It is definitely hard because what I would consider my "top 5" are the 5 films I enjoy the most and watch the most. They aren't necessarily the five most impressive or best films I've ever seen. In fact, some of them are really quite bad! Anyway,

 

In no order:

 

Death Becomes Her

Rear Window

The Shining

Serial Mom

Les Quatre Cents Coups

 

Also very close:

 

The Royal Tenenbaums

High Anxiety

Mulholland Drive

The Exorcist

Brokeback Mountain

Airplane

Best in Show

Gladiator

Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines or How I Flew from London to Paris in 25 hours 11 minutes

Clue

Rain Man

Y Tu Mamá También

 

 

I'm trying to figure out if there are any trends in that random list... um... Madeline Kahn is in 2 of them! NOT a coincidence! :lol: :lol:

 

 

It's a REALLY difficult thing for me to choose to be honest, so I'll judge it on films that have had the most profound impacts on me....

 

Apocalypse Now

Akira

Bladerunner

Star Wars (orig 1977 theatrical version - you just cannot imaging what being 5 years old and seeing THAT in a cinema when it first came out was like.... :lol: )

Psycho

 

I reckon those five more than any others made me sit up and just go "OH MY FUKKIN GOD!!!!!"

 

Here are some that also had an impact on me...

 

Taxi Driver

Alien

Suspiria

Raging Bull

Vertigo

Goodfellas

Irreversible

2001

Seven

The Usual Suspects

Syriana

Pan's Labyrinth
