As Gov.uk has announced to the world that Frozen is one of DFC fans' favourite films... (ahem)...

I was wondering what people's top five actually are?

(Make it 10, if 5 isn't enough!) 

1: ALIEN*

2: One Upon a Time in America

3: Bladerunner

4: The Empire Strikes Back*

5: Spirited Away

(6-Lord of the Rings / 7-September / 8-The Matrix*-Animatrix* / 9-The Deer Hunter / 10-Psycho-One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest-Schindler's List)  (Yeah I cheated!)

(*- Stand alone - not the trilogy/Series)

[OrientDee]

1/. Once upon a time in america.

2/. Thunderbolt and lightfoot

3/. the spagetti westerns[cheating too]

4/.The Deer Hunter.

5/.Who killed Charlie Varrick.

these are prone to change as the memory kicks in.

[Ludo*1]

1. Casino

2. The Godfather I & II.

3. Goodfellas

4. The Shining

5. The Shawshank Redemption

6. American Werewolf in London

7. Heat

8. Fallen

9. Gross Pointe Blank

10. Magnolia

[Cobra]

This is difficult. Cheating a bit but in terms of films I can watch repeatedly I'd go for.

 

Fargo/No Country for Old Men (Coen Brothers)

 

The Godfather/The Godfather II

 

12 Monkeys

 

Pulp Fiction/Reservoir Dogs (Tarantino)

 

Alien/Aliens

 

Annie Hall/Manhattan (Woody Allen)

 

Bourne trilogy

 

Seven

 

The Usual Suspects

 

The Silence of the Lambs

 

In terms of quality filmmaking I'd add The Bicycle Thieves, The Third Man, Psycho, The Shining, 12 Angry Men, Vertigo, 2001, Taxi Driver, The Deer Hunter, The 400 Blows, The Apartment, Don't Look Now, The Wicker Man, Secrets and Lies.

1. Casino

2. The Godfather I & II.

3. Goodfellas

4. The Shining

5. The Shawshank Redemption

6. American Werewolf in London

7. Heat

8. Fallen

9. Gross Pointe Blank

10. Magnolia

4 of my top 5 in that first 5 there.

I'd probably add once upon a time in America too Instead of the shining.

Seems to be a lot of similar tastes here...

Many with the same films, and many in others' top 10s that are JUST outside my own!

(Shawshank, Manhattan, Casino, Goodfellas...for example)

[chomp my root]

1. The Blues Brothers - I must have seen this time at least 300 times and maybe as many as 500.

2. Team America - Go to youtube and type in 'Team America sex scene uncut' for the 'bonus' material but the whole thing is a work of genius

3. Grosse Point Blank - What a soundtrack

4. Some Like it Hot - great silliness

5. Das Boot - head and shoulders above every other submarine film

1 and 2 are always in my top 5 but the others are interchangeable.
