5 favourite movies

Recommended Posts

Me wondering what type of movies people who play doom watch.
I think that was a sentence?

For me my top 5 movies would be:
1. Office Space. Coz I can relate to it soooo well.
2. Blues Bros. Man I want that car.
3. Star Wars 4,5, &6. Can't beat some of those classic lines. The new ones belong in hell. IMO
4. Kelly's Heroes. It's just too stupid.
5. Shanghai Noon. Owen Wilson is just an idiot.

Anyway that is my five off the top of my head. I'm sure there are others that would kick some of these out. But none come to mind.
And it's getting late for me down here in 'The Great Down Under'.
Me work tomorrow (Sat) start 6:30am. I wanna cry :(
I have no life left. Work & the pressures of society have completely sucked whatever life I had out and replaced it with a poor self esteem and little will to live, so that they can make money out of me for the next 40 years in an underpaid, boring as all hell job. That makes me question my life (or lack of) every single day. But not quiet enough to make me do anything about it.
Anyway I think this thread was about movies. But what can you do?
I better go.

The Fellowship of the Ring - of course. The actors, the effects, the cinematography, the soundtrack, it's all beyond amazing.

The Shawshank Redemption, also mentioned by AndrewB, is definitely a masterpiece. It's rated the second best movie ever on IMDB, so that's not just our opinion. I'd put that movie in my top 5 any day.

The Alien series, and Aliens in particular. Just because.

The Indiana Jones and Star Wars movies (episode 1 & 2 excluded).

Das Boot - because it's so damn well done. And tense.

Other movies I really, really like include Terminator 2, Predator, several Jim Carrey movies, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Beautiful Mind, several Jackie Chan movies, Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, Jurassic Park, Minority Report blah, blah. Many recent movies there.

And like some have already said, Office Space is brilliant :)

Edit: damnit, I better not forget Gandhi.

That happens to be my favorite German movie - I like the atmosphere and the actors (especially the Captain).
That and because it's German - that language rocks :-)

That'd be Jurgan Prochnow - an excellent actor who's starred in 'Dune', 'Body of Evidence', 'The Seventh Sign' and 'Robin Hood' (The British version with Uma Thurman and Patrick Bergin - Keep Kevin Bloody Costner ;))
