I applaud MM\'s selections except for PI, which I didn\'t enjoy as much as everyone else did. I think Requiem for a Dream was a much better film than PI. Other people who listed The Deerhunter, Chinatown, One Flew Over The Cuckoo\'s Nest, Moulin Rouge and Twelve Angry Men get a big thumbs up as well.
What can I say? I enjoy mass market Hollywood films too, and I see just about anything and everything. A TOP FIVE list however must be reserved for true greatness, not forgettable action films. Instead of trying to rate my top 20 or top 50, I just pulled five at random. All except for Paris Texas, which will always be my Number One.
- Paris, Texas (1984)
- The Apartment (1960)
- Bottle Rocket (1996)
- The Conversation (1974)
- Paths of Glory (1957)
If you have not seen any of these films, then you are missing out people!
