What's in the box? My mind. Blown!
Since they're like poetry, what with the rhyming and all, I find that I only need to watch three out of the six films.

Maybe I should finally make a definitive list...gosh it would be long.
I've sort of had one for about 20 years, but films have come along that moved me so much that I had to make room for them. Then I locked down 5 that would always be in the list and allowed 5 that were fluid. However, even that hasn't worked because I start wanting to change the locked 5 around, move one up, down, take a bottom 5 film and replace a locked 5 with it, etc.
I've been wanting to sit down myself and see if I could really do it, but I don't know, man. Too many great films out there. I could probably nail down a top 20.
Crimson. Eleven. Delight. Petrichor.

The thread can now contain your current top five if you can't think of just one.

Magister Pontifex MaximusI can't really chose even five, every time I attempt this sort of thing I always change my mind.
I have noticed I tend to evangelise The Ninth Configuration a lot.

aka PancakesTop five, eh?
Alright then. My current top 5 as of now, in no particular order:
- Blade Runner (Final or Director's Cut)
- The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
- Apocalypse Now (Theatrical; NOT the "redux" version)
- The Usual Suspects
- Abre los Ojos (aka Open Your Eyes - remade as the inferior Vanilla Sky)
This will likely change by the end of the day, and again by the time I go to bed, and again when I wake up in the morning ...
Anyway, honorable mentions that often make it into my top 5, but didn't quite make it today:
Alien
Almost Famous (Director's Cut)
Blue Velvet
City of God
Close Encounters of the Third Kind (Theatrical or Director's Cut; NOT Special Edition)
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
The Fall
The Fountain
Groundhog Day
The Iron Giant
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Let the Right One In
MASH
Moon
Pan's Labyrinth
Raiders of the Lost Ark
The Road
Six-String Samurai (not so much a "best" as a "favorite," if that makes sense)
Thank You for Smoking
There Will Be Blood
Wow, that list became longer than I thought it would. Sorry about that.

That's three movies, unless you are going by some weird Lucas definition.

Almost Famous[/i] (Director's Cut)
Is this version that much better? I do rather enjoy the theatrical cut, and I'm curious. Plus i look like Patrick Fugit.

aka PancakesI think it's better, but the theatrical version is almost as good. Just not quite.

You catch on pretty quick.
... And they had 'The Empire Strikes Back', the fifth of the four Star Wars films. He is fucking with us numerically, isn't he! "Children, count up to ten." "Four, five, six, one, two, three, ten". No, it goes, four, five, six, one, two, three… No, it goes: four, five, six. One... Two and three have not been made." "Two and three have not been made! What should they be?" "What should they be? We do not know. All we know is that there will be a big floppy character in it that goes, squawk squawk squawk... who needs a punch up the bracket!"

has been intentionally left blank.I'll never be able to do a definitive list but after a quick glance at my Dvd shelves -
Predator / Star Trek VI / Goonies / El Laberinto del Fauno / the Count of Monte Christo / Grondhog Day / Abyss / The wizard of Oz
and pretty much everything ChainsawAsh listed. Especially the Fall - loved that.
oh, except the Usual Suspects - seriously, am I the only person who doesn't like that movie?

I'm with 005. I don't know anyone who dislikes The Usual Suspects. Did you have the ending spoiled for you before you saw it, perhaps?

is automatic for the people.I have not seen The Usual Suspects
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish memes.

I haven't seen it either. I have however seen The Room. Does that make up for it?

aka PancakesYou both need to watch The Usual Suspects pretty much immediately. I'd recommend going in as spoiler-free as you possibly can.
