We have a favorite music thread, favorite console thread, a favorite ban reason thread, I think it's about time for a favorite movie thread!
So...what are your top 5 favorite movies? Feel free to list anything, it doesn't have to pertain to a particular genre.

Mine would be:
1. Die Hard 2: Die Harder
2. Law-Abiding Citizen
3. Gran Torino
4. Office Space
5. Trailer Park Boys: Countdown To Liquor Day

Sooo...

Evil Dead trilogy
Hot Fuzz / Shaun of the Dead with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost
28 Days Later
Oldboy
Brazil and Twelve Monkeys by Terry Gilliam
Tarkovsky stuff (Stalker, Solaris, Zerkalo)
Revengers Tragedy with Christopher Eccleston
Shallow Grave (same as above)
The Blair Witch Project

And I'm an AvP franchise fanboy, so probably Alien and Aliens, but not other films.

It was easy to come up with 5 favorite movies, but I seriously can't say which one is better than which. Guess what that means? My list will not be in any special order.

- Inception (Gee, didn't see this one coming)
- Gran Torino
- Bat Man (1989, Tim Burton)
- Wayne's World 1 & 2 (Not gonna separate these two)
- Liar Liar

Patlabor The Movie - A story of construction robots going berserk and the mecha police that have to investigate what's happening with the threat of their own machines running out of control hanging over their heads. Excellent art direction, characters, music and voice acting (Both Japanese and English) make it, in my eyes, the essential mecha movie.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack and F91 - I'm going to put these two together because they were produced one after the other and while I love them dearly, I wouldn't recommend either to the average person. CCA is the culmination of the rivalry between beloved characters Amuro Ray and Char Aznable that gets interrupted by Wesley Crusher and his would-be girlfriend. The latter two combined with the Newtype magic ending make it very disappointing on the first viewing, but after watching it a second (And third and fourth...) time, I came to love it for embracing what Gundam truly is. F91 meanwhile is a crippled production. What should have been the opening episodes of a full TV show is compressed into a two hour movie that jumps around with some clearly missing scenes and character development. If you can get past that, it's a brilliant story of a small group just trying to survive a chaotic event that could have reclaimed the feeling of a journey that had been missing from the franchise since the original show. It's real shame though that it ends with the words "This is only the beginning." and no resolution to the Crossbone Vanguard conflict is ever offered.

Aliens - What can I say? It's <b>the</b> horror/action movie that does everything perfectly. If you haven't seen the director's cut, it's definitely worth checking out because it adds an extra scenes that really matters; Ripley being told of her daughter's death, giving her the little piece of character development to explain her suicidal devotion to saving Newt.

Laputa: The Castle in the Sky - To hell with Spirited Away, this is Studio Ghibli's crowning achievement. A boy protecting a girl who fell from the sky from sky pirates and the military, both after her for profit and power. It's all about the charming characters, particularly Mark Hamill playing evil Elton John.

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz - There are plenty of western films I love, honest, but right now I want to close on this. The TV series was a significant chunk of my childhood and Endless Waltz was a big supplement to it for two reasons. First, it gives the backstory on the Gundam pilots that was taken out of the show because of a directorial changeover or somesuch. Second, it validates the ending where the world became unified and established a complete peace by resolving this new conflict by essentially a peaceful protest.

Honourable mention goes to Batman and Robin, for being a disaster that taught us how not to make a superhero movie and paved the way for Spider-Man and The Dark Knight.

(I'm not the kind of person to consider the latest movie to be their favorite, but I'm making an exception for this one. Anyone who has seen it should know why.)

It's not a movie. It's an assortment of random images produced by Hollywood, that has no plot or correlation with the doom game series. Also, some people have reported falling asleep as a side-effect while viewing.
