    My top three are easy...

    1. Bull Durham
    1. Princess Bride
    1. The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension

    after that it gets harder. I'd have to say these are tied as well:

    4. Remo Williams
    4. To Cast A Deadly Spell

    Funny, we own a whole bunch of DVDs but hardly ever watch any of them.

    ...sorry, there's one more, the Grandaddy of 'em all!

    0. Monty Python and the Holy Grail

    Ghost in the Shell (Kokaku Kidotai), Bladerunner, Gattaca.... (No wonder I'm in the field of bio-engineering!)
    Argh, its so hard to decide!!!! These three are the top dogs. Beyond them, they run the gamut: Aliens, Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade, Millenium Actress (Sennen Joyu), Grave of the Fireflies (Hotaru no Haka), The New Dragon Inn, Swordsman I, II, 13th Floor, The Land Before Time, The Godfather, Infernal Affairs...
    I give up. This list will never end. Curse top '5's! (or '10's!)

    That's the Vampire movie with George Clooney, right? I think that one would be in my Bottom 5 movies.

    [edit]I have only seen the last half, I see. I heard the change from Bankrobery-movie to Vampire-slaying is interesting. But since I have only seen the vampire-part, I thought it to be munchy[/edit]
