[Neapolitan Ice Cream]

2. Silence of the Lambs

[Schneewittchen37]

Okay, so it's hard for me to rank if we include Star Wars and things like that - it'd take up all the slots! So let's assume Star Wars and the other popular genra movies don't count as they are ubiquitous and everybody picks them. I will list 5 movies that I think are absolutely special and that I unapologetically love:

1. A Goofy Movie (1995)
2. The Muppets (2011)
3. Nancy Drew (2007)
4. Speed Racer (2008)
5. The Great Outdoors (1988)

These movies put a smile on my face from ear to ear, and most are grossly underappreciated.

(I decided to omit MCU movies as they would take up a lot of this list, though honestly a lot of the plot threads I love are spread out through several movies, making it difficult to pick out specific favorites)

Lord of the Rings (I consider them one movie, but if I HAD to pick one, Return of the King)
The Great Gatsby (2013)
Casino Royale (2006)
Casablanca
Tomorrowland

Tomorrowland is so underrated.
Casablanca is a true film lover’s must see.

Mary Poppins
The Killing
The Empire Strikes Back
Singin in the Rain
All That Jazz

Fosse/Verdon is a must see for you.

You cannot have a true discussion about film without seeing every one of the movies on your first five.

 

[Timandalicia]

Steel Magnolias
Arsenic and Old Lace
Halloween (original)
The Haunting (original)
How to Train Your Dragon

At least today.

Have you seen His Girl Friday? It is a movie for those who love Arsenic and Old Lace.

I disagree. You need to apologize for Speed Racer. Just kidding. I find all of these movies sentimental.

 

[OKW8297]

1. Beauty and the Beast (animated)
2. Field of Dreams
3. Godfather 1
4. When Harry Met Sally
5. The Breakfast Club

 

[SandyinMonterey]

Sense & Sensibility
Roman Holiday
The Quiet Man
The Greatest Game Ever Played
Notting Hill

All of those movies just so love what they are. Speed Racer really captured the tone of the show, which was kind of silly, especailly the English translation. I can never say enough good things about Emma Roberts' Nancy Drew either. Talk about a movie that gets no respect at all! It loves itself and it loves the audience too. I can't understand how there weren't six sequels!
