Name your top 5 favorite movies

I think you either love the royal tenenbaums or you hate it...it's one of my bfs absolute favorites, and I went uptown to the video store to rent it, and the owner sold it to me for $3, because only one other guy in town that had rented it, like it (and he loved it)...I like the movie myself.
 
Yeah, I've noticed the love it/hate it thing, too. I think it's just WAY to dry for some people...I can't get enough of it, though :) .
 
I never have been able to make a top 5, but here are a few favs...

Shawshank Redemption
Bourne Identity and Supremacy
Notting Hill
A Christmas Story
Ocean's Eleven

OMG! I forgot about Beaches... oh man, I just loved that movie. It reminds me of a friend of mine I've had most of my life. I heard that movie referred to as a "chick flick" on the radio one day and took offense; it's a movie about two friends, not a chick flick. A chick flick is anything with that one english guy in it (can't remember his name).

Silence of the lambs also is one of my fav's, but very long. Jodie foster reminds me of my little sister (pic follows, she's the one on the far right with my friend Beau in the middle, and her friend Brooke on the far left):

Vertigo
Amelie (Le fabuleux destin d'Amelie Poulain)
Immortel

That would be Hugh Grant I guess. He is the saviour of British comedy in movies... He's really funny and just typically english.

Anyway I'd have to say that one of my new favourite top 5 movies would have to be Hero... I saw the original Chinese version it's such a beautifully shot movie... I'd advise everyone to watch it. It's almost like watching a slideshow of masterpiece photographs.
