Film Your Top 5 Films of all Time

[Simbo]

Ok I had a look, this threads not been done in over 10 years. Was just thinking of this because a more recent film seems have to crept into mine. Mostly base mine on what I just enjoy rewatching the most... Personal entertainment rather than whatever nerdy critics would technically judge a 'quality' movie.

No real order here for me, the top 2 interchangeable, the other 3 I'd put together also.

Heat
Last of the Mohicans.
Edge of Tomorrow
Top Gun: Maverick
Pulp Fiction

No, I don't care about your other 10-20 or whatever gets close. There's a ton trying to get into the top 5 for me, tough, I know its difficult, choose 5.

 

[Salt Bailly]

Good Will Hunting
Heat
Interstellar
Requiem For A Dream
Shawshank

 

[Salt Bailly]

Never seen last of the mohicans, need to get around to that.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

The Godfather
The Godfather II
Pulp Fiction
Apocalypse Now

I can't decide the 5th spot. I could pick any of The Deer Hunter, Shawshank Redemption, Goodfellas or Heat depending on my mood.

The other two are between the below (depending on my mood):

[Wibble]

Apocalypse Now
Godfather 2
Blade Runner - The Final Cut
Godfather
Gladiator

I probably wouldn't have chosen Gladiator normally but I watched it for the first time in many years and it is a very good film. One of the great historical epics. In much the same way Saving Private Ryan is a great WW2 epic. Both a bit loose with history, but really well made, great cinematography and bloody good fun.

Oppenheimer was excellent but far too recent to include on the one watch. I loved The Deer Hunter when I first watched it but much at all when rewatched.
