    Couldn't pick a top 5 ever, as its always changing.

    Top 5 today

    La Haine
    Ghost in the Shell or Akira
    Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
    Any of the many Alfred Hitchcock greats (could probably make a top five just from these)
    Broken Flowers

    way too many to make a top 5..

    Sexy Beast

    Awesome movie.

    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.

    The Big Sleep
    The Big Lebowski
    Big Trouble in Little China
    Night of the Living Dead

    impossible choices, so many great movies out there.

    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".
