5 must-have movies for every home collection?

1. Gone with the Wind
2. Kill Bill
3. Sex and the City
4. Fight Club
5. Breakfast at Tiffany's

1. Titanic
2. Star Wars
3. The Godfather
4. The Lord of the Rings
5. The Shawshank Redemption

So, what is this thread even about? Is it supposed to be your top five movies or something? Because there is no way I'm watching 100 different sets of picks from 100 different people... 🙄

Out of order, if you must:

The Wedding Singer

Terminator 2: Judgment Day

The Warrior and the Empress

Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge 😍😍😍

Beverly Hills Cop (largely thanks to that soundtrack 😁)

Jerry Maguire—honestly, both actors were quite repulsive in real life, but let’s be fair, they were absolutely legendary on screen.

- The Thing (John Carpenter, '82),
- Mad Max 1 & 2 (George Miller '79,'81),
- The Godfather trilogy (Francis Ford Coppola '72, '74, '90),
- Aliens (James Cameron '86),
- Amores Perros (Alejandro G. Iñárritu 2000),
- Downfall (Oliver Hirschbiegel 2004)....

Forrest Gump
Life is Beautiful
Forrest Gump
Love Actually

Man, I’m totally stuck on what to put in that 5th spot, you know? There are just so many solid movies out there, it's driving me crazy trying to pick just one... Shutter Island, Mystic River, Se7en, Prisoners... there's a whole bunch more, honestly!

My next 5 collections are definitely these:

1. The Lord of the Rings
2. Star Wars
3. The Godfather
4. Lethal Weapon
5. Die Hard

There's more out there, but these 5 are non-negotiable for me👍

yippy kai yay

Five American must-haves:

1. Smokey and the Bandit
2. Ferris Bueller's Day Off
3. The Sandlot
4. Independence Day
5. It's a Wonderful Life (even if things go south, they stay south)

So, look—I’m not saying this is my definitive "top 5 greatest movies of all time" list or anything—it's more like those reliable, go-to films you just want to have sitting on your shelf at home, you know? The kind of stuff you can rewatch whenever and most people will actually agree they're decent.

- Life is Beautiful
- Dirty Dancing
- Forrest Gump
- Forrest Gump
- Some Like It Hot

Empire of the Sun

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
I find myself frequently returning to the philosophical grit of *Fight Club*. It’s one of those rare cinematic experiences that manages to be both visceral and deeply cerebral, even if it leaves you feeling slightly unhinged by the end. There is something about the way it deconstructs consumerism through such raw, chaotic imagery that still resonates, regardless of how many times I revisit it. Truly a remarkable piece of filmmaking.
I find myself frequently returning to *The Prestige*. There is something about its intricate, layered structure that demands constant re-examination, much like a complex puzzle that refuses to stay solved. It’s a film that respects the viewer's intelligence, even if it leaves you feeling slightly breathless by the final act.
Scent of a Woman
Reservoir Dogs

Armageddon
Die Hard
