My somewhat eclectic list...

The original Star Wars trilogy
Lord of the Rings trilogy
The Princess Bride
Stardust
Grosse Pointe Blank
Silence of the Lambs
Equilibrium
Pan's Labyrinth
Howl's Moving Castle
Spirited Away
The Matrix
Galaxy Quest
Nightmare Before Christmas
Star Trek 2 & 4
Batman Returns

I've left off a bunch of more recent movies I've really liked as the ones above are those I keep going back to.

I also like the classics:
White Heat (Top of the world Ma!)
Angels with dirty faces. (Rocky dies yeller.)
Casablanca
The African Queen
A night to remember.

I'm really surprised that in 8 pages you're the only other person to mention that film, I think it's brilliant.

It's outstanding IMO, although Stardust comes really close and has a similar tone. Plus Stardust contains Robert de Niro dancing the Can Can in a frock - not to be missed.

For some reason Jake,that doesn`t surprise me.

The amount of quality performances in small roles is just phenomenal in Princess Bride: The albino, Vizzini, Miracle Max, the clergyman, Count Rugen, it's superb. And it's got Columbo.

Can't believe in 9 pages nobody has mentioned the Lost Boys, and I know it's aimed at kids but Puss in Boots is fantastic!

I watched a film many years ago with Donald & Keifer Sutherland in and I can't for the life of me remember its name. Basically Donald's character abducts Keifers wife at a petrol station and they end up buried alive. Anyone remember it? Must have been late 90's.

A Bridge Too Far
Blue Streak
Schindlers List
Brassed Off
Porridge

And that's off the top of my head! Too hard to list them.

My top five in no particular order

Citizen Kane - Orson Welles 1941 master piece.

La Regle du jeu - Jean Renior's 1939 classic possibly the greatest French film ever.

Vertigo - No list would be complete without Hitchcock and his 1958 adaptation of the
Boileau - Narcejac best seller is just about my favourite.

Raging Bull - Martin scorsese's visceral black and white drama about an aging boxer
is a pure work of art.

Lawrence of Arabia - This 1962 David Lean movie is just Epic in every sense of the
word.

Hebie goes Bannanas - Its Funny as Fook.

That's 6.

Sounds like The Vanishing but for the fact it's not Donald Sutherland.

IMDB only has them in only 2 films together including A Time to Kill. Not sure that matches the description though

well spotted thats because I got called out to do a job half way through it. inconsiderate baskets.
Hmm tough call on who to take out.

Difficult to stick to 5 but off the top of my head;

Airplane
The Blues Brothers
Star Wars (original)
The Warriors
The Elephant Man

Cant believe no ones got Romper Stomper on there lists.

I would have to say Miami vice I just loved the series,even now I still myself on the great Don Johnson!!!! The man is a legend in my eyes.
