This was hard. I'm not even sure this list is my top 5 (apart from Shawshank Redemption; I'm certain that is my favourite movie).
1. Shawshank Redemption 2. Lincoln 3. Fight Club 4. No Country For Old Men 5. The Dark Knight  RE: Top 5 films

In that year the X-File movie was not an X-File but the Indiana Jones movie was. It was a very odd year.

That was just a plot device to play the Jones character against the opposite kind of woman from Raiders. It avoided the necessity of making Jones be really different in the obligatory sequel. I mean the script and scenes could be very similar but the woman and kid made them play different. Seriously. The pisser is the kid.

I nearly walked out of the theater when they started using CGI for many of their stunt scenes. I found for myself whether or not I like a movie depends in large part on my expectations. When I first saw The Blues Brothers I was expecting a comedy as in SNL. I did not like it. All the music made no sense. A few years later I read that it was a musical comedy. Literally almost a light dawned and I have liked it ever since. Take Crystal Skull as an X-File movie and it isn't half bad.  RE: Top 5 films

I nearly walked out of the theater when they started using CGI for many of their stunt scenes. I agree with you about Crusade. Speilberg didn't use any CGI in his original three movies - at least not where the action stunts were concerned. The stunts during Last Crusade especially were absolutely fantastic. It looked real and authentic (remember the tank scenes). Fast forward to the chase scenes in Crystal Turd: looked and felt totally fake and unbelievable. Add to that the shitty plot line and it was just an awful movie. In my mind, Crystal Skull does not exist. There is only the Indiana Jones Trilogy. Speilberg and Lucas should be ashamed for selling out their incredible franchises. just my humble (flawless) opinion.

I've finally decided to take a peek into this thread...The top five movies of all time... tough selection...
As a sci-fi fan... - Start trek II, the wrath of khan - Star wars VI, the return of the jedi - Aliens Now, the last 2?.... keeping in the horror theme, there's one that marked me - Nightmare on Elm Street, the first, watched when I was 8... how did I not end up with some psych problem requiring meds just to stand up is beyond me! And, for some reason I can't pinpoint, I've watched the Last Boy Scout, with Bruce Willis, once too often... But if I had to choose a Bruce Willis movie, I'd go for the obvious Die Hard!

Don't read.
