Top five favourite films of all time!

Hard to choose when one has seen so many, but try!

Mine are not based on 'excellence' so much as enjoyment..or a bit of both.

2. Close Encounters of the Third Kind
3. A Man and a Woman (The French version, Un homme et une femme)
4. American Beauty
5. Easy Rider

Re: Top five favourite films of all time!

Strange that three members have mentioned Easy Rider, I've tried to watch it several times and never once managed to finish it. Certainly proves the old adage, "One man's meat......

Re: Top five favourite films of all time!

For me Easy Rider was a fantasy of what I thought I would like to have been. I was 17 or so when it came out and I was all for the 'hippie' thing! It was of course all fantasy!
