I'd say he's more of a cinephile who has seen thousands of films, and knows what he's talking about. He's developed a very strong taste for films, and those are what stood out to him.
A great double feature with “who’s afraid of Virginia wolf” would be “Make Way for Tomorrow”. That’s on the understanding that one is a glutton for dark, dark melodrama-on-steroids emotions; you’ll be sick for weeks from emotional overload. But if you’re into that sort of thing, and like looking into emotional abysses, that’s the way to go. I suppose if that doesn’t finish you off, then “Requiem for a Dream” to top it all off.
You can see it in his filmography. He purposely takes on challenging roles in movies that aren’t necessarily destined for big box office. I believe he has stated he prefers roles that are challenging opposed to taking a big check for a blockbuster.
Tampopo is just phenomenal. It's one of those films that's best seen with a large audience, if nothing more than just to see their reaction to a particular scene. The whole movie is structured like a meal, with a main course and side dishes. Absolutely brilliant and hilarious.
It is superb and Jerry Lewis is brilliant in it. As a commentary on fame it cannot be equalled and it makes you realise that although people crave great fame etc., it is a poisoned chalice.
As a fan of Norton, and based on my perceptions of Edward as an actor and person, I'd expect nothing less than a list of heady and obscure titles. I think many actors/actresses (the good ones anyway), view cinematography through a different lens than your average movie buff.
Kyle Hendrickson no need to trip, it's about what it represents, the human condition, curiosity, existentialism, human evolution etc. It's humanity in a nutshell for me
I can understand people not having heard of most of these movies,but having never heard of "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf"? Wow. That flick is scorching hot. One of the most brutal movies you'll ever see.
The people posting their own favourite films below should go back and watch this this video again. Right at the start, he does not say that these are his five favourite films; he says these are five OF his favourite films. There is a difference. And it is clear (because he tells you) that he chose to mention them because we might not have seen them or heard of them. In other words, he is trying to tell us something we might find useful. In this spirit, I will list five films which are not literally my five all-time faves, but are suggestions you might want to check out. I would be grateful if future posters did the same. All but #5 are comedies or comedy-dramas. 1. A New Leaf 2. Let It Ride 3. The Wrong Box 4. Zero Effect 5. Diva
Edward Norton is my all time favorite actor, With Christian Bale following. He and Christian Bale bring so much life and realism to the characters that they play it's amazing. You really feel like they are the character that they are playing compared to some actors who are just reading lines
1. Persona (Ingmar Bergman) 2. Seven Samurai (Akira Kurosawa) 3. Casablanca (Michael Curtiz) 4. The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover (Peter Greenaway) 5. Lawrence of Arabia (David Lean)
1) The Godfather 2) 2001 a space odyssey 3) There will be blood 4) Fightclub 5) Pulp Fiction 6) A Clockwork Orange 7) The Holy Mountain 8) Taxi Driver 9) No Country for Old Men 10) The seventh seal
Quite eclectic. The Holy Mountain, one of the most visual film openings ever. You're a true cinephile. The other people here are just fanboys and girls.
If you haven’t seen Barton Fink ... YOU NEED TO. Absolute masterpiece from the Coen brothers, that is criminally underrated. Definitely their most surreal and enigmatic film. It’s without question, one of my top 3 or 4 All Time Favorite Films
Jeffery Lebowski Well that just like.....your opinion man lol pretty good list, I thought Birdman was a great movie but I actually think Wiplash was the best nominee that year and Nightcrawler was the all around best film that year.
Mason Brown NCFOM is one of the most overrated films and un-fulfilling films I've ever seen. It just ended out of nowhere. It didn't feel like there was a payoff at the end... Birdman, however was awesome
1. American psycho 2. Drive 3. Bronson 4. American history x 5. Shawshank redemption 6. intouchables 7. Fight club 8. There will be blood 9. The Dark Knight 10. Leon the professional That would probably be my list, but it's not easy. and you always forget some
My Favorite Films (In no particular order.) Inception (2010) The Shawshank Redemption (1994) Drive (2011) Babel (2006) Interstellar (2014) There Will Be Blood (2007) Fargo (1996) No Country For Old (2007) Inside Llewyn Davis (2013) Watchmen (2009) Schindler's List (1993) 12 Years A Slave (2013) Skyfall (2012) Cloud Atlas (2012) Mad Max Fury Road (2015) The Prestige (2006) Saving Private Ryan (1998) Whiplash (2014) Terminator 2 (1991) Sicario (2015) Ex Machina (2015)
That's a near perfect list in my opinio n. I'm glad that there's an increasing appetite for Alejandro jodorowsky films even if its only for underground film buffs. What did you think of The Holy Mountain?
