What are you favorite Top 5 Movies of all time?

[72teeth]

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.

It's been almost a year since I last made a list, so why not? Remember this is my 10 favorite films, not necessarily what I'd consider to be the 10 "best" films of all time:

1.   Jurassic Park
2.   There Will Be Blood
3.   The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp
4.   Easy Rider
5.   American Beauty
6.   Distant Voices, Still Lives
7.   The Darjeeling Limited
8.   The Dish
9.   Ratatouille
10.   Fargo

1-5 are almost all on the same level. I think 1-8 would be fairly static in terms of my top 10 favorites, but 9 and 10 are liable to change depending on my mood.

The Darjeeling Limited is my favorite Wes Anderson Film too! So underrated. That or The Life Aquatic.

[InTylerWeTrust]

I'll do a Top 10 of my favorite movies that I've seen in the last month:


1. The Intouchables (Probably the funniest and happiest movie I've ever seen. A joy to watch)

2. Les Diaboliques (A Clouzot Masterpiece)

3. Life Lessons (Short) (Most underrated of all scorsese movies, Nick Nolte is amazing and this is where Scorsese's "Goodfellas" style really began)

4. Leaving Las Vegas (Nic Cage's performance is WOW and Elizabeth Shue gives the performance of her career)

5. Road to Perdition (Up there with American Beauty, I dare to say is even better)

6. Matador (Probably the greatest opening scene of all time, that Almodovar is one crazy dude)

7. An american werewolf in London (when it had to be funny, it was hilarious... when it had to be scary, it scared the shit outta me)

8. Into the wild (I'm late on this one, I had it on queue but just kept delaying it. What a gorgeous film)

9. The Prestige (Let's not kid ourselves... THIS is the best movie Nolan's ever made. Memento comes close 2nd)

10. Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (Not as good as OLD BOY, but pretty damn good)



P.S:  Reelist, I really like your list dude... Glad to see BODY DOUBLE and GHOST WORLD in there. Love those movies.

7.   The Darjeeling Limited

A Clockwork Orange
Punch—Drunk Love
Taxi Driver
My Darling Clementine
Marnie
Barry Lyndon
Gun Crazy
The Lady Eve
