there are some striking instances of films cited on this "best of" list which also appear on the "movies walk out of" list. i never realized that Brewster's Millions was so polarizing. :)
 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It's not so odd if you think about it: a movie--or any other work of art--that arouses enough passion in one person so that it's an all time favorite can also cause as much passion in another person to feel the other way. Two of the movies on my all time fave list, Lynch's MULHOLLAND DRIVE and Kubrick's 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY are movies that people either love or hate. Very few people are apathetic about either. For me the movies that I really hate are ones that I didn't walk out of but sat through, stunned by what was passing in front of my eyes. Examples: SALO: THE 120 DAYS OF SODOM, CALIGULA, THE NIGHT PORTER, CANNIBAL FEROUX, LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT, MAKE THEM DIE SLOWLY, RED DAWN, SGT PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND and THE HOUSE BY THE LAKE are all movies that I despised every minute of & which made me angry but I was never bored. I guess I had to sit through them just to make sure I hated them as much as I did.

And 3 of the movies I listed above, SALO: THE 120 DAYS OF SODOM, LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT and THE NIGHT PORTER, are considered classics by some critics & film fanatics (Roger Ebert is a fan & champion of LAST HOUSE)

The movies I walked out on were too boring & predictable to truly hate or have any emotion over.

!!! I'm shocked. You are so wrong man. Have you even read the book? You really can't compare them. I guess everyone has there own opinion ... but... really man...


Anyways: Hmm.. my 5.. of the top of my head:

1- star wars 3 - A very entertaining space opera.
2- dawn of the dead original - best zombie movie ever.
3- rocky I - a well done movie
4- lost highway- works the fine line between sanity and insanity
5- robocop- i like verhoeven, and this movie alot; i love this vision of 1999's Detriot

Disclaimer: I don't think these are the '5 best movies', but these are 5 that I really enjoy.
 
5 - Donnie Darko
4 - Its All Gone Pete Tong
3 - The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissuo
2 - The Goonies
1 - Ghost World

It changes but Ghost World stays atop . . .