The Cruise really is a fantastic Doc. I never miss a chance to tell someone about this film. I guess I should not be shocked to hear Ed Norton talk about this film considering his friend, Bennet Miller, made it, but most people never heard of this film so its a pleasant surprise to hear him promote it.
Entirely agree with The King Of Comedy. Ridiculously under-rated. De Niro is chilllingly brilliant. By far, Scorsese's most unappreciated film. I rate it just below Taxi Driver/Raging Bull.
1) Blade Runner 2) Silence of the lambs 3) 2001 A Space Odyssey 4) Psycho 5) A Clockwork Orange 6) Misery 7) 12 Angry Men 8) The Prestige 9) Come and See(Idi i smotri) 10) American Psycho
1. The Master (Paul Thomas Anderson) 2. Citizen Kane (Orson Welles) 3. 2001 - A Space Odyssey (Stanley Kubrick) 4. Magnolia (Paul Thomas Anderson) 5. Vertigo (Alfred Hitchcock) 6. One flew over the cuckoo's nest (Milos Forman) 7. Breathless (Jean-Luc Godard) 8. Clockwork Orange (Stanley Kubrick) 9. There will be blood (Paul Thomas Anderson) 10. In the mood for love (Wong Kar-wai) I had to keep writing after 5, so sue me
KarateNinjaDude Great to see someone put The Master as #1, it's a remarkable film. Not my favourite yet maybe, but some day it might become my number one.
KarateNinjaDude - You have damn fine taste! The Master was, well, masterful. Stunning performances across the board. I used to watch Cuckoo's Nest almost daily... And of course, Kubrick's films have never been dethroned as the greatest experiences cinema has to offer.
well everyone else is commenting with their favorites so here we go 1. Eraserhead 2. No Country for Old Men' 3. Dead Alive 4. The Evil Dead 5. Fright Night
He is an actor. It's understandable that he'd love to watch films. And if you watch a lot of films you might like odd ones,particularly if you and people you know are starring in everything contemporary and you want some escapism.
Par Ker The movie special to me because my dad had a "No R-Rated Movie rule" in my house (was 15-16 when the film came out) he decided to give it a chance and at that point he didn't care what movie I watched xD.
Do you get the feeling these aren't his favorite movies but he either picked obscure films or a great director's (Scorsese) lesser known works so as to make himself seem hip or cool in the eyes of his cohorts? If Edward Norton was trapped on an island or something and he could take only 5 movies to watch over a period of several years, this would be his go-to list? I doubt it. The King of Comedy was not Scorsese's best work, not by a long shot and Scorsese will be the first to admit it.
But then again, this is what everyone thinks every time someone chooses an old film/not very known film/art-house film, etc. There's a huge difference between what you might think is the five best films, and what is your 5 favorite films. I for example, have the Russian film "Zerkalo" from 75 as one of my all time favorites, but I also have Scott Pilgrim vs the world on that same list. These are his PERSONAL OPINIONS, which is why we should take his word for it.
shouts out to anyone else reading all of these and bookmarking/downloading every movie they haven't heard of 1.The holy mountain 2. The cruise 3. Koyaanisqatsi 4.stroszek 5. it's such a beautiful day 6. mindgame (2004) none of these are in any order other than the holy mountain being the best
Izzy Loves Movies American Psycho and Pans Labrnthy are super underrated and 2 of the best films I have seen. Christian Bale's performance is one of the best so far this centuary.
Good list. But replace one of the Hitchcock's with a Robert Altman and I'm really there. Maybe McCabe and Mrs. Miller or Nashville, perhaps, The Player or Short Cuts.
