Your top 5 favorite movies

You know, I don't think I've ever heard anyone say Vanilla Sky was their favorite movie before, but it makes me kinda happy.

I have. It's got a following. I don't love it personally, but it gets more shit than it deserves.

[Destro777]

Very difficult to do this. hmmm Ill go with:

1 - Thin Red Line
2 - Goonies
3 - Harry Potter 3
4 - Lost in Translation
5 - Session 9

[Revoltor]

Is Rashomon the best of Kurosawa? Also, is it in classic Japanese or more modern? There are a few Japanese directors I don't mind, per se.

I'd say Ikiru is his best but that's just me.

You know, I don't think I've ever heard anyone say Vanilla Sky was their favorite movie before, but it makes me kinda happy. The movie gets shit on a lot and I really, really like it. Every time someone who has otherwise awesome taste trashes it, I feel compelled to watch it again and every time it's like... nope. Still love it.

I am a sucker for movies that use their soundtracks well. Vanilla sky did an amazing job. (I think Darjeeling did an amazing job with that as well.)

1. Heat
2. Hunt for Red October
3. Last of the Mohicans
4. Fight Club
5. The Matrix

[Scourge]

Seven Samurai, Hidden Fortress, and Stray Dog are up there too.

I really love Hidden Fortress. Also, Throne of Blood is really, really fucking amazing. Probably my second favorite of his films. Maybe even interchangeable with Rashomon.

I'd say Ikiru is his best but that's just me.

Ikiru and High And Low are my two favorites.

[Taito]

Ronin
The Insider
Godfather I+II
Blade Runner
Jackie Brown


And my favorites from this decade:

Enemy at the Gates
Frailty
The Departed
Children of Men
300

[Pineapple]

enemy at the gates was an average movie at best.

[Taito]

Not simply an average movie; one of my favorites this decade.

It was the sniper aspect that won me over. Take that away and you're left with a dime-a-dozen war film.
