Your Top 5 Movies

Hey, here's a way to get to know everyone better, what are your top 5 movies. You can have series count has one instead of three or five an example would be the Harry Potter movies this way you don't waste your top 5 on one series. My top 5 movies are Braveheart, Gladiator, The Last Castle, The Patriot, and The 13th Warrior.

Great topic! Looking at my list its a bit dusty! Been a while since a movie has "wow"ed me. I hope someone lists something I havent seen and can check out. Brandon, Ill look into the Last Castle, Ive never heard of it.

Pan's Labryinth



The Shawshank Redemption



Braveheart



Into the Wild



The Sixth Sense

5. Notting Hill
4. Star Wars/Lord of the Rings (these are on equal footing)
3. Pope John Paul II (the one with Jon Voight, technically a miniseries, but I count it as a movie)
2. Bucket List
1. World Trade Center

"World Trade Center" - number ONE? really NUMBER ONE???? I've never seen it but I will for sure watch it based on this GLOWING recommendation! Ill also check out the Jon Voight film as it seems interesting. Bucket list for #2? I just hope this doesn't show your judgement on the other films that I'm about to watch as Bucket List deserves a 6/10 at best....... and this is coming from a Morgan Freeman/ Jack Nicholson lover. I'm going to grant this a lapse in judgement and still watch the other two based on your recommendation alone! (WTC and Pope John Paul II). Christian, I love you in Christ!

Do you want me to bring them Sunday? Just take care of them.

*The below is based on frequency of having watched and would still not hesitate to watch yet again

1. Braveheart

2. Gladiator

3. Lord of the Rings (for simple fact I think this is the best book to movie rendition I know of. And my fav. books)

4. Dumb and Dumber (This has probably deterred my sanctification significantly but I have too many lines from this memorized to not mention it)

5. Count of Monte Cristo (not a good movie to book rendition in terms of being faithful to the text, but I found that I enjoyed both book and movie equally)

Braveheart seems to be a all around favorite so far.

The hour of the time? not even HM?? I feel just a little betrayed....
The smartest guys in the room bored me incredibly (I only made it through 20 mins). However, based on both your and Eric Law's recommendations (two of my favorite people who are political polar opposites) I will now re-watch!
