    Whats you top 5 favorite movies of all time!?

    Rules-
    1- You must give 5 movies, no more and no less.
    2- If you can't decide on a placing you can just write them down in a sentence.
    3- You can also discuss other peoples selection of movies.
    4- Have fun!


    JAY's top 5
    1# The Dark Knight
    2# Donnie Darko
    3# The Butterfly Effect
    4# 10 Things I Hate About You
    5# Zoolander

    I have seen the Dark Knight 5 times at the movies and I could go see it again. Amazing acting, Amazing Story and a Amazing movie.

    Donnie Darko is one of my all time favorites for its story line.

    I don't know why I like The Butterfly effect as mush as I do, but maybe because it has a story line just like Donnie Darko.

    10 things I hate about you has all of my favorite actors and actresses in it, Heath Ledger, Julia Stiles, Larisa Oleynik and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

    Zooland gets 5th post because its so damn funny.

    1. Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull-- Who couldn't love Indy?
    2. Star Wars: The Clone Wars-- Even though it's animated, It's one of the best SW movies
    3. Transformers-- Simply Beautiful
    4. Iron Man-- Iron man is the best superhero there is
    5. Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix-- All the HP movies are good but this one's better than all of them according to me

    I was told Pineapple Express was funny, but wasn't worth the $10 movie ticket. Thoughts Vinny?

    I totally forgot about Boondock Saints and along with that Reservoir Dogs.

    The shawshank redemption is also really good. My favorite animated movie would probably be Final Fantasy.

    No order

    -Leon
    It took a seemingly heartless subject, and made it touching and emotional, while providing good metaphoric value.

    - Ronin
    Its a decent Robert De Niro action flick, but the camera work was amazing. It had the best transitions that I have ever seen, so I use them as models for my own. One in particular had a transition in the middle of one shot to another, and the 2 shots appeared to be 1.

    - GodFather I-II
    These are classics. All be it, 1 was in ways better than 2, the art style in the second's cinematography was brilliant. Also, the lighting in the flashbacks with that yellow tint really set the mood. There are several instances of great film examples you can find in that movie.

    -Saving Private Ryan
    I love this film. It is a great action film, and it displayed Spielberg's genius. The acting, the emotion, execution, everything seemed perfect. Not to mention it's opening is famous for being one of the first war movies to really show the horrors of war, and it did so excellently.

    - The Sixth Sense
    Ah, this movie was great. I loved it. Shyamalan did a great job directing this, because it seemed like Bruce Willis was actually interacting with the world around him, when he was not. That alone was amazing. And the story is still one of my favorite to this day.

    - Se7en
    I loved this film. It had that artistic edge to it, while being a Hollywood funded movie. The title sequence was amazingly well edited. Ontop of that, the filming and lighting was great, and added to the atmosphere creating a "**** hole" that that movie took place in. And it has Morgan Freeman.

    Oops, I think I went over already...
