<p>Any early seventies Italian/American film that is centered on NYC will be bloody good. Obviously the Godfather and Godfather 2 are the nuts here.</p>

<p>I mainly watch genre movies now. Could have been some Argento and Assayas on the list though.</p> -
Watched Spies Like Us with my kids last night. Never actually saw it back in the day because the video we rented was dodgy. <br><br>
Was pretty good. Also a good history lesson for the kids about the Cold War and the threat of nuclear destruction. <br><br>
I believe Chevy Chase is an all-round fuckwit and looks like absolute shit now. But back in the day he did have a certain something that made him appealing. Certainly more so than the dude in the Vacation remake. -
<p>ended up watching School of Rock with the kids this afternoon on NIck...Is a cool movie</p>
-
<p>Will try and put them in genres as best I can, no way on earth can I name a mere five movies. That's absolutely impossible.( in any case I'm sure to forget a few that should be on the list )</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Series/trilogies - Star Wars, Bond, Raiders, Aliens, Back to the Future, Dollars trilogy, Dirty Harry, Terminator</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Comedies - Super Troopers, Beverley Hills Cop, Bad Santa, Trading Places, Slammin Salmon, Kingpin, Friday series</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Action - Commando, Predator, Heat ( or is this more a drama ? ), Saving Private Ryan, Enter the Dragon, Game of Death ( or are these kung fu movies ? ), Carlitos Way, Scarface</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Drama - Schindlers List, Gran Torino, Shawshank Redemption, Deer Hunter</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Horror - 28 days/weeks later, Hostel, Event Horizon, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Hannibal series</p> -
Action: Under Siege<br><br>
Probably the best of the one guy taking on a whole army movies with the added bonus of Erika Eleniaks astonishing tits. -
<p>Took the kids to "The Secret Life of Pets" yesterday. The chance to explore a really cool concept was missed by the writers, who effectively re-made Toy Story with dogs. </p>

Apocalypse Now<br>
Raging Bull<br>
Withnail & I<br>
Austin Powers 2&3<br>
Blade Runner<br>
Casino Royale<br>
Burn After Reading<br><br>
Burn After Reading probably my fave of the lot. -
<p>I'll stick to the original '5 movies' question</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Star Wars</p>
<p>ROTLA</p>
<p>Ferris Bueller's Day Off</p>
<p>Princess Bride</p>
<p>BTTF</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>May not be the 'best' movies I've ever seen (SW excepted) but are the ones I still enjoy whenever I see them.</p>
