What are your top 5 favorite movies?

[Zhougdog]

5. Star Wars Christmas Special
4. Human Centipede
3. Lesbian Vampire Ninjas
2. Gooby
1. Mega-Snake

 

[Eagle Est1986]

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.

Fair enough, I was mostly unsure if you'd truly ranked them in that order or if you'd just done them in story order.

 

[THE M3RCENARY]

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)

Thank you. I'll look into seeing Mushishi.

The Shawshank Redemption

5. Inglorious Basterds

Yeah. On your other point, I don't really get out much, so the only time I see a film is either on TV or if we happen to get a DVD of it. Most of the time I can't remember what they were called. However, even if I did make a habit of seeing films, the LoTR trilogy would still be in the top ten.

I really should expand my horizons a bit :/

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?

I'm sorry but I thought "Shoot 'em Up" was the worst film i've ever seen, it's just so ridiculously preposterous. Each to their own, I guess.

OT: A Fistful of Dollars
