Top 5 Favorite Films

Secondhand Lions tried too much to be like The Fall, which is a much superior film. It also happens to be gorgeous.

So Secondhand Lions tried to be like a movie that came out three years after it was released? Interesting.

Great picks, glad to see another fan of Hour of the Wolf, I think it's Bergman's best. But Rocky 3?

Hour of the Wolf is my favorite Bergman. Seventh Seal almost made the list.

But yes. Rocky 3. The absolute perfect amount of cheese and entertainment, and I'll stand by that to my grave. It's not cinematic brilliance, but the afore-mentioned attributes mean that I can, have, and will watch it over and over.

1) Harry Potter trilogy
2) The first three Star Wars films
3) The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
4) Raiders of the Lost Ark
5) The speghetti western trilogy (Good bad & the Ugly)

Pretty basic, but I like movies to transfer me into another world
