Just for curiosity's sake, as a box office nerd I'll contribute the top 5 of all time adjusted for inflation:

1. Gone with the Wind
2. Star Wars (1977)
3. The Sound of Music
4. ET
5. Titanic

Hmm, thought there would be some more Tarantino love. Pulp Fiction is on a few lists, but expected Inglorious Basterds, Reservior Dogs, and possibly True Romance to be on some lists.

I'm legitimately surprised at the lack of love for the green mile

Hmm…while it's genuinely a very good movie, I can't even put it in my top 20.

I can't possibly make a list of 5, let alone put them in order. Here is a list of some of my favorite movies with some recent additions:

The Matrix
Shawshank Redemption
Rush
Inception
The Dark Night
The Wolf of Wall Street
Pulp Fiction
Catch Me If You Can
Bourne Supremecy (best ending to a trilogy ever)

There's so many more that I love but I'll stick with those. In all honestly I like pretty much every movie that Leonardo Dicaprio is in or Christopher Nolan or Quinten Tarantino directed.

1. Shawshank Redemption. Own the Blu-Ray, but I'll still watch it when I see it on TV.

2. The Empire Strikes Back. A childhood favourite, still love this movie.

3. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Eastwood and Wallach are amazing in this one.

4. Back to the Future. I like all of them, but the first was just such a classic right out of the gate.

5. Cool Hand Luke. Newman is great in everything.

Almost Famous was weird. Honestly I was bored the entire move but never once did I even think about turning it off or bad mouthing it and then when it ended I thought it was a great movie.

Maybe it's the music nerd in me.

In total agreement about Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, and lots of others. Here's 5 of my personal favorites that I haven't seen mentioned

Airplane!
Terminator 2
Monty Python and The Holy Grail
Forrest Gump
Die Hard

I can replay each of those movies in my mind almost scene for scene, yet whenever they're on TV I will sit down and watch
