & Ingrid Bergman act amazingly and the film pulls you into it with emotions and everything.
4-Breakfast At Tiffany's>Audrey Hepburn & George Peppard are very good.. their love seems so real..
5-A StreetCar Named Desire>Marlon Brando is just one of the greatest actors in history. His performance splashes onto the screen and I was simply drawn to it.

Modern
1-Pirates of the Caribbean (1,2&3)>Johnny Depp is just a fantastic actor and brings a very believable quality to the move
2-Benny & Joon>Johnny Depp... once again very good. Mary Stuart Masterson & Aidan Quinn also portray a seemingly real family (brother & sister).
3-The Prestige>Hugh Jackman & Christian Bale do a very good job of acting as old school illusionists. Michael Caine is just magnificent and anything with Michael Caine in it, I end up loving:p
4-Fools Rush In>Matthew Perry & Salma Hayek are two of my favourite acting people out there (mainly comedy wise). The story line is good and it is exactly what a situation like that would turn out to be.
5-Three to Tango> Matthew Perry once again is one of the best comedic actors out there, I think. Neve Campbell is also super good... she's also a Canadian gal from Ontario:D The movie is just very amusing to watch and it ends sweetly.

1. 28 days/weeks later-OMG HOW CAN NO 1 HAVE MENTIONED THESE

2.the truman show-1 or careys best performances in my book, it is a GREAT FILM

3.lord of the rings trill-if somebody asks why then they have lived inside of a dead moose in canada, eating pie for the last ten years that's why.

5. kill bill 1-quentin I owe u 1

5 more of my top movies:

1. The Princess Bride--such a wonderful movie!
2. What Lies Beneath--LOVE Michelle Pfeiffer's movies, and this one kept me guessing 'til the end!

the prestige is just awesome, simply because it is so complex and it makes you think and wonder at it for hours on end.

Shawshank is brilliantly acted,written,photographed.A masterpiece.
Master and Commander,is Gladiator at sea :D
Lord of The Rings.New Zealand,New Zealand,New Zealand...
Annie Hall,simply Woody Allen's funniest film.
And Amadeus,because it was filmed in Prague,the costumes look amazing,and F.Murray Abraham,is a brilliant actor,when given a "good" role.

The aviator! One of the best roles leonardo diacaprio ever played!

The Prestige- makes my head hurt, its so intricate and scary if you think about it too much