+beefyb93 well there's plenty of classics I love, citizen cane, 12 angry men, the endlessly inventive works of buster Keaton. Most of the stuff Stanley Kubrick and Alfred Hitchcock did is pretty good. I don't get all the hype around Casablanca but it's still a good watch. I could go on for ages, and I'm 21 by the way.
Portrait of a Lady on Fire The Lighthouse The Science of Sleep Tideland Yojimbo (I feel the same as Edward: These are just five OF my faves; it's impossible to single out THE.)
Most people's lists they posted here are lists they had on the Internet. If they didn't have top movies lists on the Internet or on media, their lists would be completely different. This is my personal list of favourites that I can watch over and over again: 1) There Will be Blood 2) Whiplash 3) The Grand Budapest Hotel 4) The Truman Show / The Mask 5) Up in the Air / You've Got Mail / The Big Lebowski
My top 20: 1)In the Mood for Love 2)Whiplash 3)Harakiri 4)The Shining 5) Oldboy 6) GoodFellas 7) Parasite 8) Spirited Away 9) High and Low 10) Brazil 11) Social Network 12) The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 13) The 400 Blows 14) The Host 15) No Country for Old Men 16) Alien 17) The Thing 18) The Big Lebowski 19) Ikiru 20) 2001: A Space Oddyssey
What a great and totally original selection. I looked at this because of The King of Comedy and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, both of which I love, but I am definitely going to check out the other three. Fascinating!
1. I saw the devil (korean) 2. Memento 3. Seven psychopaths 4. Love, sex and dhoka (bollywood) 5. Thirst (korean) 6. Shahid (bollywood) 7. Gangs of wasseypur (bollywood) 8. Shutter island 9. The sixth sense 10. Mother (korean)
I have five films that always seem to survive the revisions of my ever-changing top 10 list, probably because they mean the most to me personally: 1. The Apartment 2. Fanny and Alexander 3. The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp 4. McCabe & Mrs. Miller 5. Rear Window
I only have one that will never leave my top 10. In fact it will never leave my top 1 or 2, and that's The Good The Bad and the Ugly. Others that are currently there and will most likely remain: The Shining A Clockwork Orange Blade Runner Gone With the Wind Apocalypse Now Pulp Fiction Goodfellas Deliverance Aliens Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas The Lord of the Rings Trilogy Probably pretty pedestrian pics but I like what I like.
Oh.. wow..! Thanks for sharing.... 😊❤ I Love Edward Norton.... going to check out all of Ed's recommendations.... seen most of these movies... great movies... 😊❤
1. The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (Cassavetes) 2. Ran (Akira Kurosawa) 3. Scenes from a Marriage (Bergman) 4. Bitter Rice (Giuseppe De Santis) 5. Blood Simple (Coen Bros)
I'm horrible at making lists like this, way too many amazing movies with their own unique quality that I'd tear my hair out to say which is better, but No Country for Old Men pops in my head as number one to me. It's themes of death, violence and fate, the acting with Mr. Bardem bringing the most ominous antagonist I've ever read to to the screen flawlessly and the fact it's my favorite directing bros adapting from one of my favorite authors ever makes it a perfect film imo.
1. Dances With Wolves 2. Almost Famous 3. Boyhood 4. Memento 5. There will Be Blood 6. The Shawshank Redemption 7. Born on The 4th Of July 8. Do The Right Thing 9. Pulp Faction 10. The Pledge
Mine may not be a so popular list. But 3 movies that stuck with me for the longest period of time we’re Donnie Darko, Good will hunting, and Call me By your Name.
Top 20 1) The Silence of the Lambs 2) A Clockwork Orange 3) The Shining 4) The Shawshank Redemption 5) Pulp Fiction 6) Terminator 2: Judgment Day 7) American Beauty 8) Reservoir Dogs 9) 12 Angry Men 10) Fight Club 11) Titanic 12) The Green Mile 13) Taxi Driver 14) The Sixth Sense 15) The Deer Hunter 16) Forrest Gump 17) The Godfather: Part II 18) Ferris Bueller's Day Off 19) The Godfather 20) The Grand Budapest Hotel
Mike McKay no one of the worst films I've seen, I mean I love Quentin Tarantino and everything but even if he said it was his worse movie. also you should watch some Stanley Kubrick films
In the same way that Edward Norton singles out 'King of Comedy' as one of Scorsese's underrated best, I'd single out 'Leaves of Grass' as one of Norton's underrated best. I understand what people see in his performances in AHX & Primal Fear, but to me he really takes flight with Leaves of Grass. It's exceptional work & my favourite of Ed Norton's--right up there with Birdman as the best work he's ever done.
