    I don't know if this is necessarily the same as your fave five, but what are 5 movies you think everyone should see.

    Mine in no particular order
    *The Godfather
    *Hoop Dreams
    *Hoosiers
    *Airplane
    *Memento

    Five is too few. It should be more like 100.

    Nevertheless, here you are:

    (in no particular order)

    Bicycle Thieves
    Citizen Kane
    Star Wars
    Seven Samurai (or The Magnificent Seven)
    Schindler's List.
    Dio perdona tante cose per un’opera di misericordia
    God forgives many things for an act of mercy
    Alessandro Manzoni

    Knock it off. This board has enough problems without a dose of middle-age lechery.

        There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

            City of God is as good as or better than any U.S. made gangster film. Great opening, great young characterizations.

                      Central Station remains the best Brazilian flick

                              No, one of these days I'll get around to watching more Kurosawa films. I've liked those I've seen.
