My cat is sitting on my lap so you get both of ours combined together

• The Fifth Element
• The Matrix
• Dark City
• The Big Lebowski
• Burn After Reading
• Fargo
• Lost In Translation
• Snatch
• Grosse Pointe Blank
• Thor: Ragnarok

• Young Frankenstein

• The Princess Bride

• Blazing Saddles

• The Matrix

• The Shawshank Redemption

It’s a toss-up on a couple of those. The Blues Brothers could easily make the list, as could Pulp Fiction, Terminator 2, Alien, Interstellar, and I’m sure there are many others. I will abandon what I’m doing to watch any one of these, if they come on, probably 90% of the time.

1. Dead Man: A film by Jim Jarmusch starring Johnny Depp and Gary Farmer and an all-star cast. Beautiful acid western about friendship in harsh circumstances. Wonderful original soundtrack by Neil Young.

2. The Fall: A film by Tarsem. This films story isn’t necessarily amazing, but this is a love letter to classic cinema. It has a plot about classic cinema, and it uses all classic techniques to achieve the effects. Tarsem famously went out of their way to ensure there wasn’t any CGI in this film. It’s one of the most vividly colorful and visually stunning films I have ever seen.

3. Dreams: A film by Akira Kurosawa. A montage of short films inspired by dreams experienced by filmmaker Akira Kurosawa. In partnership with Lucasfilm. Almost as visually stunning as The Fall but much more cohesive stories for being inspired by dreams. Come for “The Peach Orchard,” and stay for “Village of the Watermills.”

4. Brazil: A film by Terry Gilliam starring Jonathan Pryce, Robert DeNiro, Kim Greist and Michael Palin. A treatise on dreams in a totalitarian society. The only cut worth watching is the Directors Cut. The film was famously butchered by the studios to give it a “happy ending” because the original was considered too bleak.

5. Sneakers: A film by Phil Alden Robinson starring Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, River Phoenix, and Ben Kingsley. One of the only films that ever presented a semi-realistic portrayal of hacking. Good plot, good pacing, and arguably prescient considerations.

Monty Python and the holy grail

DnD movie

And all three LOTR movies. Extended of course.

Super hard to limit to just 5 but here’s the first that came to mind: Star Wars: A New Hope The Matrix Delicatessen The Science of Sleep The Fifth Element

Any of the following could easily go somewhere on the above list :) Blade Runner, 12 Monkeys, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Brazil, The Hudsucker Proxy, Groundhog Day, Dark City, Inception & Intersteller (if only it didn’t have the whole love is a force that transcends dimensions and can be used to communicate across time and space stuff?!)

• The Prestige
• Shawshank Redemption
• Pulp Fiction
• Spirited Away
• 2001: A Space Oddysey

I’m probably an idiot for not including The Godfather but it’s been a long time since I saw it so I probably need to watch it again.

4. Interstellar
5. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
