and theres tons more movies i could watch over and over again.
 
Goodfellas
Pulp Fiction
Star Wars
Fight Club
Transformers - most likely only because I am still totally in awe.
 
Apocalypse Now
The good the bad and the ugly
Taxi driver
Silence of the lambs
The Godfather
Once upon a time in the west
Shawshank redemption
Reservoir dogs
The deer hunter

And the ninth gate
a rarely unheard of johnny depp film which im throwing in
because i want everyone to see it.


All the above stay with me my idea of what makes a good film
imprinted on ones soul so to speak.
Nine i know but these are what i would consider as the true modern greats.
Many challengers like pulp fiction for example but they are flawed
films i have issues with such as the pulp fiction briefcase and
not knowing what's in it and goodfellas is great but ray liotta is a bit wooden and annoys me
thought it was bad casting.

In no particular order, and there are others I could list but these are the five that had the most profound effect on me first time around for one reason or another:

Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas
Monty Python And The Holy Grail
Crash
American History X
Mulholand Drive
 
Gawd, these are always tricky...

The Empire Strikes back: Grew up with Star Wars and this is by far the best one. AT-AT's for *** win, etc.


Pulp Fiction: This was my first Tarantino experience and it just blew me away. Brilliant performances, music, dialogue....everything. I can't fault it.


Alien: My older brother let me watch it when I was 8. I didn't sleep for a week. Scariest film ever.


The Truman Show: Just a really "watchable" movie. Love the music and love the ending.


Fight Club: Brutally hilarious and nothing else quite like it. One of those films that works on so many levels, mannnnn :)

But straight away I can think of another 20 that could be there. Curse you! :(

All down to personal choice, but my 5 would be, in no particular order-:

Aliens - Great action movie, blast-fest from beginning to end and sory which had me guessing right up to the end.

Spartacus with Kirk Douglas - brilliant film. Great acting and moving, touching story.

Rocky III - Rocky is a very endearing character and this film really had me rooting for him and wanting me to see him beat Mr. T.

The Good The Bsd And The Ugly - graet music, great film.

Star Wars - Revenge of The Sith. Action from beginning to end coupled with a great story which brought everything nicely together.
