Not in any order-
1 Laputa Castle in the sky- It's a wonderful film.
2 Scott Pilgrim vs the world- It's just a geeky film perfect for me.
3 Wall-E- I am touch by the romance story.
4 AnchorMan- That film always make me laugh.
5 Catch me if you can- I just loved the game of cat and mouse and how far he can get away with it.

High fivez!
Which one? Johnny Depp or Gene Wilder?
Blimey, haven't seen that in an age and a half...(!)
Really should read the graphic novel one of these days...
Last time I saw Fantasia 2000 was in 2000. The only parts I remember from that are Stravinsky's Firebird burning everything, and The Sorcerer's Apprentice because it still gives me the shits they repeated it.SckizoBoy said:
Bought it on Blu-ray and DVD in one box not long ago cause I just had to. Don't judge me! Then I'll probably watch it straight away when I get my projector working again, which means in about a month, because it's too good for the idiot box.SckizoBoy said:

Willy Wonka is the original, Charlie and the chocolate factory is the Johnny Depp one. Which I can't stand. Gene Wilder ftw!
Fun fact: the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory focuses more on Charlie and his families characters, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory focuses more on Willy Wonkas character.
Also, you can't beat the music of the first one.
(this has been stuck in my head for a week. Now it's your turn >
)Older movies just have a completely different feel about them that I can't put my finger on, but I just love it ^_^
That's not to say I don't like newer stuff. (Star Trek comes to mind!)
Hmmmm, it would be easier if you let us rank our top 500 instead of just five awsome films, so I'll restrict this to films that haven't been named yet.
The Shawshank redemtion
The Blues Brothers
The Simpsons movie
Das Leben der anderen ('The life of others' for people that don't speak German)
Montey Python's Life of Brain
Others that could use a mention:
Snatch
Lock, stock, and two smoking barrels
The Pianist
1984 (the version with John Hurt)
The Magnificent 7 (though we have had 7 samurai mentioned which is where the story originated)
Shrek 2

Ach! This is such an impossible topic, I can hardly think of my top 5 movies of a particular GENRE most days. So, faced with an impossible task, I'll do the cowardly thing and slyly change my 'Top Five Favorite Movies' to 'Top Five Movies I've Seen This Year'. These are films I saw for the first time in 2011, and are still fresh in my mind.
5. Midnight in Paris (2011)- Woody Allen has crafted a wonderful little film here. Owen Wilson shines as an optimistic romantic whose desire to be inspired by Paris leads him on a fantastic journey through different periods of Paris' history. Allen's reflection on his own obsession with nostalgia is both charming and funny, and definitely worth a watch.
4. Mr Nobody (2009)- Get your head around this; a 118 year old man, who at times convinced he is only 34, recounts his life stories (yes, multiple) to a reporter in the year 2092. Based on how choices affect the outcome of our lives, the film explores a wide variety of subjects with this concept, inviting us to view the three major 'paths' of this man's life, flicking between the possible outcomes at a whim. A film that demands and deserves your attention, it left me wondering about my own life - and a film that makes me think like that is a film worth your time.
3. Drive (2011) - I loved this film. Atmospheric films have always been favourites of mine (see: The Warriors) and Drive was a golden example of how minimal dialogue can not just work in a film, but enhance it too. I've always thought Ryan Gosling was an under-appreciated actor, especially after watching Blue Valentine and Half Nelson, and here he's just as good - as the gifted driver who becomes involved in a 'deal gone wrong'. Opinions have been divided on this film (I think the trailer made it look too much like 'The Fast and the Furious') but I loved it.
2. Death at a Funeral (2007) - One of the funniest films I have ever seen. Ever. This story of lunacy surrounding a funeral just tickles in all the right places. It's every kind of humour you could ask for. It's witty, it's silly, it's clever, it's dry, and I loved it to bits. I can't really describe what happens without giving away jokes, so I'll just say that this would have been my film of the year, if not for...
1. Son of Rambow (2007) - This cross-section of childhood plays like a British version of 'Stand By Me' in its subtly poignant portrayal of the unlikely friendship between an overprotected child from a religious family, and a 'terror-child' whose family are almost nowhere to be seen. It's funny, sweet, poignant and yet subtle, never throwing the emotion too high or too in-your-face. The two child protagonists are phenomenal, the characters around them bring their world to life, and their story is guaranteed to make most of you smile. For me, this is what movie-making should be. Brilliant.

