    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.

    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

    1. Blade Runner
    2. Reservoir Dogs
    3. The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
    4. Full Metal Jacket
    5. The Thin Red Line
    6. Goodfellas
    7. The Deer Hunter
    8. Unforgiven
    9. Chinatown
    10. Miller's Crossing

    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.

    Ayy. Goodfellas👌

    Yes Shashank was great; also loved the Departed and leaving Las Vegas - hard to name just 5 - what about big trouble in little China cult classic

    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.

    The Breakfast Club

    Yes! Dogma was gonna almost make my list!

    tbh...I think I re-watched that movie more than any other I ever have, and enjoyed it always!

    Jaws was a classic. I think I was just too young to actually watch all of them but I should lol. Great list.

    Which godfather was your fav? I've only seen part of the first.

    1. Disorderlies (starring The Fat Boys)
    2. Dude, Where's My Car? (This film was trying to tell us something. Watch closely!)
    3. It's Pat: The Movie (Ahead of it's time; Very important subject matter in today's climate)
    4. Cyrano de Bergerac (1990)(Did you really think Gerard Depardieu would not make his presence felt in a top 5 list?)
    5. A Vampire in Brooklyn (You've seen him in Nutty Professor and The Golden Child, but have you seen Eddie Murphy like this?!)

    I forgot all about Disorderlies. That just made my day
