    It changes all the time.. these are probably the movies I have rewatched the most.

    Blade Runner/2049
    Toy Story
    Pulp Fiction
    Fight Club
    Spiderman 2

    Yeah mine changes a lot as well. Blade runner was a classic.

    I can’t decide whether Blade Runner or 2049 is better. 2049 is pure eye candy but the first one is an inspirational for most cyberpunk dystopian settings.

    it really does stand the test of time.

    I can’t believe I forgot Kubrick. I love his movies but they take energy to watch, for me anyway. I should add Taxi Driver as honourable mention...Network too.

    now you have me thinking....

    yep, most everything by Kubrick needs to be regarded for the list.

    and... gotta include most everything by Alejandro Iñárritu too.

    (he is easily my favorite director working today, easily)

    Haha I get what you're saying. I haven't really seen the first. Well at least not much but I guess it's hard to decide. The new one was done really well. Lol and you're so right haha

    I really enjoyed leaving Las Vegas well. I have well more than 5 favourites. The Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit series alone would surpass 5. Add in childhood favs and it’s up there.
