    What are your top favorite 5 movies of all time?
    And I mean movies that really moved you and touched you, so not like comedy or horror movies please. Thank you!

    Oh and also not really really old classics like Casa Blanca or anything like that! Lol. 90's and newer would be nice lol.

    Same here... Was undecided about Full Metal Jacket.. parts of it was great... but it had a strange halting flow like it was a project he kept walking away from and picking back up at odd intervals.

    Should have mentioned Band of Brothers... AWESOME miniseries. The Pacfic was good to, just not as good. I don't think it developed quite as well in the storyline.

    I have read most of Hunter Thompsons work at one time or another. It should be required reading for all Poli/Sci and Journalism majors.

    He is a personal hero of mine for giving the most honest accounts of the sixties and seventies , and other obscure reasons.

    Like running for sheriff of Aspen Co. on the platform of daily use of mescaline , LSD, Peyote . Tearing up the streets and replacing them with sod , and renaming Aspen... Fat City to deter realtors.

    And winning 44% of the vote. He won the city vote , the remainder of the county had the democratic candidate , on an agreement with republicans to withdraw a candidate for a different office, withdraw from the race to consolidate enough votes to keep Thompson from winning.

    The MOVIE... The Rum Diary's will be out sometime this year.
    Also staring Johnny Depp.

    RIP Dr. Gonzo.

    Not certain why the qualifications because what a person gets out of a movie-emotionally or mentally-is not dependent on the genera.

    In no particular order:
    Heavy Metal
    The Quiet Man
    *Batteries not included
    Casablanca
    Fiddler on the Roof
    LadyHawk (yes, I know that is six. :) )

    Mel Brooks' movies
