i'm really strugling to think now. most of the best films i see are subtitled, i often miss the first few minutes so i don't know their names.

Post by Sickone »

Ok, some good movies were mentioned, and some really bad ones....

So in my long missed loving fashion.....

Buy a clue, and watch better movies :)

On a serious note.....

I could not / would not pick 5.

Of all I have ever seen, the 800+ I currently own, etc. It depends greatly on taste mode, etc

Braveheart, Shawshank, Predator, True Lies,etc

1) Snatch
2) Kill Bill
3) Three-way third place trilogy tie: Star Wars 4, 5, 6, Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones
4) Animal House
5) The Matrix (only first movie)

Probably some other movies that I like better / that deserve honorable mention, but I can't think of them.
