Maybe with an 'autographed' edition of 'sixty odd feet of lump' thrown into the mix?

that bit when Jeff Daniels hammers Jim Carrey in calf muscle with the cane was hilairious...

Tried to cover as many genres as possible between the 40's and 80's

Citizen Kane
Singing in the Rain
The good bad and the ugly
Star Wars
Blade Runner

Nice effort Albi, this is too hard.

Citizen Kane
East of Eden
To Kill a Mocking Bird
The Bridge on the River Kwai
The GodFather II

Citizen Kane and East of Eden are two of my favourite movies ever

Toy Story will always be my most favourite movie

I have a lot of other favourites.. The Castle, Anchorman, Fast and The Furious movies, The Hobbit.. All the Avengers movies as standalones, plus "The Avengers" amongst others

Couldnt pick a top 5 though

This is for you GE; they'll make a convert of you!

- A fistful of dollars (1964)
- Paint your wagon (1969)
- The outlaw Josey Wales (1976)
- Unforgiven (1992)
- Gran Torino (2008)

All films I don't really like.

I liked aspects of Paint your wagon, the stage show, and some of the songs... but the film is poor and horribly miscast. Lee Marvin apart.

Fistful of dollars... spaghetti western... over rated, all of those other films over rated. Unforgiven and Gran Torino, I found them boring and I groaned through the reviews and awards...

The outlaw Jasey Wales is very good though.

I know when I get older I'm going to have a lot of movies to watch from the earlier years 50-70s

But right now they bore me

Fair enough GE, but I still love Clint films, especially the ones I've named. Do you like any Westerns?

High Noon
Red River
Shane
The Searchers
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
The Magnificent Seven

Thats six

I didn't think I was being asked for the history of Westerns in five films! Leave out Red River.

Fast and the Furious 1-5
then weep for hollywood

Other Westerns I like:

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
How the West Was Won (some will hate this)
Cat Ballou

Red River is an underrated classic.

The films I've seen that you've listed are all great. I especially liked High Noon, Cat Ballou and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. True Grit is another good film. I like John Wayne, but I much prefer Eastwood; I think he plays a cooler role.

The godfather series
East of Eden and grapes of wrath
Cinderella Man! Yes has grown with age! Unbelievable but always comeback and watch this movie each month.
To kill a mocking bird
Gallipoli.

Well that's random

Have just spent the last six months working my way through the five star movies in this video guide I had lying around at home. I've gone back and started through the four stars.

I don't think anyone mentioned Saving Private Ryan.

It has Tom Hanks in it.

Re-watched Pulp Fiction yesterday with some mates. One who hadn't seen it before. **** it's good! The changes of tempo, intensity etc.
Love Tarantino movies

Stripes, Animal House, Close Encounters, Spinal Tap, Kelly ' s Heroes

Yes. Yes it does.
