Name your 5 favorite movies

my roomate had a whole box set of kurosawa stuff, never got around to seven samurai because i never had the time to sit down to watch it :)
 
Hitchcock was such a great movie maker .... watched "North by Northwest" last night ... and the movie also reminded me why Cary Grant was such a great actor and Eva Marie Saint was one hot actress!
 
1. Rocky
2. It's a Wonderful Life
3. Jurassic Park
4. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
5. Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Honorary mention to the video where Al Gore walks into a display of the founders of America and asks "Who are these guys?". Lucky for him he's a Democrat and the Liberal media would never mention it, let alone crucify him like they did to Quayle over misspelling potato.

Prophesy

Fallen

lord of the ring series

5.Schindler's List

Some more are Jurassic Park-the first one

Has anyone seen the Butterfly Effect? A lot of people I talked to didn't like it. I did,but I thought it was terribly depressing.

Shawshank Redemption was a good movie too.
 
anything by the Coen brothers is top shelf....

Blood Simple, Hudsucker Proxy, Raising Arizona, Miller's Crossing, Fargo, et. al.

Shawshank Redemption
Prince of Tides
Sixth Sense
