kind of a generalized question..IMO......cuz now days you may have to include trilogies, epics, series.......whatever but..
movies with the greatest impact or deep scarring moments, (not in any specific order):
1. Jaws (it took years for me to want to go back in the ocean)
2. star wars (the first one, because it made me think about the possibilities outside of the time we live in )
3. schindler's list ( brought a realism home that i knew existed & happened but not on a level that text books could convey)
4. saving private ryan (the 1st 20 minutes, my dad went thru ww2 & he said that was as real as it got for movies..........he was at iwo jima)
5. bill & ted's excellent adventure...........(thats bullshoot just cuz the first 4 were heavy on my brain)
holy crap........to narrow all the movies i ever watched down to 5 favorite is a hard thing to do because there are so many that serve different purposes, comedy, drama, sci-fi, documentary,...etc,
maybe the title of the thread should be....."if you were stranded in a place for a long long time and could only bring 5 movies.... what would you take with you?..........PORN DOESN'T COUNT !!!! well it does but not in this poll.....