Pulp fiction. It's hilarious, exciting and unique.
Favourite quote: Does he look, like a *****!!??
Gladiator. It has your heart pumping in every single scene.
Favourite quote: Are you not entertained?
Monthy python life of brian. Funniest movie I ever watched.
Favourite quote: From now on you shall be called Brian that is called Brian.
Up. My favourite adventure movie of all time.
Favourite quote: Thanks for the adventure, now go have yourself a new one.
Dr. Strangelove or How I learned to stop fearing and love the bomb. It only has half a dozen good scenes but those are good enough for me to put it in my top five.
Favourite quote: You can't fight in here, this is the war room!
Please note, I haven't watched nearly all the movies I'd like to yet so this is an incomplete list. I also didn't include any movies that are part of a series, because that's not how movies work for me.
Also, my top 25 movies are so close to perfection in my mind that there is no "best".

Suddenly thought of Blazing Saddles! Anyway, Young Frankenstein anyone?!Catchy Slogan said:
And I have a preference for older films as well (for the most part)... especially war movies. Few of them made after 1985(-ish) compare to the older movies. I have a rant building up somewhere, but I'll restrain myself.
Yup! ^_^ 'Der Kaleu' is based on Heinrich-Lehmann Willenbrock (or rather, basically is H-L W) and Lt Werner was a war correspondent called Lothar-Gunther Buchheim. And it was the U-96 as well, in IRL. Wolfgang Petersen had a damned good thing going when he made Das Boot (the entire cast and a lot of the crew were basically confined to a massive warehouse where all principle indoor and at sea shooting took place, to reflect the complexion of the sub crews... and no shaving! Apart from that uptight 1st Lt!).SmashLovesTitanQuest said:
LOL (forgotten what it is in German... haven't seen it in a while...)the Number 2 said:
Actually, that second officer is probably the only thing that prevents the movie from being downright depressing...
These aren't in any particular order. I can't look at one and say "Oh that's better than that one." I love all of them
1. Memento
2. Fight Club
3. Pan's Labyrinth
4. Pulpfiction
5. American Beauty
There are others, but you made me only list five

You two have grabbed two of my favorite movies, in no particular order:Slash Dementia said:
Clerks: Clerks was the movie that made me appreciate movies. I saw it when I was 13 (2003 on DVD two days before Christmas), and I loved it. Amazing movie. I watch it as a Christmas movie every year, and it doubles as a New Years movie too, because I always see something about me in Dante and Randall, Dante mostly.
Metropolis: If we are talking the 1927 Silent Film, absolutely. I have seen that movie about 5 times now (I can average one - maybe two viewings if it was okay), and I am still in love with it. P.S. - What do you think about the Giorgio Moroder version of Metropolis, assuming we are still talking about the same Metropolis?
Brave Little Toaster - A movie from my childhood. I rewatched it the other day, and I can convince you that Pixar actually took the plots for setting up all three Toy Story movies from this one movie. A Fantastic little animated movie, The musical numbers are fun, not annoying, and the ending, I can still feel the hairs on my arm stand up.
Harry and the Hendersons - It is guaranteed that I will cry every single time I watch this movie. Get me 15 minutes into the movie, and I will bawl every few minutes, just because I feel like I got stabbed in the heart. It moves me probably like most people got moved by E.T., or Wall-E or what have you.
And I can never come up with a fifth hardly ever because it changes all the time.
So I'll just say my 5th changes between:
Blue Velvet
Dark City
Dollman
Street Fighter
Boogie Nights
And give me a week, I'll find something else to put there.
1. Pirate Radio or as its known in England The Boat that Rocked
2. The Runaways
3. Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist
4. Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope
5. Butterfly Effect
