Top 5 Favorite Movies of All Time

5. Taxi Driver
Scorsese's look at post-war human psyche and existentialism in an American society that isn't what it once was.

















4. Raiders of the Lost Ark
Stephen Spielberg, George Lucas, and Harrison Ford's homage to classic '30s pulp fiction that helped shape the action/adventure genre as we know it. Indiana Jones will go down as one of the greatest cinema heroes of all time. The American Film Institute ranked him the best hero, second only to Atticus Finch (a tough character to beat).













3. Die Hard

Die Hard has set up a precedent for every action movie after it. It's an industry joke that most action screenplays get pitched as "Die Hard on a boat/on a plane/etc." To this day, its still one of the greatest uses of physical effects and miniatures













2. Pulp Fiction

Quentin Tarantino's tour de force that is one of the most memorable screenplays and has spawned plenty of imitators. Dialogue has rarely been both cool and relatively natural at the same time.














1. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

A simple plot of a man who enters a mental facility and becomes an inspiration to the members puts a lot of weight on the actor and Jack Nicholson performed masterfully. This is the movie that transformed Jack Nicholson, one of the greatest actors to ever come out of the industry, from a promising up and comer to a superstar. Never will anyone watch a movie and want to kill the villain as much as this one.
