2. The Princess Bride.
3. Bladerunner
4. Anything by Akira Kurosawa (7 sam. Roshimon, Rhapsody in August, Dersu Uzala, the list goes on...)
5. The Saragasso Manuscript (Jerry Garcias favorite movie too!)
If you're asking me for geek culture stuff, then it's:
1. Blade Runner
2. Brazil
3. Aliens
4. Forbidden Planet
5. Dune
If you're asking for high-brow stuff, it's:
1. M
2. 8 1/2
3. Chinatown
4. The Sacrifice
5. The Third Man
Not that Blade Runner or Brazil are low-brow (they've made top 100 lists) but it's a different 'genre', so to speak.
Blade Runner
LOTR
Spiderman 2
Gattaca
The Matrix (original only, for goodness sake).
Let's see in no particular order...
Citizen Kane
Casablanca
Dead Poet's Society
Raiders of the Lost Ark
(and cheating here) Lord of the Rings (Peter Jackson).
Iron Man might, just might, bump someone out if it holds up to repeated viewing once it hits DVD and cable. It just may be my favorite super hero flick ever, and could wind up in the top 5.
Others that have been in the top 5 at one point but been bumped over time: Maltese Falcon, Star Wars (A New Hope), Empire Strikes Back, Batman (the Tim Burton original), Excalibur, Adventures of Robin Hood (Errol Flynn), Back to the Future, Glory, Dances with Wolves, Breakfast Club, Lord of the Rings (Bashki animated), and Braveheart.
I am also a sucker for any Ray Harryhausen film and will watch the Dino DiLaurentis produced Flash Gordon and Bashki/Frazetta's Fire and Ice any time I catch them on(though I finally got both on DVD last year).
