It is interesting to see the different personalities on this one. I had no idea shawshank was so popular. I thought it was good, but not top 5 material. Then again, I don't think any of my top 5 made it on anyone else's list.

Team America, World Police

***Blowing up the Louvre, Hans 'Brix' getting eaten by sharks... what more can you ask for? Not exactly kid safe.

Office Space

***Everyone that works in a cubicle needs to see this movie.

There's Something About Mary

***"We got a bleeder!!" bathroom scene has to be one of the funniest in any movie from any time.

Fight Club

*** "The stuff you own winds up owning you." I think about that frequently. 

Matrix

***just the original. not the series. I don't care. I still really like this movie.

[FordNFishinLover]

Ahhh yes Fight club thats gotta be on my top movies list.

Never back down was good too.

[1inStripes]

In no particular order;

Shawshank Redemption

Blues Brothers

Animal House

Caddyshack

and just for a new movie: Grown Ups.

By a certain age, picking only five movies is like going to a bar with an unlimited choice in beers and deciding on a 3.2. So here's my choices...

1. Any One Movie Directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

2. Any One Western Movie Directed by John Ford with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara in it.

3. Any One Movie with Jimmy Stewart, probably the actor with the best ability to span all types of characters.

4. Something with Tom Hanks(today's version of Jimmy Stewart)... Gotta be Forest Gump.

5. Grumpy Old Men.

[Nibbles]

No rankings... but

Leon: The Professional

I am like Lund Explorer on this; I'm too old to just pick five. I'll give five, but ask me tomorrow and it will probably be a different list.

Lonesome Dove

Forrest Gump

Vertigo

Cool Hand Luke

An Officer and a Gentleman

[NorcalBassin]

Forgot about There's Something About Mary and Joe Dirt... I'm very easily entertained.

[farmpond1]

Let's see... (with a few notable quotes in parenthesis)

-Casablanca ("I came here for the waters"  "What waters?  We're in the desert!" "I was misinformed")

-Shadowlands ("(Prayer) doesn't change God.  It changes me.")

-Silence of the Lambs ("Do you still hear the lambs, Clarice?")

-There's something about Mary ("Franks & Beans!")

-Office space ("It's not that I'm lazy.  It's that I just don't care")

-Deuce Bigalo, male gigolo

-Saving Private Ryan

-Aliens (Get away from her!  You b*tch!")

-Mr. Hollands Opus

-Sideways

-Planes Trains & Automobiles ("Those aren't pillows!!!")

I know this is more than 5 but five doesn't even cover every genre.

[tallydude]

Star Wars (The Holy Trilogy- not the second series)

Riding Giants

Singles

Jeremiah Johnson

Goodfellas

Sideways

I know that's more than five, but those are the ones most likely to be thrown on after a bottle of wine.

[Avalonjohn44]

Lord of the Rings (It's really just one big movie...)

Highlander

Kick-***! (I couldn't believe how much I liked this, ultra violent, not for the faint of heart.)
