We've already had Top 5 Songs a bunch of times. All this
talk about Pi made me think this'd be an interesting topic.

Anyway, here's mine...

1. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
2. The Sting
3. Snatch
4. Mallrats
5. Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid

1. Pi
2. Dune (the version from the 1980s)
3. Lord of the rings
4. Matrix
5. High Fidelity

any movie with Slyvester Stallone, William Shatner and Bette
Midler! ... no wait, those really suck... never mind. i
watched some of Demolition Man a coupla days ago, and i
remembered that Stallone sucked less than normal in that
movie... but he still was utterly pathetic. i can't even
decide on best, that to me tends to be a way to label
yourself
... the 5 movies i've probably seen the most...

Monty Python and the Holy grail
A Clockwork orange
Pulp Fiction
Robocop
Star Wars

I don't read books, the only one I've ever read is Dracula.
Me dumb!

I know the book is better, blahblahblah, but I always wanted
to terrorize people in the nude with a chainsaw, and it's
fun to watch it played out on screen.

I find I lack the patience to actually sit and read books. I
prefer to watch films! I know there is some much more detail
in the books (of films perhaps) but I just think of all the
other things I could be doing with the time. 2 hours and the
film is done! Maybe it's a sign of the times - maybe it's
just me!
