The Innocents (Clayton, 1961)

In no particular order:

Jaws - One of Spielberg's earliest and still his best, IMHO.

Pulp Fiction - Just a great flick. Spawned a sh!tload of imitators.

Alien & Bladerunner (tie) - Ridley Scott made two of the best SF movies ever early on in his career.

Annie Hall - Still Woody's best. I find myself quoting lines from this movie all the time.

The Shining - Most people wouldn't put this above some other Kubricks, but I enjoy this one the most. Sorry, Stephen K., this beats the pants off your TV miniseries and is the best adaptation of any of your novels.

 

I just came up with about 50 off the top of my head — about a third of which have been
mentioned here already. So I'll create my five mostly from those not mentioned yet.

1. The Great Escape
2. Kelly's Heroes
3. The Quiet Man
4. Saving Private Ryan
5. The Bourne Trilogy

2001: A Space Odyssey
Z

 

Changes all the time but FWIW, Martin Scorsese's top 5:

Citizen Kane
The Red Shoes
The Searchers
8 1/2
The Leopard

In the 1992 Sight & Sound poll, Martin Scorsese said he could only list five because more than that would open up the floodgates to countless films. Great list because you can even see the influence each and every one of them has had on almost every film he's made. (And rarely a literal influence.)

 

Milagro Beanfield War

On Her Majesty's Secret Service

Lemans

South Park

Almost Famous (untitled version)

 

In no particular order-

COMEDIES-

1. Blazing Saddles- A brilliant example of satire that probably couldn't get made today.
2. Midnight Run- A great road film that showed the comedic skills of Robert De Niro and Charles Grodin.
3. 48 Hours/Beverly Hills Cop- The two best movies Eddie Murphy ever made.
4. That Thing You Do!- Enjoyable from start to finish, and a catchy title tune to boot.
5. Duck Soup- A great Marx Brothers film, and their last with Zeppo.

 

1. Blade Runner
2. The Player
3. To Live And Die In LA
4. Animal House
5. Lord of the Rings (this is one movie in case you were wondering. )