@@supptk It is what it is. I mean, it's Ed Norton so Fight Club is very good. It's very good. But he has a little sandpile of performances that stop me in my tracks, & while FC is very good it's not in the little sandpile haha. IMO. I also thought he was a standout in a cast of standouts in Moonrise Kingdom.
+Dick Head As a whole, it has the tightest storytelling of the three films so I would also say Fellowship is probably objectively the best. However, the others had such spectacular moments that make it a tad difficult for me to call Fellowship clearly superior.
Great list by a master actor!...Ok, here's 10 favorites: Citizen Kane, Tokyo Story, Vertigo, The Seven Samurai, The Seventh Seal-Hour of the Wolf, Breathless, 81/2, 2001 Space Odyssey, Journey to Italy-Stromboli-Bicycle Thieves, Andrei Rublev-Mirror, La Jetee-Sans Soleil, Le Samourai...More recent favorites include Burning, Poetry, Secret Sunshine, Shoplifters, A Brighter Summer Day, The Other Side of The Wind and Secrets and Lies...
not the best movies but movies that bring me great entertainment: 1. Spirited Away (And other Miyazaki movies) 2. Lord of the Rings Return of the King 3. The Grand Budapest Hotel 4. The Dark Knight 5. Saving Private Ryan 6. Blow 7. The Matrix 8. The Town 9. Fight CLub 10. Gladiator
I'd say he's more of a cinephile who has seen thousands of films, and knows what he's talking about. He's developed a very strong taste for films, and those are what stood out to him.
A great double feature with “who’s afraid of Virginia wolf” would be “Make Way for Tomorrow”. That’s on the understanding that one is a glutton for dark, dark melodrama-on-steroids emotions; you’ll be sick for weeks from emotional overload. But if you’re into that sort of thing, and like looking into emotional abysses, that’s the way to go. I suppose if that doesn’t finish you off, then “Requiem for a Dream” to top it all off.
Edward Norton is one of the greatest actor of all time
I agree. There is something compelling about him.
Very underrated actor but very remarkable performances.He's my number 1 favorite actor and no other actor is like him at all
No.
He is good, but not one of the greatest
Sophia’s Vlogs the greatest
I have to say, Edward Norton has quite a sublime taste when it comes to movies. Very sophisticated choices.
Or he's too far up his own a@@.
You can see it in his filmography. He purposely takes on challenging roles in movies that aren’t necessarily destined for big box office. I believe he has stated he prefers roles that are challenging opposed to taking a big check for a blockbuster.
@@AB-nk5wvPrecisely. I remember him stating that in interviews he did for 'The Incredible Hulk' and 'Sausage Party'.
The King of Comedy is definitely Scorsese’s most underrated movie. I also would put it in my top 5.
GOAT
Tampopo is just phenomenal. It's one of those films that's best seen with a large audience, if nothing more than just to see their reaction to a particular scene. The whole movie is structured like a meal, with a main course and side dishes. Absolutely brilliant and hilarious.
It's beautiful.
I absolutely fell in love with that film right from the start, dying of laughter and joy
Edward Norton is a fantastic actor, one of the most underrated of our times
True, I have the same opinion. Brad Pitt is on of the best actors.
Who the fuck is underrating Norton?!!
King of Comedy is amazing, so glad he liked it
The greatest.
GOAT
Joker is made from this movie
Because I came here to see top fives of random strangers in the comment section.

Lmk a few movies that are undervalued in y'alls eyes
How could people choose top five favorite movies? I seriously cant!!! I love all my fave movies in different ways!!!
Exactly !!
Same here
yeah same!
Yeah i agree, i feel its a slap in the face of other movies
Agree 👍
Edward Norton is truly a phenomenal actor. He is still playing the character. He didn't broke the rules.
