1 & 2: agree, 3: I haven't seen but if it is the film about Peters Sellers life, I shall have to because he was a genious! 4: yes, 5: ABSOLUTELY! 6 & 7: pretty good, 8: Don't know that one but 'It's a wonderful life' is brilliant, as most of James Stewarts' films were, 9: Especially Marathon Man. So, as I agree with most of your choices, I shall let you off of sneaking a few more in!
(When asked this question recently everyone went for Shawshank redemption but i will resist :-)
In no order: Patton, The Quiet Man, Saving Private Ryan, The Great Escape, The Good the bad the Ugly, Back to the future, St. Elmo's Fire, Godfather, Ben Hur, (5 is NOT enough) City Slickers, Matrix, Schindlers List, Eat Drink Man Woman, Shakespeare in Love, Ferris Buellers Day Off, (I'm a film addict, could do top 100 if requested) The Longest Day, All quiet on the western Front, Where Eagles Dare, Waking Ned, Sliding Doors, Brassed Off, Catholic boys, Heartbreak Ridge.............. and there's more........

I didn't realise this had been asked before. When AB said there were not any similar q.s, I went ahead and posted!
Schindlers List, for me anyway, is a film that's out there on it's own as being the most moving, but one I can't class as most enjoyable (for obvious reasons).
Godfather, Goodfellas, excellent, Sliding Doors was great and made me think of all the 'what if's' (and happy with where I am now), Forrest Gump & Saving Private Ryan are faves too.
Paper Moon, Bonnie and Clyde, Being There, Grounhog Day, Blues Brothers (and 2000), you're right - it's impossible to name just 5, sorry.
BTW, I'm trying to remember the name of the film (I've seen umpteen times) where Garth and his sidekick say 'excellent' and 'we're not worthy'...please put me out of my misery!!
Right, 3rd attempt at posting this q. (hope AB approves of this one..)
I think we both know what we mean and feel about S.L.
Darth.
Have thought of some films that stick in my mind; Sc*m (the stuff you get around the edge of the bath), N*l by M**th (the thing you eat with), Str*w D*gs.
Hope this is ok now AB Ed?
d bottoms, I love lots of the old films too - a huge part of my collection of books are biogs & autobiogs of all the 'old' film stars (Niven, C.Grant, Olivier, Flynn, Sellers etc). I am sure that some of the new(ish) ones will become classics too; Philadelphia, Schindlers List, The carry on films (joking).
I liked The Truman Show too (even though I'm not a Jim Carey fan)
