Your Top 5: Movies

[Jamezilla]

A little bit more PG than Ash's deep dicking thread - what are your top 5 favourite movies?

You may have liked Police Acadamy 1-5 the best (6 just plain sucked) - but try to vary the genres - and even provide some rationale for your responses. Give us all a bit of an insight oh why you like these films.

Maybe we can pool the results and have an SAU DVD night...

Anyhoo:

1. Aliens - Sci Fi

The movie that taught me to hate Paul Riser. A timeless classic of the space hero vs space monster story. A-grade acting from B-grade stars. The last great sci-fi adventure to be made with sets rather then green-screen CGI - thus giving it's endeering realism and the fact it is still watchable 18-years from its release. Ripley!

2. North by Northwest - Classic Thriller

Hitchc*ck at his finest. Funny, glamorous and exciting - with all the class of the 60's. Cary Grant is excellent as the accidental-hero. Always keen to mak the chicks, and stop for a dry martini. Fantasitc chase down Mt Rushmore - and that Frank Lloyd Wright house... mmmm.

3. American Psycho - Thriller/Arthouse

Every cinematographic element of this film is flawless. A good 'thinking' film - very dark humor lets you look past the implied violence for a more interesting story. Christian Bale is the best 'love to hate' character - and the business card scene always cracks me up.

4. A Life Less Ordinary - Romantic/Comedy

Under-rated. Bizzare 'angels on earth' love story - with awsome acting/dialogue from everyone involved. Top soundtrack too - Karaoke scene proves Cameron Diaz can't sing for sh*t

5. Akira - Animation

Manga benchmark. Fantasic animation, cool characters - and a bizarre WTF story that could never make it in the live-action world. The 'remastered' version is even better with full 5.1 audio.

2. Big Trouble in Little China - comedy / martial Arts

Haha - top stuff!

I bought that on DVD last week - I hadn't seen it since 1988 or so. Jack Burton still rocks as a suburban hero.

My brother and I used to watch it at least twice a week - in fact, I think it was the first movie we 'pirated' with mum's VCR and granny's VCR and some stolen BNC cables. Ah - memories.
