Solaris


Meloncholia


Ace in the Hole


Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory


Inland Empire


Leviathan


Office Space

In no particular order:

Jackie Brown
Goodfellas
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
McCabe and Ms. Miller
Serpico

This is tough but at some point you just have to post.

McCabe and Ms. Miller is my deep cut. If you guys haven’t seen it, it is an experience. It’s like watching a painting. Here is the whole movie (hopefully commercial free) on YouTube:

How the heck are you supposed to have just five movies. I can't even pick five in a single genre.

Napoleon dynamite
Shaun of the dead
Two Hands
To live and die in LA
Manhunter

Picked because they're the first 5 that come to mind that I will watch from any point at any time.

Damn I blanked on Edgar Wright

[OldieButFrenchie]

Good thread! First that came to my mind....

The Good the bad and the ugly

Blade Runner

The Blues brothers

L'armée des ombres (Army of shadows)


Le magnifique


I only included trailers for the 2 French ones, you guys already know my other picks!

Honorable mentions: Warriors, Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, Groundhog's day, The Thing, Sean of the Dead, Les bronzés font du ski (Frenchest movie ever! btw I could do a French only Top 5, maybe I should have done that....)

anyways I'm surprised to see 2 posters mention La Haine. The success of that movie abroad has always surprised me....BTW director Mathieu Kassovitz had pretty serious motorcycle accident yesterday. Wildly unrelated fact: I saw him show up at a Paris skatepark around 20 years ago with Scott Bourne! No clue as to what was going on there.
One last thing: Jean-Pierre Cassel, the father of Vincent Cassel (Vince in La Haine), is in the Army of Shadows movie. That's him in the thumbnail.

Wow Lurper, bunch of bangers for real. Made me realize , Snatch def in my Top 10!

This reminds me I still need to watch Toy Story 4 at some point.

[TheLurper]

Damn so many good movies listed in here.

[Filip]

In no particular order, and more than 5, fuck it.

The Princess Bride - forever my nr.1
Terminator
Clerks (1+2, cant split them)
In Bruges
Dark Knight trilogy - I rewatch this like once a year
LOTR trilogy - same
Neverending Story

There are way more, old Jackie Chan movies, more Kevin Smith movies for sure....fuck I love movies.

[GS77]

Damn so many good movies listed in here.

I love Drugstore Cowboy and I have been meaning to watch Inland Empire.

A bunch of yours could be on my list but I tried to think about movies not everyone would mention.

Having said that, No Country, Big Lebowski and There Will be Blood are in my favorites.

Bad Lieutenant is so entertaining and Big Trouble in Little China almost nudged out Ferris Bueller but I was so hyped on Ferris when it came out I had to list it.

Haven’t seen American Psycho, History of Violence and Momento yet.

I regret I haven’t watched many movies recently so my favorites list is probably a little stale.

[j....soy.....]

1) Drugstore Cowboy
2) Bottle Rocket
3) Royal Tanenmbaums
4) Do the Right Thing
5) Best in Show

[Mr. Pickles]

Aliens

Kingpin
