As others have mentioned, I'm far too much of a film geek to ever stop at 5, can't we do categories such as best action films between 84-89 and top 5 French musicals etc etc? No? Sigh, ok.
There's a big difference between what are favourite films and what I consider the greatest movies ever made, but, 5 random favourites for today (tried to cover different areas):
Miller's Crossing
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Taxi Driver
Bringing Up Baby
Sonatine
Fuck no room for Carpenter, Kubrick, Kurosawa etc etc.

Mean Streets

and a billion more
The Big Sleep
The Big Lebowski
Big Trouble in Little China
Night of the Living Dead

impossible choices, so many great movies out there.
best teenage movie evar?
Ah shit I want to change Miller's Crossing to Big Lebowski as well. In fact I could happily do a top 5 merely based on films that started with the words "The Big".
