After reading what some say are the worst movie they have ever seen, and since I'm new around here, I was curious what your top five favorites are. Mine are in order:
The Wizard of Oz
Born Free
Gone With the Wind
Schindler's List
Gypsy

I like this question! Definetly numero uno is the glorious Sound of Music, the rest are not in order but close runner ups are The Wizard of Oz, On Goldon Pond, A Christmas Carol and Titanic (the recent version).

In absolutely no order, and subject to change with the whims of the week: - Shrek (my kind of humor)
- Gandhi (a beautiful movie)
- Schindler's List
- Arsenic and Old Lace (again, my kind of humor)
- Galaxy Quest (as above) I really enjoyed most of the movies y'all have already mentioned, too.

Oh this question is simply impossible...but I'll give it a shot. I think I'll narrow it to English language films here, since it seems like the theme: Full Metal Jacket
Gandhi
Amadeus
Mississippi Burning
Twelve Angry Men
Do the Right Thing
Schindler's List
The Mission Okay, that's 8...so sue me!

Hmmm, let's see: 1) Gladiator
2) Saving Private Ryan
3) Kiss of The Dragon
4) The Matrix
5) Heat
6) Any of the earlier Pink Panther films - absolutely hilarious . These change though, depending on what type of mood I'm in, and which films I've seen recently. I really love action films, especially Martial Art films although I'll watch most types of films - action, thriller, sci-fi, some horror, war, comedies, anything really (apart from biopics)  .
