Here are my fav 5 films of all time:
"Some Like it Hot" old black and white film (managed to get a DVD). Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, Marilyn Monroe. Fantastic gangster comedy, still cracks me up laughing every time I watch it.
Shawshank redemption, great twist at the end, with Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. Morgan's narration throughout the film is truly epic, his understanding of humanity and that sense of wisdom you gain in order life I connect with on so many levels. I often compare this film to a great friendship I have with my boss. Probably one of the greatest films ever made.
Pulp Fiction gangster film with Quentin Tarantino. With John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis. It's a film, within a film, within a film. The humour and story is amazing. It's one of those films you need to see about 5 times and really get to know the characters to really enjoy it. My favourite Tarantino film. Zed's dead baby...Zeds dead....LOL..incredible.
The Matrix, you either love or it, or just don't get it at all. I often relate to this film when thinking of EU, it's all about making 'choices' and having self belief, and course...why are we here.
Star Trek the first one Directed by J.J. Abrams bring modern characters to the original team. With Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, I love to bits. It's the music as they approach the Enterprise, always makes my hair stand on end. You can't beat it. Such a shame our own 'Enterprise' within EU has little to do until space improves.
That's it, must see films I'd say.
