Choose 5 movie to watch for the rest of your life

[indianawars]

If you had to choose 5 movies that would be the only movies you could watch for the rest of your life, what would they be?...

Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.
Indiana jones: Raiders of the lost ark.
The last starfighter.
Flight of the navigator.
Home alone.

This is an impossible task how could you narrow it down to just 5? I can't do it! :lol:

Difficult

ROTJ
Jaws
The Hound Of The Baskervilles ( Basil Rathbone )
Die Hard
Raiders

Home Alone is up there and many more

 

[SAVORY100]

Hmm.. 5 is tough and I'm sure if you ask me another week/month/year it would be a different answer, but right off the top of my head its this today:

- Home Alone
- Empire Strikes Back
- The Breakfast Club
- Trading Places
- Field of Dreams

Any Given Sunday just misses out this time, but the motivational speech scene is already committed to memory, so its all good.

That is a hard one! There's quite a few I always love to rewatch. Over time have collected my favourites on dvds. If I had 20 secs to grab 5 they would be

Rambo first blood
The Goonies
Jaws
The Emipire Strikes Back
Platoon (special edition )

Although it could also quickly change if I thought about it more!
It will be interesting to see after a few posts which ones are popular.

You have to! Or no more films at all ever! :lol:

 

[x-pack]

I've tried not to read everyone elses so as not to sway my own choice.

The Shining
Withnail & I
Return of the Jedi
Hot Tub Time Machine
The Blues Brothers

I think I could watch those films over and over and never get bored of them

 

[Mr-shifter]

A new hope
Empire strikes back
Return of the Jedi
The big lebowski
The sting

Unfortunately as you won't let me have six I would have to leave "one in the pink, one in the stink" but it came a close 6th

 

[SAVORY100]

Oh yeah, Forrest Gump... that really should be on the list too. Can't we make it ten instead of five?!?!? :lol:

Good point! I'm not sure if films wear out these days, but the bits with princess leia in her bikini would get well worn without a bit of 'Old Mcdonald Shags His Farm' :lol:

Probably Raiders... or Blade Runner... or The Big Lebowski... or Alien... or Elf... or Home Alone... or Cinema Paradiso. That fifth choice is very tricky!

And he's banned! We'll have no prequels in this thread. They are best left in that dark and dank corner of my mind where I am trying to forget they were even made. :lol:
