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.
The thread can now contain your current top five if you can't think of just one.
I 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.
Top five, eh?
Alright then. My current top 5 as of now, in no particular order:
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.
Five off the top of my head:
Jaws
Aliens
Inception
Back to the Future
Jurassic Park
Star Wars Revisited Wordpress
Star Wars Visual Comparisons WordPress

Here's a list off the top of my head. In no way definitive and in no particular order:
Star Wars trilogy (1977, 1980, 1983)
Dawn of the Dead (1978)
Bride of Frankenstein (1935)
Billy Liar (1963)
A Taste Of Honey (1961)

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

So? And isn't that Ric Ollie's job?

I thought about it. But I thought some people here might have taken me seriously.
IT'S MY TRILOGY, AND I WANT IT NOW!

It's not my place to disagree with you.

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

You catch on pretty quick.
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?

That movie totally scared me as a kid.

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?
I have not seen The Usual Suspects
Quick, someone tell Sluggo the ending!
I haven't seen it either. I have however seen The Room. Does that make up for it?
I haven't seen that either. I am waiting for a fan-edit that adds back in all the cut scenes. They should call it "The Padded Room".
You both need to watch The Usual Suspects pretty much immediately. I'd recommend going in as spoiler-free as you possibly can.
I'll check it out. :-)
