What are your favorite top 5 movies, in no particular order?
I'm a huge movie geek. I like to tell people that I've seen every good movie there is. That's not true, but I've seen a lot of movies.
I'll start (I'm putting 7 because I can't narrow it down)
Now your turn! Give me your top 5, maybe I might find a few new movies!

- Jurassic Park: watched this movie a literal thousand times. Watched it every day as a toddler/kid, and it never grows old for me. Just excitedly watched it this week. It made me love dinosaurs as a kid, and I still do.
- Fight Club: that ending! If you know, you know. This movie is slick, layered, and psychological. Fight Club Brad Pitt is my favorite Pitt, though his performance in 12 Monkeys comes close.
- Silence of the lambs: the most thrilling film I've seen. Anthony Hopkins elevates an already expert film to the level of masterpiece. It deserved all of the Oscars it won.
- The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: the final film of my favorite trilogy (the dollars trilogy). Sergio Leone broke all kinds of Hollywood rules with this trilogy. With each movie, it got more grand and better production value. My favorite western, and my favorite actor (Clint Eastwood)
- One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest: winning a plethora of Oscars, this film pits a Jack Nicholson against the mental health system of the 60's. It could be said this film is about friendship. Jack Nicholson sure does crazy good, he does all kinds throughout his acting credits!
- The Seventh Seal: a film I have only visited twice, due to it's heavy themes and how I resonate with them. A film that questions the existence of God, the purpose of life, and death. It's on YouTube I think some of you would particularly like this film. It's right up our alley.
- Paths of Glory: a film I have only visited once, as it heavily depressed me. Stanley Kubrick paints the grimmest picture of war I've seen with this film.
Now your turn! Give me your top 5, maybe I might find a few new movies!
