    Can people posting on this thread please limit their answers to the required five? This means no long lists of "runners up" or "honourable mentions".

    Otherwise, what's the point?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,701 ✭✭✭Bacchus


    1:Godfather 2
    2:Shawshank Redemption
    3:Raging Bull
    4:One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest
    5:The Great Escape

    I have many runners up and honourable mentions but guess I'm prohibited from mentioning them now. It's very hard picking a top 5, it's like choosing between your children.
    I think the above is the closest to a top 5 that I have.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,592 ✭✭✭Ro: maaan!


    1. Memento
    2. American History X
    3. Feris Bueller's Day Off
    4. Mallrats
    5. Go

    ...I think.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 801 ✭✭✭puntosporting

    In no particular order mind you:

    starwars
    forest gump
    pulp fiction
