What are you favorite Top 5 Movies of all time?

[polkablues]

I think we all have that one movie, though, that we can't help but love more than the world finds acceptable.  For instance, P is obsessed with some imaginary Terrence Malick movie that he's convinced actually exists.  And I love Waking the Dead.  So we all have our crosses to bear.

Based off films I will rewatch over and over again, there are three (in no particular order) that I'd say are definitely solid "favorites" of mine:

There Will Be Blood
Jurassic Park
The Life And Death of Colonel Blimp

And, yes, I know it's another Spielberg, but: Raiders of the Lost Ark

These are my (guilty) favorites, remember - not necessarily my "best" films. That's a whole other list.

Used to be I'd include American Beauty on this list too, but although I have been wanting to rewatch it recently, it has been a few years. 25th Hour and Fight Club, too. Maybe some Pixars. Potentially Darjeeling Limited.

Can't think of others right now that I'd say were really favorites, although there are others I've rewatched numerous times also.

EDIT: In Bruges is close to being on the list too.

I used to watch PDL about once a year, but I'm saving my next experience for when it comes out on blu-ray. WHY ISN'T IT OUT ON BLU-RAY?

Jackie Brown

I still think this is Tarantino's best film.

[Sleepless]

Jackie Brown

I still think this is Tarantino's best film.

There's no question in my mind.

Jackie Brown

I still think this is Tarantino's best film.

There's no question in my mind.

This is a given. He'll never come close to this again.

This is why i love xixax. Ive only ever heard gasps at the menton of this, but its completely true.

[ono]

It's because he's so subdued.  He controls all his worst impulses and that's what makes it work.

[O.]

It was a balancing act. He showed directorial restraint with Jackie Brown, then directly afterwards, showed the exact opposite with Kill Bill.

[pete]

jackie brown was good, but out of sight good. it's much more interesting to see the mess he made in kill bill, and while I don't champion the film, I really don't find much wrong with it, and I enjoy seeing where he takes me and I enjoy mostly how his films are just basically 8 or 9 really long scenes that build on themselves, mostly through talking. these are fun things that I enjoy seeing in a film, not every film, but it's cool when he comes out with one every three years.
