In no order of preference

1 Saving Private Ryan

2 Vanilla Sky

3 Train Spotting

4 The Good, the bad and the ugly

5 Erin Brockovich (spelling?)

I can think of loads more and TBH a lot of the time it depends on what kind of mood I'm in.

I do like the Godfather 1 & 2

Kill Bill 1 & 2 were good but not as good as Pulp fiction

Heat, good film

Ronin, great car chase, shame the rest of the film was a bit weak.

Notting hill and love actually were also films I thoroughly enjoyed

Dearey me.  Never seen a James Bond Film tsk tsk!

Bit of a schoolboy choice that one I'm afraid.  I remember watching them all at that sort of impressionable age 13-14!

The girl from 'From Russia with Love' is fairly good looking too!

Interesting to see that the Back to the Futures seem to be quite popular.  I like the third one cos it's got a steam train in it!

The real test of an all time favourite is to watch it again a few years later to see if it still works, Ferris Bueller does, Back to the Future doesn't - for me

Ronin - a 406 keeping up with an M5, do me a favour!

Donnie Darko - awesome.  Love it.

Sixth Sense - good even when you know the ending IMO.

English Patient - yep, really.

5 really bad films

Waynes World

Under Seige - Agreeing with a post earlier re Steven Segal

On Her Majesties Secret Service

Waynes World II

Anything with Madonna in it - as she is such a wooden actor - The James Bond film she was in recently - a tree wood (couldn't resist the pun) have done a better job.

Due to the hype and praise it received and the fact I was actually looking forward to it, my nomination for worst film is....

Lost in Translation. I even tried watching it in French and that didn't work either. A couple of (not overly interesting) days in the life of a guy experiencing a very mild mid-life crisis while on a business trip to Japan?

After watching it we both had that "did I miss something" look.

I think the Maddy reference was for another flick.
As for W.W. - can't beat the Bohemian Rhapsody scene - that will go down in history!

Worst films ever:

Austin Powers The spy who shagged me.

Godzilla, the 90's version

Troy

Twister

Hot shots, infact any of those stupid spoof movies like naked gun etc

Robin Hood Men in tights

U571, never seen it but the Americans trying to rewrite history is just too much

There are more but these ones are some of the worst.

Haven't seen film but every write up I've seen/heard has said same, badly miscast , way too long and boring!

I love Braveheart, agree about U571 and rewriting history but found King Arthur entertaining. Got Lord of Rings trilogy but still not watched Return of the King (took me 6 months to work through books and I'm usually a quick reader)

I liked the original Star Wars trilogy, good the way they've tied it all in with new ones, for some reason could'nt get as sucked into Attack of Clones as Phantom Menace. Not seen Revenge of Sith.

Both me and Wendy like Twister type films, can't recall what the Jodie Foster one called but that was good. So many films, so little time....

No ones metioned the nicholas cage version of "Gone in 60 secs". not in my top 5 but definately up there. Also the original Italian Job. A classic without a doubt.

Worst 5

Grease (i fell asleep while everyone was dancing in the isles)

Austin Powers (what was mike myers thinking)

Star wars (now THATS let the cat out of the bag!)

New Italian job.

Any bond film (embarassed to say that but I just can't get into them)

The original three starwars films were excellent but the new films were a pale immitiation.

Ahh the Italian Job, excellent. Also Zulu is another great classic. Micheal Caine has done some very good films. Get Carter, The eagle has landed etc. I'll just gloss over Jaws 4.................

Independence Day was great, forgot about Gone in 60 seconds and Zulu, did anyone see the "prequel", Zulu Dawn? Didn't seem to have the same spark as Zulu. Bruce Willis' asteroid one was good, just can't think of name. I like the martial arts ones as well, Jackie Chan, Seagal, Van Damme. Favourite line had to be from Under Siege when birthday cake girl answer headset to pentagon and says "he'll call you right back, he's in a gunfight right now" or similar, was just so american!

I think what all this proves is most of us would struggle to pin down 5 top films from last 6 months, let alone all time, there's too many good ones out there!

Right my top 5 films (that I can think of right now)

1-Lord of the rings trilogy(Been reading tolkien since I was 8 & although films are a bit of a departure they are still great)
2-Godfather trilogy (especially 2)
3-Grosse Point Blank-simply the best black comedy ever made & John Cusacks great anyway as is joan.
4-not sure about 4 & 5,but getting into some old films,angels with dirty faces,roman holliday etc,just makes a change from the full on films made nowadays-must be getting old
