Good grief this is hard. Now maybe if you went with seperate catagories such as action, fantasy, horror, ect. And maybe top three of five this is hard.
Evil dead 1&2
army of darkness
dogma
lotr (trilogy and the old cartoon movies)
the hobbit
aliens (just the original trilogy)
indiana jones (all three)
Das Boot
All quiet on the western front
good will hunting
little nicky
princess mononoke
Quite an interesting thread, with many overlapping favorites.
My favs are:
-Tearjerker= An Affair to Remember (Cary Grant/Deborah Kerr version)
-Samurai = Seven Samurai (classic!)
-Fantasy = The Princess Bride and LotR trilogy (not so serious and serious together)
-Comedy = Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (weakness for Kevin Smith films)
-Sci-Fi = The Fifth Element
-Independent = The Gamers
