5: Super Troopers

1. Patton
2. Outlaw Josey Wales
3. Godfather Redux (1&2, re-edited as a single movie in chronological order, with deleted footage added)

Honorable Mention: Saving Private Ryan and Gladiator, for their opening battle recreations, but the “meat” of the movies left me somewhat unsatisfied.

 

[blbronco]

Field of Dreams (was a MASSIVE baseball fan back in the day)
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade (LOVE Raiders, but enjoyed this one more)
Blazing Saddles (you just cannot go wrong with Mel Brooks movies...this one is my favorite of them)
To Kill a Mockingbird


There are so many others, and this top 5 probably changes regularly, but Field of Dreams will always be on my top 5, and Robin Hood: PoT for nostalgia as I watched the hell out of that movie in middle school.

 

[Tulsaaggieson]

Star Wars episode 4 A New Hope
LoR Return of the King
The Hobbit Battle of Five Armies

Indian Jones the Lost Ark

[osu_orangestreak]

Impossible to name 5 when there are hundreds of them.

Animal House

Ferris Beullers Day Off.....almost every word memorized, drives wife crazy when we watch it. Fought hard to name my kids Sloane and Cameron. (I lost)

The Vengeance trilogy from Korea

Infernal Affairs...the Departed is based on this film and its so much better.

Sunset Blvd

Time Bandits....saw it at the exact right age and it was magical

My Fair Lady

JAWS...saw it in the theater at 6 and was horrified

Gator, White Lightning, Smokey and The Bandit and Longest Yard.

 

[davidallen]

[GunsOfFrankEaton]

Lawrence of Arabia
Doctor Zhivago
Ben-Hur

I should’ve added Ben Hur to my list. Beyond a classic.

 

[soonerinlOUisiana]

I can’t list Citizen Kane because I haven’t seen it yet. I did see RKO 281, about the production of Citizen Kane and Hearst’s attempt to shut it down, and it was pretty good for a TV movie.

 

[aix_xpert]

Lots of good ones in this thread. These aren't the 5 greatest movies, but I'm judging it by movies I still stop and watch whenever I catch them on no matter how many times I've seen them:

Shawshank
Gladiator
Arthur: Legend of the Sword
Basic
Spaceballs

I'm not a Rob Reiner fan, but that movie is excellent. Good choice.

(The Lard Ass story is about as funny as it gets).
