    Righto I'm stuck home on a Friday night and need a awesome movie to watch. Not a so-so or pretty good movie. I want something that I'll finish up and get back on this forum and give it a solid 10 outta 10. There is every chance I have seen all such movies but I'm hoping one has slipped by. From the top of your heads without thinking muh what are your top 5 movies of all time?<br>
    Mine:<br>
    Forrest Gump<br>
    Braveheart<br>
    Fight Club<br>
    The Matrix<br>
    American History X

    <p>Back to the Future, Revenge of the Nerds, Shawshank (yeah, I know everybody blah blah), Beverly Hills Cop, Caddyshack</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I wonder what is my favourite genre of flick ...</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>EDIT - some other recent flicks which I've seen which I absolutely loved.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>The Martian</p>
    <p>The Big Short</p>
    <p>Wolf of Wall Street</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>And apparently Whiplash is supposed to be awesome.  About jazz drumming or something.</p>

    <p>The Godfather</p>
    <p>True Romance</p>
    <p>Platoon</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I can't think of any more right away. I did a top 10 list one time but can't remember it.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>In the top 10 would be Casablanca, Good Will Hunting, LA Confidential, Carlito's Way but not sure if they're in the top 5. Shawshank like MR, because it is just a really good movie.</p>

    <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>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>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>
