Five Best Movies of All Time?

For you, that is.

Mine are:

Brazil
Casablanca
Something About Mary (first time, but not on repeats)
Repo Man (oh yeah, been far too long since I watched this)
Blade Runner

I reserve the right to modify this list (and just did so).

True Grit (I think of this one on horse rides throw big feilds on Autumn days with my horse wondering why I'm yelling "Fill your hand you son of a bitch")
Fate is the Hunter (B&W Glen Ford/Rod Taylor thriller based on Ernest K. Gann)
Spellbound (Hitchcock classic)
The Castle (Aussie fun)
Raiders of the lost Ark (as seen in a movie theatre in 1981 before any of the weak copy cat films where ever thought of)

Top five after drinking

I enjoy too many movies to cut it down to a top five, but these would be my favorite five after a hard nights drinking but for some reason I can't get to sleep, in no particular order.

Tombstone
Once Upon A Time In Mexico
Fist Full Of Dollars - "Shoot for the heart Ramone"
Slap Shot
Spinal Tap

Casablanca
Dr. Strangelove
A Clockwork Orange

(after that, they start to run together, at least right at this moment)
Tell you what... for right this minute, I'll say:

Silent Running
Animal House (it IS awfully funny)

I reserve the right to modify my list...

PS I wouldn't put "Fate is the Hunter" in a top 5, but it IS a good movie!

North by Northwest
Casablanca
M (how many remember this one? It is a great movie!!)
The Godfather
Life is Beautiful

Honorable Mention - The Original french version of Beauty and the Beast. It was actually the first talkie movie and was just an amazing movie for its time.

You can leave off - Gone with the Wind for me. To me, it is over-hyped and none of the characters in the movie are likeable.

Wasn't your third choice made from a line in your second choice?
