off the top of my head. wanted to do more, but i'm down with taking orders so i'll knock it down to five.

Mulholland Drive
Persona
Viridiana
Amelie
Elephant Man

P.S. if you asked me to do this again, right now, i would probably give 5 completely different movies. it's just too hard.

[–] Enrique-8 18 years ago

It is impossible to pick 5. There are at least 500 that I would take to a desert island. I know that's NOT the question here. Like many of your here, I have divergent tastes.

Many of your choices so far are also mine. Some of your choices are merely stageplays transferred to the screen. I think that movies which could ONLY be made on the silver screen should qualify as movies, as such. For example, I challenge anyone to put 2001 A Space Odyssey on the stage...but 12 Angry Men...unarguably a great film...is still only a stage play transferred to the screen. In fact it was a teleplay first.

By the way, I am so glad to see that no one chose The Godfather movies. Completely overrated.
