Jaws
Jaws 2

1) Star Wars
2) Lord of the Rings (I can't pick 1 of the trilogy, so am treating it as one)
3) It's a Wonderful Life
4) Casablanca
5) Dances With Wolves

Tomorrowland is so underrated.
Casablanca is a true film lover’s must see.

Tomorrowland is one that could have easily made my list too. It might be number 6. That is a GREAT movie and I think every world leader should be forced to sit down and watch it Clockwork Orange style.

 

[Praying Colonel]

1 Lawrence of Arabia
2 Godfather
3 Casablanca
4 Godfather Part II
5 And to put a comedy in here, I'll go with Caddyshack.

On any particular day I could switch around 1, 2 & 3. Today that's how I'd rank them.

I'm glad to see a vote for The Quiet Man. I love that movie and it would make my list if we could choose more than 5. So beautifully shot and the characters are wonderful. That's John Ford at his peak, IMHO. An underrated movie.

Have you seen His Girl Friday? It is a movie for those who love Arsenic and Old Lace.

And Bringing Up Baby.

 

[Schneewittchen37]

(I decided to omit MCU movies as they would take up a lot of this list, though honestly a lot of the plot threads I love are spread out through several movies, making it difficult to pick out specific favorites)

Lord of the Rings (I consider them one movie, but if I HAD to pick one, Return of the King)
The Great Gatsby (2013)
Casino Royale (2006)
Casablanca
Tomorrowland

Casino Royale - solid choice. Don't know why I forgot that one, watch it at least twice a year.

All of those movies just so love what they are. Speed Racer really captured the tone of the show, which was kind of silly, especailly the English translation. I can never say enough good things about Emma Roberts' Nancy Drew either. Talk about a movie that gets no respect at all! It loves itself and it loves the audience too. I can't understand how there weren't six sequels!

I agree. Lilly and Lana challenged and changed the way we experienced movies. The movie was to “Japanimation” (as we called back then. At least I did), what Burton’s Batman was to comic books.

Interestingly enough, I am not a big Wachowski's fan at all (never cared for The Matirx), but Speed Racer, they got right! It was so beautiful too that it ws the reason I upgraded to Bluray at the time, knowing I would want that one to look as good as possible.

1. Mamma Mia
2. Grease
3. Christmas Vacation
4. Sideways
5. A Christmas Story
