Geez this is a hard one! Some hard choices, some controversial choices, but the first three are movies which I grew up loving. Scary Movie, to me, was one of the first big "spoof" movies, and many have since followed. Zoolander, a bit of a wildcard, I saw it the other night and I found it incredibly funny.

(not in order)
1. Home Alone
2. Independence Day
3. Jurassic Park
4. Scary Movie
5. Zoolander

 

[Perles]

1. Terminator 2
2. Sling Blade
3. Bus 174
4. Touching the Void
5. Brazil

 

[John_Arne_Riise]

1. Aliens
2. American History X
3. Terminator 2
4. Predator
5. The Ring

Dude, if you like that film you NEED to see the original 1935 Mutiny on the Bounty with Charles Laughton and Clark Gable, it wipes the floor with the Hopkins version and the Brando version, and is one of the most amazing films ever made.

02. Pulp Fiction (Quentin Tarantino)
03. The Godfather 1 and 2 (Francis Ford Coppola)

05. From Dusk Til Dawn (Robert Rodriguez)
06. Mutiny on the Bounty (1935 version - Frank Lloyd)
07. Miller's Crossing (The Coen Brothers)
08. Apocalypse Now (Francis Ford Coppola)
09. Diva (Jaques Beneux)
10. The Shawshank Redemption (Frank Darabont)
11. Citizen Kane (Orson Welles)
12. El Topo (Alejandro Jodorowsky)
13. Eight and a Half (Federico Fellini)

I suppose I cant just count two Godfathers, it has to be all or one, and GF3 would pull it down to about #8. I really cant choose between 1 and 2 though, 1 has awesome acting and some wonderful scenes, but 2 has those fantastic flashbacks and a better storyline. I think 2 has to be my favourite by a tiny margin, despite Brando and Caan.

BTW, for anyone who's interested, Mr Simon Clitoris is a character from an extremely funny sketch writting by Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie about spoon bending.
