OP - I think it would be Shawshank Redemption, Last of the Mohicans, Up, Memento, and Sound of Music. That list makes no sense when I see it together. [ Reply | More ]

Christmas Vacation, The Great Outdoors, Coming to America/Beverly Hills Cop (Tie on the Eddie Murphy Movies), This is 40, Aristocats (the disney cartoon not that other movie) but really anything with Chevy Chase, Eddie Murphy and I also love lots of the Disney cartoons. I live the pulp fiction, Wes Anderson type movies too but silly comedy is my favorite genre definitely. [ Reply | More ]

it is interesting -- i am not sure my top 5 are necessarily the movies I think are best, but movies that either at a particular point touched something in me emotionally or that I always watch when on -- Chariots of Fire, Field of Dreams, Gods and Generals, Kingdom of Heaven and Dazed and Confused (I know) or Star Wars/A New Hope. (FWIW, I actually much prefer television shows to movies - I just like a longer story). [ Reply | More ]

Interesting! In many of these movies, I like how the various storylines come together. I imagine if he likes the same thing, he’d be attracted to the same movies. I also prefer dramas and I love music, and many of these movies have pretty substantial soundtracks. I’m 42. [ Reply | More ]

i Can’t limit it to 5. I like too many movies. For example I loved Beaches, terms of endearment, coming to America before college (I think) along with memento, sixteen candles, Christmas story, Indiana Jones among many others but I don’t know if I’d like some of these as much if I watched them again [ Reply | More ]

this is hard but this is reminding me of so many greats. The ones I can watch over and over again: coming to America, can’t buy me love, dirty dancing for sure. I haven’t seen in a while but I loved Borat when it came out I just don’t know if it belongs in the same category. My all time favorites have to be comedies that I can watch over and over. There are some other greats (Shawshank For example) but I don’t really have a desire to see again [ Reply | More ]
