But yeah, just re-watched it again the other night. Still very enjoyable for me. ^_^

 

[THE M3RCENARY]

Oldboy
The Departed
Kick-Ass
Let the Right One In
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Oh yeah, three foreign films on my list. I'm just that pretentious.

Three of mine are also foreign!

Dead Leaves and Akira (Japan)

Shoot em' Up (England)

Did you know Kick-Ass was actually made in England?

 

[L4hlborg]

Black Dynamite
Kill Bill Vol 1 and 2
Borat
The good, the bad and the ugly
Shawn of the Dead

Not necessarily in that particular order.

 

[Eagle Est1986]

Hmmmm.... 5 eh? I'll give it a go....

Oldboy
The Lion King
Black Hawk Down
The Departed
Pan's Labyrinth

I think you could ask me again tomorrow and at least three of them would be different, I've seen a lot of great films.

 

[Mr Cwtchy]

1. The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring
2. The Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers
3. The Lord of The Rings: The Return of The King
4. Hot Fuzz
5. Men in Black II

I don't watch too many movies, is it noticeable?

 

[Dangerbean]

For a Few Dollars More
A Clockwork Orange
Total Recall
Fight Club
Return of the King

 

[Eagle Est1986]

Let the Right One In

Oh wow, I forgot about that film. Hmmm... it's only been a minute and already I'm rethinking my 5... damnnit.

1. The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring
2. The Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers
3. The Lord of The Rings: The Return of The King

Surely you don't think Fellowship is the best of the three? It's just so.... boring. Especially the extended edition, I'm glad they cut out those scenes!

Edit:

Yes. Didn't notice you'd written that, please forgive my earlier statement if it seems rude.

 

[CouchCommando]

1.The Running Man
2.The Shawshank Redemption
3.LA Confidential
4.Apocalypse Now
5.Aliens

 

[ICanBreakTheseCuffs]

don't count as top five but in different categories
shooting=Black Hawk Down
horror=the objective
comedy=family guy star wars
shooting comedy=hot fuzz
fantasy/sci fi=terminators
whatever this is=PULP FICTION Hell Yeah! Mudufuka

 

[Xojins]

Inception
Inglorious Basterds
Fight Club
Pulp Fiction
No Country for Old Men

Those are my top five, although I'm not quite sure which order I'd place them in.

 

[Seneschal]

In no particular order:

Alien
Aliens
Shaun of the Dead
Session 9
and a tie between Avatar and Serenity.

 

[Mr Cwtchy]

1. The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring
2. The Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers
3. The Lord of The Rings: The Return of The King

Surely you don't think Fellowship is the best of the three? It's just so.... boring. Especially the extended edition, I'm glad they cut out those scenes!

I didn't find it boring at all. I loved the load of different places it showed, from the Shire, to Bree, to Rivendell, to Moria, to Lorien. Not that they were bad, but the later films didn't show nearly as much variety. My biggest reason for liking it best though is that it contained the Moria sequences, which were the best parts of the trilogy IMO.

Dead Leaves

Now there's an anime I never thought I'd see anyone mention, in any context... nonetheless as a favorite. If nothing else, it would seem you've certainly got unique tastes, though I must agree with you on your second choice, Akira is one of my favorites.

OT:
1)Mushishi (the live action adaptation by Katsuhiro Otomo [who, if you'll note, was the writer of the manga for and director of the film Akira])
2)Ikiru
3)Watchmen
4)Saw
5)Death Note (the live action film, not the series, which I loved too, but it doesn't really count as a movie)
