[dpolston]

(I love the movies like Waiting For Guffman and Best in Show, btw, I actually like all of those - I think there are 5 total, not including Spinal Tap).

No particular order really,

Dead Poet's Society
Empire of the Sun
The Last Samurai (which is strange being that I truly despise Tom Cruise)
Not really a movie but: Les Miserables (the Dream Cast In Concert - 1998)
Down From The Mountain

and Life Is Beautiful (I know that's six... sorry)

(it's hard to pick 5)

I have a least favorite few (worst movies of all time):

Glitter - (Mariah Carrey)
The Substitute
The Cat in the Hat (Micheal Myers)
Disorderlies (The Fat Boys)

... just to name a few

Casablanca
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
12 Angry Men
To Kill a Mockingbird
Young Frankenstein
Finding Nemo

Wow, as a former video store flunkie, there are some fab lists (where were you guys when people asked for 'a good Steven Seagal movie'?)

Anyways:

Dr Strangelove
Dead Poets Society
The Departed
Monty Python & the Holy Grail
Hud

 

[kundalini]

Oooops

Remove Finding Nemo and add Citizen Kane....

No, wait....just add Citizen Kane (r-o-s-e-b-u-d) Likely to be this best celluloid in history.

 

[nealjpage]

Ooo, this is tough. My picks, in no particular order:

M.A.S.H.
The Big Lebowski
The Usual Suspects
Ghostbusters
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

 

[leopardforest]

The Matrix
Vitus
The Bourne Series

 

[Josh66]

(where were you guys when people asked for 'a good Steven Seagal movie'?)

Are you implying that there was one?

I just hate the way he talks... That ruins any of his movies for me.

 

[Sideburns]

Kill Bill Vol 1 and 2 (1 movie, 2 parts)
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Training Day
The Pursuit of Happyness
Transformers!!!!!!

No particular order of course.

EDIT: Crap....didn't put the Bourne movies on there...they really deserve a spot...

 

[Peanuts]

No order...

Gladiator
The Phantom of the Opera (can you believe not a single Chapters/Indigo/Coles in my city has a copy of this book in right now?! How vexing)
Pride and Prejudice (1995 version... not the Keira Knightley)
Lion King
Count of Monte Cristo

Wow.... that is a very sappy list

 

[dpolston]

No, wait....just add Citizen Kane (r-o-s-e-b-u-d) Likely to be this best celluloid in history.

Citizen Kane was just voted the top (number one) greatest movie of all time. I just saw it on tv on one of those countdown shows (hosted by Morgan Freeman). Sadly, "The World According To Garp" wasn't in the running.

Plus another vote for Bourne (we watched the trilogy on New Years Eve). How exciting! And yes... we did teak a break to watch the countdown.
