Holy smokes, you sound like my brother.

Without thinking for more than 2 minutes, I read over and decided to play along with this game.

My top five, without much thought:

Amadeus
City of God
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Fanny and Alexander
American History X


It isn't very easy to list them, but I have a good solid list of movies that I consider to be good. It isn't very fun leaving off other movies that could almost hop on the list. But, if anyone wants a list of movies, let me know! Amadeus is the best movie I have ever seen in my short life.

Even though it didn't make my top 5, Amadeus is indeed a very good film. Guess I'll have to extend my top 5, as I have seen some films here that have made me want to watch them again.

Blues Brothers not a comedy?

 

[Meatball56]

Blues Brothers not a comedy?

Technically a Musical, and just as much an Action movie as a Comedy. The others... straight Comedy.
