Your Top 5 Films

[The Modfather]

What’s your top 5 films? In any order.

Mine are:

Cool Hand Luke
Serpico
A Bridge Too Far
Planes Trains & Automobiles
Ghostbusters

What other films do you feel guilty leaving out or can swap in for one on your list on a given day. Mine are:

Ferris Buellers Day Off
My Cousin Vinnie

[Stairway 2 7]

12 angry men
The lives of others
Life is beautiful
Goodfellas
Napoleon dynamite

[Hibbyradge]

The Godfather
The Godfather 2
One flew over the cuckoo's nest
Pulp Fiction
Life of Brian

[The_Exile]

Rio Bravo
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Alien
The Shawshank Redemption
The Matrix

Narrowing the list of hundreds of films I love down to 5 is nigh on impossible and that list would likely change if you asked me next week! Like, how can I leave out Silence of the Lambs, Star Wars, True Grit, Blade Runner, Contact, Back to the Future, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Vanilla Sky, The Good The Bad and The Ugly etc, I could list dozens upon dozens that wouldn't look out of place in a top 5 list. I always find films much much harder to list top 5 or top 10 of than songs.

[Scouse Hibee]

True Grit (The Original)
The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
The Shawshank Redemption
Ghost ( Sentimental Reasons)
The Italian Job (The Original)

[The Modfather]

Rio Bravo
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Alien
The Shawshank Redemption
The Matrix

Yep, The Good The Bad & The Ugly, Once Upon A Time In The West, Back To The Future 1 & 2, first 3 Indiana Jones’ or… I’ll stop now or otherwise be here all day.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Cry Freedom
The Killing Fields
Shawshank Redemption
The Great Escape
Citizen Kane

[Santa Cruz]

No particular order

A Few Good Men
Black Hawk Down
Mississippi Burning
Terms of Endearment
Steel Magnolias

Feel guilty leaving Airplane (hilarious at the time, not so much now), Wizard of Oz (tremendous production for it's era), and nearly every film with Tom Hanks/Cruise or anything with Timothy Spall cos they are my fave actors.

[Alfiembra]

The Green Mile
Shawshank Redemption
War of the Worlds
Independance Day
The Equalizer

Could easily list a dozen more

[WeeRussell]

Right now I’ll go for:

The shawshank redemption
Goodfellas
The usual suspects
LA confidential
The life of Brian

I would do a separate top 5 for westerns.

[patch1875]

Heat
The Hangover
Saving Private Ryan
Duel
The Omen

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Tyrannosaur
Pulp Fiction
The Deer Hunter
The Boy in the striped pyjamas
Mississippi Burning

List will probably be different tomorrow! 😀

[EH6 Hibby]

True Romance
The Usual Suspects
Harry Potter collection (can’t pick just one)
Gone with the Wind
Inglorious *******s

[Bridge hibs]

The Irishman

Kickboxer
Gladiator
Good will hunting
The lion King!

Oops. Good will hunting should be in mine too!

[DH1875]

Anyone else like For a few dollars more better than The good, the bad and the ugly?

[Hibby70]

Alien
Shawshank
Lawrence of Arabia
Jaws
Empire Strikes Back

It's too difficult though. Schindlers List is probably the best film of all time but it's such a hard watch.

[The Modfather]

Anyone else like For a few dollars more better than The good, the bad and the ugly?

I’m not a particularly big western fan, despite loving The Good, The Bad & The Ugly & Once Upon A Time In The West. Really need to get round to watching the other two from the trilogy though, For A Few Dollars More & A Fistful Of Dollars.

[Tyler Durden]

Empire Strikes Back
The Godfather part 2
Kill Bill vol 1
Before Sunrise
Fight Club

Would find it easier to do a top 20. Albeit I can’t think of too many amazing films in the last decade. Probably only Arrival and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood that would get close to my list.

[WeeRussell]

Anyone else like For a few dollars more better than The good, the bad and the ugly?

Yes, absolutely!

Always said for a few dollars more, then fistful of dollars for me. With the most famous coming third for me.

Might have to watch all 3 again shortly to see if that’s changed though 🤠

[davy67 +]

Goodfellas
The Usual Suspects
The Searchers
Pulp Fiction
GoldFinger

[marinello59]

Bonny and Clyde
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
Goodfellas
The Breakfast Club
Baby Driver.

These selections could change on a daily basis. :greengrin

[DH1875]

After serious consideration I'm going with;

The Boondock Saints.
We Were soldiers.
Suicide Kings.
The Warriors.

The Secrets in their Eyes. The Argentine/Spanish version, not the duff Hollywood remake.

Breakfast club is out, great escape is in, home alone relegated again until mid December 2023, lord of the rings comes in, all three as you cannot pick between them.

Really like love actually too but it’s a seasonal film, we watch it on Christmas Eve once the kids are asleep.

School Of Rock is excellent, probably top 5 most of the year and one of those that I will watch if it’s on.

Rush Hour was a great film and I still enjoy it.

The Big Lebowski
The Prestige
Se7en
Fight Club
Interstellar

As others have said, my list would prob change tomorrow

[Hibbyradge]

Can’t believe I missed The Blues Brothers from my ever expanding list!

How can a top 5 expand?

And, unless a new film comes out which blows one on your list away, how can it change?

Most of the films on this thread are excellent (with one or 2 exceptions), but if they were in my top 5, I'd have chosen them.

"More is lost by indecision than wrong decision. Indecision is the thief of opportunity. It will steal you blind."

You reminded me of my favourite film as a bairn - Watership Down, it was the first time I cried watching a film. Still well up now when I hear the theme song :greengrin Also add in Grease, so wanted to be Olivia Newton John for years after watching it. Only film I've went back to the cinema to see again - 3 times at the Ritz in Rodney Street... showing my age.
