Yes, we've done this before, but I've never participated before...so here's my Top 5:1. Back to the Future (#1 if I have to pick just one and the whole series if that counts) - because it's the only movie I ever sat through with a whole tub of popcorn and soda and didn't touch it once. (Ironically, I now work at the very theater I saw this wonderful show--and the SAME projectionist is there today. Unfortunately I believe the same equipment is still there as well :P).
2. Contact - because Carl Sagan is my favorite author.
3. Seven/The Sixth Sense (tie) - because the ending was just awesome.
4. Natural Born Killers - because I'm just sick.
5. Star Wars - Because Lucas is God, ILM is The Son, and THX is the Holy Ghost. Soundtrack: 1. Maximum Overdrive (AC/DC Who Made Who)
2. Dazed & Confused
3. South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut
4. Forest Gump
5. 2001

5.Jaws As for the top five in soundtracks, I'd have to say: 1.Braveheart

Where do you start with something like this? I'm with Gracia, there are so many, and depending on your mood, you'll have five different ones at different times. Also, looking at the previous entries has made me remember other films that I like just as much, but didn't necessarily have in mind. I'm also a big B-Western fan, they're a part of my life. I have just as many films in that category that I feel just as strongly about. As far as I'm concerned, they merit their own list, but since no one else on the forum would likely know the titles, I'll spare everyone. So, with those qualifications: 1) Cinema Paradiso (I WAS this kid, it's astonishing)
2) Singing in the Rain
3) The Flim-Flam Man
4) Sling Blade
5) Ed Wood
