top 5?

[big12]

I think I can honestly say that in my life I have never given any rational thought to what I would consider to be the top 5 movies of all time that I have seen...I guess I'll have to do some thinking.

 

[big12]

I think I would have to pick some more serious movies to be the best of all time. There are a lot of comedies that I like, but most comedies aren't "great" movies IMO; they just provide us with some relief...

"Schindler's List" comes to mind

"City of God" was a pretty cool movie. Foreign film about a kid who grows up to be a big member of the mob and is the most powerful drug dealer (and murderer) in brazil. It's something refreshingly different from most American films, where the ending is often predictable.

city of god is a great movie. amazing.

 

[Dlove]

You come on some good threads Bell. This one is as tough as if to ask who was the best QB of all-time.

1. Where the Buffallo Roam, story of Hunter S. Thompson by Bill Murray
2. Enter the Dragon
3. Colors
4. The Wall
5. Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction, to tough to call

1) Wedding Crashers
2) Lord of War
3) Man on Fire
4) Schindler's List
5) 40 Year Old Virgin

 

[Uruk Hai]

1. Fear and Loathing
2. 300
3. Kingdom of Heaven
4. Almost Famous

3) Starwars - Empire strikes Back and Return of the Jedie (sp)

7) god father 1& 2
8) Scarface
9) Snatch - Lock stock and 2 smoking barrels
10) Molian rouge- Across the Universe- Brother where art thou ( these have nothing to do with each other but take care of the Musical needs of my artistic nature.

Honorable mention that travels this list Is Saving Private Ryan.

[big12]

I was thinking Saving Private Ryan. I forgot about What Dreams May Come. 300 was pretty cool. Enter the Dragon with Bruce Lee was the shit. I saw it when I was a little kid.

I laughed my ass off the first time I ever watched Happy Gilmore, but I wouldn't say that it's a great movie.

 

[big12]

5. Meteor Man!.........a black movie you've never heard of but it's TIGHT![/B]

Keeping with the theme of black movies:

House Party (any of them)
Mandingo (former boxer Ken Norton Sr. plays the main slave)
Imitation of Life (very good, but very sad)
Superfly
Shaft
Cooley High (very funny 70s movie)
Boyz N the Hood
The Color Purple (I like this one)
