[Mark300zx]

I have seen pretty much all I want to watch in the past few years I am now digging back through the classics and looking for inspiration, so fire away?

In no particular order:

Dr Strangelove
Withnail and I
Terminator
Apocalypse Now Redux
Airplane!
Jaws
The Wicker Man
Chevalier du Ciel
Dambusters
Buffalo Soldiers
Napoleon Dynamite
Twelve Monkeys

That's about five, right?

[Mark300zx]

I'll let you off

[Vincecj]

White Heat
Zulu
Where's the Fire
Smokey and the Bandit
Animal House

5 is not enough.

[The jiffle king]

1) 12 Angry men
2) The secrets in their eyes (Los secretos en los ojos - Subtitled but amazing)
3) Cool hand Luke
4) Birdman of Alcatraz (takes time to get going but a great film)
5) Kes (only for the football scene with Brian Glover)

Notable ones to miss out from my list:
Rebel without a cause
The swimmer
The war of the buttons (Yes it's only me that thinks this is a good film)

[GetCarter]

Agree: 5 not enough. Need at least 50. But:

The lives of others
All the Presidents men
2001
Shawshank Redemption
Schindler’s List


Gotta have 12 Angry Men and Spinal Tap in there too!

Just 5 is very difficult but here goes

1. Close Encounters of the Third Kind - never seen it on the big screen but would love to.

2. Fargo - Close to perfect.

3. Pulp Fiction - Teeters on the cusp of Tarantino believing his own hype.

4. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea - It shows its age but James Masons Captain Nemo is one of the great ambiguous villians in cinema.

5. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Bonkers and brilliant. Life and love in all its messy confusing surprising glory.

[Moonhawk]

Difficult to choose just 5 - but these I can just pick up and watch any time.

Aliens (Special Edition)
Grosse Point Blank
Breakfast Club
Stand By Me
The Abyss (Special Edition)

[Doofus]

1. Flew Over TheCuckoo's Nest
2. For The Road
3. Men And A Baby
4. Warriors
5. Minutes Of Heaven
