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.

4.Monty Python and the holy grail-the best of the pythons comedy lol to the killer rabbit

5. kill bill 1-quentin I owe u 1

(honourable mentions- starship troopers-some parts lacked but still it =awesomeness, ace ventura films-jim carey is a god of an actor, little nicky, lord of war, I could go on but I'm lazy)

My list:

The Prophecy series
The Tremors series
Dude, where's my car?
Jet Li's Fearless
Tommy Boy

W0W... Everyone's top 5's are in my like top 150:p

My top 5 (in no particular order):

Titanic
Pearl Harbor
The Lake House
Tears of the Sun
The Guardian

Most of these movies I've never even heard of lol... I do love Jet Li though..

I love that movie!

He's my hero.. I own over half his movies. He is this generations Marlon Brando in a way in my eyes... what with the excellence and ability to act in what ever role they receive perfectly.:)

Johnny dep is pretty cool

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!
3. Sleepless in Seattle--Tom Hanks & Meg Ryan together are incredible to watch! Their chemistry is amazing!
4. The Sixth Sense--did NOT see the ending coming! What a great movie this was!
5. Running in Cars with Boys--such a funny and sweet movie! Drew Barrymore is one of my all-time favorite actresses!

what the hell is that?^^^^^^^^^^^^^that comment up there?

star wars was awesome, and I agree, jar-jar was selling out to the idiots.
the prestige is just awesome, simply because it is so complex and it makes you think and wonder at it for hours on end.

THE GODFATHER!!!:D:D:D

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.

---

Forest Gump-Had a good message, you don't have to be smart to be known.
Sid and Nancy-Was just all together awsome.
Monsters inc.-Cute movie.
Not another teen movie-Awsome.
Song remains the same-Led Zepplin rocks!

OH... my number 6 favourite movie of all time that i couldn't thinkof that JUST popped into my head... The Wall! Saw it and loved it, and even cried a little bit.:D<3

You cried?? ;)

Don't forget:

Braveheart - not historically correct but a splendid message for determination
Captain Ron - If it's going to happen anywhere...
Men in Black - NOT just another Will Smith movie
Finding Nemo - very heart warming and my grandaughter loves it
Blazing Saddles - Too many spoofs to list

Dang it! That's five already... I want more!

Pirates of the Caribbean, The Longest Yard, Bridge Over River Kwai, Gone With the Wind, Twelve Angy Men... too many to list. I'd need ten TV's going all month! :D

I cried because it was such an emotional and perfect portrayal of Syd Barrett and his life. And some Pink Floyd music does make me kinda sad because of the memories. Especially Wish You Were Here.:(

I've got the movie, too. The music is awesome!
Early Floyd is great! I didn't care for the Animal thiing

Hmm...
Well, allsI know is that I watched it with my friends ex bf and it was perfect. (keeping in mind that we did nothing:p)
