Lunatic Dreyfus · 30 Sep 2010 at 17:46

1. Jaws
2. The Empire Strikes Back
The rest in no particular order...
The Warriors
Duel
Platoon
The Truman Show
Rocky (or Rocky III

)
Die Hard
Batman Begins
Dirty Harry

Depending on how pretentious I'm feeling I might change out a couple of films for something a bit more profound, but not at the moment.

Wiggis · 30 Sep 2010 at 17:47

I struggle with this as there is always a couple I miss. My top 2 are easy

1. Usual Suspects
2. Shawshank Redemption

After that its really hard but in terms or pure re-watch-ability, I can watch all of these at any time:

Topgun
Back to the Future
Star Wars
Batman Begins
Memento
Gladiator
Old School
Van Wilder
Beverly Hills Cop
Signs

Terminator 1/2
Aliens
Avatar
Godfather 1/2/3
Dark Knight
Apocalypse Now
Saving Private Ryan
Blackhawk Down
Full Metal jacket
Platoon
Forrest Gump
Goodfellas
Star Wars.
7 Pounds for it's ending (I know! but this film had the same effect on me watching E.T/Batteries Not Included as a kid!)

All great films and I could list a whole lot more but my top 3 would be 1) Terminator 2 2) Aliens 3) Full Metal Jacket. The first two were so ahead of their time. Much like Avatar of this generation.

Off the top of my head (not sure about ten films atm) I would certainly include The Lord of the Rings films. My favourite was the Fellowship, followed by Return of the King, then The Two Towers last, though there really isn't much between them.

lsg1r · 1 Oct 2010 at 13:45

Not going to say these are the best films ever made but they're films I can happily watch again and again which to me is more important

No order:
Fifth Element
13th Warrior
Chronicles of Riddick (and pitch black)
fast and the furious (all 4 really)
Last Samurai
Final Fantasy: Advent Children
Appleseed (and Ex Machina)
Azumi
Once upon a time in china
the crow: city of angels (the crow isn't bad either but the last 2 are rubbish)

That's a guilty pleasure for me. Brilliant soundtrack and a glimpse of Jolie's norks, pre-boob job.

However she does look like a man in that film, agreed?

jp_bl_68 · 2 Oct 2010 at 22:10

That must make me a homosexual.
