Your Top 5 Movies

[Bucki1968]

So, me and boys are sitting around Sunday after we played all of 9 holes (weather) and having some beverages and got into a heated conversation about the best movies of all time. After about an hour of back and forth we agreed on the following movies being top 5 of all time:

1. Shawshank Redemption

2. Fight Club

3. The Empire Strikes Back

 

We could not agree on anymore. These come from a group (this week) of 6 ranging in age from 29-59. Probably why we couldn't agree on any others.

Would love to hear from anyone else who has an opinion. Maybe you can come up with some we just couldn't remember?

My top 5 would be these

1. Lord of the Rings Trilogy (I consider this one long movie split into 3 parts)

2. Saving Private Ryan

3. The Big Lebowski

4/5. Pulp Fiction / Lost in Translation (

Spots 4 and 5 are negotiable and could really be filled by any of my favorite films depending on my mood.

• Boogie Nights
• Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
• Spinal Tap
• Fargo
• No Country for Old Men
• Godfather
• Good Fellas
• Empire Strikes Back
• My Neighbor Totoro
• Spirited Away
• Bridesmaids
• Superbad
• Pan's Labyrinth
• Silence of the Lambs
• Full Metal Jacket
• Apocalypse Now

The more I think about it and look at the movies I own, the more I come up with. I should probably stop.

I'm a bit of geek when it comes to mafia stuff, but I think Godfather has to be in any top 5.

I'd have a tough time arguing with anyone including Shawshank Redemption. 

One of my personal favorites that I think ought to be mentioned if not actually a top five is Raiders of The Lost Ark.

I have two top fives here. My Non-Guilty Pleasure Top Five... and My Guilty Pleasure Top Five. The latter list are my five favorite movies to watch when my internet goes down 😄

 

My Top Five:

1) Shawshank

2) Back to the Future

3) Jurassic Park

4) Ferris Bueller's Day Off

5) Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

 

My Guilty-Pleasure Top Five 😁:

1) Airborne

2) The Beach

3) The Thirteenth Floor

4) Total Recall

5) The Goonies

 

Shoutout to so many other movies that have entertained the crap out of me over the years too like Aliens, Back to the Future 2, Lord of the Rings, Barry Lyndon, Rounders, The Program, Goodfellas, Star Wars, Happy Gilmore, Edge of Tomorrow, Kingpin, Three Amigos, Spies like Us, Weird Science, The Fugitive, My Cousin Vinny, The Sandlot, Titanic, The Shining, Conan the Barbarian, Predator...

Man, now that I remembered Predator, I want to try to get it into my Top Five somehow. Such a fun one. 

Alright I'll stop there. I think if read this post in ten years, I'll probably be okay with this list, even the guilty pleasures!

I had Raiders and  Boogie Nights but got push back. I guess I should clarify, we had to pick only our top 5.
