Cracking movies, would be on my reserve, reserve list for sure. Its important that the film you choose is one that you can watch repeatedly and not lose the feeling you get the first, second time round.  Haven't changed my original 5 though

Its hard to pick a list of films without bias towards what you seen when you were really young and still love now, even though you know that there was maybe bad acting or storylines in the films. 

1)  Bloodsport
2)  Home Alone
3)  Flight Of The Navigator
4)  Rocky films
5)  Back To The Future trilogy

Again, it is hard to pick a top 5 - had actually tried this a few months ago and realistically I got to about a top forty.

1)  Drive
2)  Shawshank

5)  Good Will Hunting

State of Grace is my number 6. Belter of a film with a great cast. Very surprised alot of people haven't heard of it let alone seen it.
