Mine top 5 are all dead arty foreign ones that nobody will have heard of.

i would have a top 5 for different moods and genres.

1) I'm Not There
2) Dr Strangelove
3) Lost In Translation
4) Manhattan
5) Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind

Of course, this isn't definitive, except for the first one. I can't help it, I'm quite disturbingly so a fan of Bob Dylan.

Seven Samurai
Goodfellas
La Haine
Howard the Duck

Can't be arsed trying to think of the other 3 though

2. Mysterious Skin
3. Little Miss Sunshine
4. Mulholland Drive
5. The Grudge

I think that's it anyway.

2. Bridget Jones's Diary 2: The Edge Of Reason
3. Bridget Jones's Diary 3: The Crumbliest, Flakiest Milk Chocolate In The World

1) 24 Hour Party People
2) Ghost World
3) Taxi Driver
4) Dogville
5) The Filth And The Fury

(i keep changing my mind between The Filth... and Westway To The World, but I think overall The Filth is probably better)

The Truman Show
Don't Look Now
Donnie Darko
Wayne's World
Good Will Hunting

something like that.

so these arn't really in any order.

2. The Shining
3. Stand By Me

2 true romance
3 goodfellas
4 amelie
5 raging bull

but the list usually includes:

me and you and everyone we know

1. Driving Miss Daisy
2. Anal Screamers
3. Triumph of the Will
4. I Married a Lawnmower
5. A non-existent Hong Kong action movie called "Shit/Fuck" that compulsive liar Steven Collins told me he'd seen when we were 11.

but not exactly a 'definitive' top five (in no particular order):

Rushmore (in fact, i'll go out on a limb and say that this is probably my all time favourite film. every time i watch it, i forget how long is left and get all pleasantly surprised that there's still, like, an hour left)
Spider-Man
Star Wars, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
The Big Lebowski (why has this not been mentioned earlier? srsly guys - come the fuck on)

and i can't decide on a fifth, but it'll no doubt be made by Guillermo del Toro. Cronos, Pan's Labyrinth or Hellboy, most likely.

2. kids in the hall brain candy
3. bill & teds excellent adventure
4. eternal sunshine....
5. edward scissorhands

1. Gladiator
2. The Lives of Others
3. Gandhi
4. Apocalypse Now

The first two are the only real ranked ones... The Truman Show, Michael Clayton and The Thin Red Line were all close to making the list...

2. escape to witch mountain
3. ace ventura pet detective
4. the pianist
5. the goonies (such a cliché these days but i have seen it around 15 times and i <3 it just as much each time)

electroma, electroma, electroma, electroma

Eternal Sunshine
Il Posto

No other films could I possibly rank as a favourite, maybe days of heaven or once upon a time in the west?

Probably not though, I don't think i'm old enough to have proper favourite things.

have a terrible memory and am indecisive, so as much as i'd like to do a list i can't even begin.

- bringing up baby
- before sunset
- the philadelphia story
- north by northwest
- high noon
