Your Top-5 Favorite Films

I thought this might be interesting... And give me some ideas for new films to watch...

What are your top-5 favorite Films??? (in any order and "at the moment")


Mine are:

25th Hour
Lord of the Rings Trilogy (That's right, I'm counting it as 1 film )
Tombstone
The Usual Suspects
The Big Lebowski

Memento
LOTR
Kill Bill (yes, counted as one movie as well)
Spider-Man (yes 1 + 2 and probably 3 - generally impressed with the way the captured the comic)

Fahrenheit 9/11
The Pianist


@RIDE: The Usual Suspects is so highly rated on IMDB etc., but I kind of found it predictable rather than what you probably found it

Matrix (all 3, though the 1st was the best)
LEON (longer version of The Professional)
HEAT (Pacino and Deniro)
Highlander (the original)
Bound (dir by the Wachowski Bros)

Reservoir Dogs
Vanilla Sky
Donnie Darko
The Big Lebowski
The Transporter

My favorite, per genre.

The more I watch it.. the more predictable it is to me...
Really, I enjoy the storyline and some of the small details, and really enjoy Kevin Spacey as an Actor.

The other movie I listed was The Big Lebowski.. The first time I saw this, I wondered if my sister-in-law (She recommended the film to me) was mildly-retarded.... I saw it a second time (against my will), I really started to like it.... now it has become one of my all-time favorite movies... Simply Hilarious.

(in no particular order)

1. Bloody Sunday by Paul Greengrass
2. Elephant by Gus Van Sant
3. Suicide Club (a crazy Japanese film)
4. The Thin Red Line by Terrance Malick
