    Nice one Beds

    Like others have said to choose five is pretty much impossible but as of now it is

    1 The Remains of the Day
    2 Taxi Driver
    3 Rear Window
    4 The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp

    Most Kubrick, Hitchcock, Scorcese, Coen Brothers, Tarantino movies
    The Ipcress File
    The Italian Job
    A Clockwork Orange
    The Life and Death of Peter Sellers
    O Lucky Man
    The Life of Brian
    The Long Good Friday
    A Room for Romeo Brass
    Le Samourai
    Diva
    The Elephant Man
  • The Usual Suspects
    Double Indemnity

    I will compile the CL top ten on Tuesday or Wednesday but already there seems to be a pattern emerging.

    In no order -

    The Italian job (1969 one)

    Reservoir Dogs

    True Romance

    The Shawshank Redemption

    Lock Stock and Two Smocking Barrels

    Very hard to restrict it down to just 5, the above would probably change if I did it again tomorrow.

    A toughere one but for me is:

    Life is beautiful
    O brother where art thou
    Field of dreams
    A few good men
    Stand by me.

    All films I could watch over and over, none perfect but all have a way of burrowing into your heart

    Incidentally, take a look at how many Stephen King adaptations appear in this thread (and hardly any are horrors). That guy can't half pen a tale. Must be loaded.

    I'm finding this really hard to do as I keep changing my mind every time someone else posts their top 5

    1) Planes Trains
    2) Toy Story
    3) Back to the future
    4) Star Wars
    5) Shawshank Redemption

    That's in no particular order, some have dated better than others, some remind me of times in my life as well as originality, I could have put Grease, The Godfather,Private Ryan or the bucket list in their quite as easily.

    1. Some Like it Hot
    2. Kind Hearts and Coronets
    3. His Girl Friday
    4. The Lavender Hill Mob
    5. 123

    I am on Holiday at the moment some light hearted comedy is the genre to the fore, likely to change as the mood changes.

    Walking past Tonbridge School yesterday reminded me that David Sherwin's brutal experiences there inspired him to write the screenplay for 'If...', directed by Lindsay Anderson and released in 1968. I've already nominated my Top Five, but 'If...' is certainly bubbling under.
