Mine are:
Movies:
5. 300
4. Inglorious Bastards
3. Inception
2. Reservoir dogs
1. Pulp Fiction

Games:
5. Counter-Strike
4. Half-Life 2
3. Red Dead Redemption
2. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (simply because of the level "all ghillied up" and "aftermath", totally amazing.)
1. Mario Tenis for the gamecube (because I have never had a bad time playing that game, ever, just a completely fun experience all across the board.)

Sorry, I can't order these lists, it's too hard.
Films:
One flew over the Cuckoo's nest
Magnolia
Memento
Requiem for a Dream
Boys don't cry


Games:
Silent Hill 2
Bioshock
Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Team Fortress 2

These aren't accurate either (especially the films!) and vary greatly day-to-day based on my mood.

EDIT: Thanks Mr Thin for reminding me of American Beauty and A Clockwork Orange, and thanks itsausernamewhatofit for reminding me of both my incredibly bad memory, and The Shawshank Redemption! XD

Way too hard too put into a top 5 list, too many, here's some, not exactly top 5, but they are some of my favs, no order.

Movies
-Ed Wood (the film that made me want to be a filmmaker)
-Psycho
-Evil Dead 2 (Better than 1 for it's sheer insanity)
-Chinatown
-Donnie Darko

(I also have to mention Nosferatu for still been able to hold up pretty well after more than 100 years, but I can't put it as one of my favs, I also wanted to put Scott Pilgrim vs the World on the list, but Chinatown beat it, Rocky Horror as well, okay, too many have just to sprung to mind and I have to stop, EXORSIST!, SILENCE OD THE LAMBS!, I CAN'T STOP! MOVIES ARE JUST TOO GOOD! AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Games
-Half Life 2 (I reckon the best Half Life, But their all good)
-Portal
-Beyond Good & Evil
-Psychonaughts
-Left 4 Dead

That was hard, I'm sort of depressed now for all the good entries that I left out.
But that is as close as I am going to get.