1. The Emperor's New Groove
... That's it.
I thought I was alone with The King of Comedy. It's my second favourite Scorsese film. It's very underrated.
It is superb and Jerry Lewis is brilliant in it. As a commentary on fame it cannot be equalled and it makes you realise that although people crave great fame etc., it is a poisoned chalice.
Love him. Will watch all just because he said to. Forever a fangirl.
What about 7 years later?
i know this, because tyler know this
I am jacks aching ball bag
As a fan of Norton, and based on my perceptions of Edward as an actor and person, I'd expect nothing less than a list of heady and obscure titles. I think many actors/actresses (the good ones anyway), view cinematography through a different lens than your average movie buff.
Thank God they do. BTW, these titles aren't all that obscure.
Watched Tampopo thanks to this.
Incredibly glad that I did. Thank you, Norton.

What did you love about The Master that makes it number 1? Especially..
Paul.
Thomas.
Anderson!!!
whocaress no because when a film comes it is what determines its quality and nothing else
1.Fight Club
2.Pulp Fiction

3. Dead Alive
4. The Evil Dead
5. Fright Night
the king of comedy?!? holy shit how could i have missed it, thank you Edward
He is an actor. It's understandable that he'd love to watch films. And if you watch a lot of films you might like odd ones,particularly if you and people you know are starring in everything contemporary and you want some escapism.
I'm happy to find out I've seen 2 of his favorite films: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and The King of Comedy. Great Actor
1) Tie between Argo and Citizen's Kane
2) Fight Club
3) Christopher Nolan's Batman Trilogy
4) A Clockwork Orange
5) Drive
Par Ker The movie special to me because my dad had a "No R-Rated Movie rule" in my house (was 15-16 when the film came out) he decided to give it a chance and at that point he didn't care what movie I watched xD.
Citizen Kane
1. Rain Man(1988)
2. Pulp Fiction (1994)
3. Crumb(1996)
4. Taxi Driver(1970's)

Have it your way dude
Big Tuna that's just like, your opinion man...
You're out of line, Walter.
Shut the fúck up Humble. You're like a child who wanders in the middle of a movie...
1. Pulp Fiction (1994)
2. Fight Club (1999)
3. No Country for Old Men (2007)
4. Groundhog Day (1993)
5. There Will Be Blood (2007)
nice. some groundhog day appreciation.
Anthony Palamara ikr this is the first time I've seen it on someone's list besides my own
zepps88 That is a really good list.
zepps88 Haha holy crap! Those first three are like literally the exact same as mine.
zepps88 Excellent list
Do you get the feeling these aren't his favorite movies but he either picked obscure films or a great director's (Scorsese) lesser known works so as to make himself seem hip or cool in the eyes of his cohorts? If Edward Norton was trapped on an island or something and he could take only 5 movies to watch over a period of several years, this would be his go-to list? I doubt it. The King of Comedy was not Scorsese's best work, not by a long shot and Scorsese will be the first to admit it.
But then again, this is what everyone thinks every time someone chooses an old film/not very known film/art-house film, etc. There's a huge difference between what you might think is the five best films, and what is your 5 favorite films. I for example, have the Russian film "Zerkalo" from 75 as one of my all time favorites, but I also have Scott Pilgrim vs the world on that same list. These are his PERSONAL OPINIONS, which is why we should take his word for it.
shouts out to anyone else reading all of these and bookmarking/downloading every movie they haven't heard of
1.The holy mountain
2. The cruise
3. Koyaanisqatsi

2. 25th Hour (2002)
3. Evil (Ondskan) (2003)

genuinely great taste and some great recommendations and love what he says about each film, especially king of comedy.
My favourites.
5. Boogie Nights
4. The Big Lebowski
3. Pan's Labyrinth
2. American Psycho
1. Silver Linings Playbook
Izzy Loves Movies American Psycho and Pans Labrnthy are super underrated and 2 of the best films I have seen. Christian Bale's performance is one of the best so far this centuary.
1. dr strangelove
2. rear window
3. mulholland drive
4. easy rider
5. vertigo
lane good taste
Good list. But replace one of the Hitchcock's with a Robert Altman and I'm really there. Maybe McCabe and Mrs. Miller or Nashville, perhaps, The Player or Short Cuts.
