LOL! :)
OK here’s mine,
1. Fight Club
Then, in no particular order:
2. A Clockwork Orange
2. Amelie
2. Lost Highway
2. Mulholland Drive
Maybe. It’s hard to pick second best, even if there’s 4 of them, or 10, or 15 :) Fight Club is definitely #1 though!

WOW! I haven’t even seen Fight Club, but I’ve seen it mentioned a couple of times in some posts. I’ll have to check it out.
I haven’t seen Amelie or Lost Highway either!
Mullholland Drive is good.
Oh, and I didn’t even mention Pink Floyd’s The Wall.

My daughter (20 years old) wants to know where Grease and Knocked Up is on your lists! :) hahaha… I guess I’ll have to encourage her to get her own bmindful account so she can add her own comments. :)

2) It’s a Wonderful Life
I am living in many dimensions at once; the appearance of being trapped in time and space is only an illusion.

top 5 ? Top 25 would be easier to come up with.
However after viewing others favorites I'm gonna say The Wizard Of OZ
and one other film that qualifies to be in my top 5. NETWORK a classic from 1976
1976 ironically was a year that produced many great high quality films indeed.
Also I think Cool Hand Luke is perhaps in my top 5
the graduate- the hustler- the sting- the pope of greenwich village- the gambler network high plains drifter three days of the condor
the lost weekend- the summer of 42 In the heat of the night
pacific heights- panic in needle park- and justice for all- taxi driver- (analyze this-Whatever works) comedies) primal fear the parralax view 1974
All these films very entertaining and many won Oscars, I would say most are must see. From my ability to spot quality films.

It's a pleasant surprise when via serendipity I find great films. That's why it's advantageous to think you've seen all the quality movies. Case in point (Husband's and Wives) 1992 I would rate this NY film about 8 Woody Allens best film I found while looking for another film.

In response to ♡ ˚Better & Better's post: That's a fact if I say the movie is entertaining, it is. Only problem with that is the expectation factor. I think a decent film from the artists director ect is quality that's hard to find these days, with a few exceptions.

A good yet depressing film from the 70's I think SUNSHINE a true story, I could only watch 75% of it, was asking myself "What is this salty discharge coming from my eyes"
Gran Torino is one of my faves.
