This is way too big of a question for me, loving movies as much as I do. But I'll give it a try:

1. Jaws (I've watched it a million times, and I'll probably watch it tomorrow.)

2. Last of the Mohicans (Same as above. I love this movie.)

3. Stand By Me (Only a great movie can make you laugh your ass off and break your heart in the space of 2 hours.)

4. A Christmas Story (There is a 24 hour marathon every Christmas. I watch it at least 4 times.)

5. Rob Roy (Seriously quotable.)

**KingCracker**

Yea like most folks on here, I watch way to many movies for this to be accurate, as it changed often. But heres some that come to mind quick

Thank you for Smoking (its just hilarious, and I watch it often)
13th Warrior
LOTR trilogy (I hate myself when I get in the mood to watch them again)
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original, such a gritty movie, just love it)
I love you man. (Dammit to hell, its just so funny!)

1.) Forrest Gump

2.) Shawshank Redemption

3.) Saving Private Ryan

4.) Lord of the RIngs (trilogy, you just can't spit them up)
