all time top 5 movies n why

[t_ginuwine]

1. Pulp Fiction - dialouge was brilliant, "The vulgarity-laced monologues and conversations ripple with humor and are ripe with points to ponder. Foot massages, hamburgers, comfortable silence, a gold watch, pot bellies, divine intervention, and filthy animals - all these and more receive the writer's attention as he presents meaningless issues in an intensely-fascinating and almost lyrical fashion. Who else (except perhaps David Mamet) can make profanity sound so poetic?"

2. resevior dogs - gritty violence, brilliant gripping script and plot twists to keep you in suspense. Intelligent and visceral at the same time.

3. Fargo - predictable story line but the way the film carried through was cool
4 fight club - the depicited graphic violence was wicked, but the underlying purpose was nature of man and what can happen when the numbing effects of day-to-day drudgery cause people to go a little crazy

C'mon! No list of the top 5 can be complete without 2001: A Space Odyssey. All-time, groundbreaking, mindblowing, classic sci-fi.

Now, move along - there's nothing else to see here...

1. Star Wars Trilogies - Some of the best cinematic memories for me, especially A New Hope when I was a wee impressionable little lad.
2. Indiana Jones Trilogy - Good old fashioned romp with a larger than life hero.
3. Terminator Trilogy - I just loved the concept of this trilogy. Preserving the past to save the future.
4. The Killer - The line seperating good and evil is blurred in this movie of loyalty and honour between a hitman and a cop.
5. Aliens - Just an awesome movie.

Not Ordered, and off the top of my head.

The Fog of War - The best documentary I've ever seen. The score by Phillip Glass is incredible, I don't think I've ever heard a movie score match the mood of the movie so well, or maybe the music sets the mood. In either case it's brilliant . Easily the most interesting I've seen so far. Errol Morris really knows an good story when he sees one.

NARC - Intense, no fluff, violent. Two awsome actors. I can't think of anything meaningful to say, other than I love this film.

Endless Summer II - A fun, and funny film. Great story about 2 surfers following the summer and the surf around the world. Extremely rewatchable. If your thinking you need to know something about surfing to enjoy a film like this you'd be mistaken.

Lord of the Rings: EE trilogy - I've never seen a movie so epic in so many ways. A movie this long and yet this unceasingly entertaining is rare.

Winged Migration - The concept is simple, tell the story of migrating birds. The execution of that concept is stunning. Absolutely blew me away like no other movie.



Honestly I could replace these five movies with at least a dozen others, hehe. Keep in mind these are just personal favorites, and personal opinions. I say this because I don't want to burden people with super high expectations that might distract them from actually watching the film more closely than they normally might have had it not been recommended to them at all. Know what I mean? Bah, It's late and i'm rambling. If you watch 'em and like 'em I'm glad.

Now that's an interesting list!

Not just the standard pablum, but some really cool wacked out choices.

Off the top though, I hate the crappy LOTR adaptation and won't hear otherwise - don't waste my time - though the book itself, is my all-time favourite.

But Fog of War, Winged Migration, and Narc are awesome choices, 'cause they're great movies.

I regret to inform you that I have not seen Endless Summer II...

PS: I gotta hear some more of your dozen!!!