5. The worlds end
4. Frank
3. Anomalisa
2. It's such a beautiful day
1. Synecdoce New York
Good stuff
You like to be sad, don't you?
Seen any movies made before 2008? I kid.
+beefyb93 well there's plenty of classics I love, citizen cane, 12 angry men, the endlessly inventive works of buster Keaton. Most of the stuff Stanley Kubrick and Alfred Hitchcock did is pretty good. I don't get all the hype around Casablanca but it's still a good watch. I could go on for ages, and I'm 21 by the way.
+beefyb93 oh and Jean luc Godard his brilliant
Portrait of a Lady on Fire
The Lighthouse
The Science of Sleep
Tideland
Yojimbo

1. The Apartment
2. Fanny and Alexander
3. The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp
4. McCabe & Mrs. Miller
5. Rear Window
thanks for share. bro. ive not seen any of urs. so thnks
I hope you look back on this comment and think yourself as a twat. Fanny and Alexander? You've got to be fucking kidding me.
I only heard of the rear window, your list is an eye opener, thanks for sharing.
mccabe and mrs miller is the greatest film ever made.
I only have one that will never leave my top 10. In fact it will never leave my top 1 or 2, and that's The Good The Bad and the Ugly. Others that are currently there and will most likely remain:
The Shining
A Clockwork Orange
Blade Runner
Gone With the Wind
Apocalypse Now
Pulp Fiction
Goodfellas
Deliverance
Aliens
Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Probably pretty pedestrian pics but I like what I like.
These were Ed's 5 favorite movies back in April of 2010. His list changes every month.
Understandably so: 5 just isn't enough. See how he says "five OF my favourite" in the beginning? He's being honest about it.
Oh.. wow..! Thanks for sharing.... 😊❤
I Love Edward Norton.... going to check out all of Ed's recommendations.... seen most of these movies... great movies... 😊❤
1. The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (Cassavetes)
2. Ran (Akira Kurosawa)
3. Scenes from a Marriage (Bergman)
4. Bitter Rice (Giuseppe De Santis)
5. Blood Simple (Coen Bros)
Tampopo is an amazing film. I would recommend it to anyone.
I'm horrible at making lists like this, way too many amazing movies with their own unique quality that I'd tear my hair out to say which is better, but No Country for Old Men pops in my head as number one to me. It's themes of death, violence and fate, the acting with Mr. Bardem bringing the most ominous antagonist I've ever read to to the screen flawlessly and the fact it's my favorite directing bros adapting from one of my favorite authors ever makes it a perfect film imo.

2. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)
3. The Blues Brothers (1980)
4. Escape from New York (1981)
5. Death Proof (2007)
Asher W. Yeah, it's a really good movie.
The Blues Brothers +1
Death proof was terrible
DrunkenM33rkat what are you talking about? It was great
Mike McKay no one of the worst films I've seen, I mean I love Quentin Tarantino and everything but even if he said it was his worse movie. also you should watch some Stanley Kubrick films
Tampopo has to be one of my all time favourite films.
1- LOTR Trilogy
2- Fight Club
3- American Beauty
4- Zodiac
5- American History X
In the same way that Edward Norton singles out 'King of Comedy' as one of Scorsese's underrated best, I'd single out 'Leaves of Grass' as one of Norton's underrated best. I understand what people see in his performances in AHX & Primal Fear, but to me he really takes flight with Leaves of Grass. It's exceptional work & my favourite of Ed Norton's--right up there with Birdman as the best work he's ever done.
Won't you even consider Fight Club?
@@supptk It is what it is. I mean, it's Ed Norton so Fight Club is very good. It's very good. But he has a little sandpile of performances that stop me in my tracks, & while FC is very good it's not in the little sandpile haha. IMO. I also thought he was a standout in a cast of standouts in Moonrise Kingdom.
@@johnnydtractive Yeah ok I agree. Imma see Leaves of Grass and Moonrise Kingdom now. But I highly recommend Birdman. It was DAYUMN!
1. Goodfellas
2. The Shawshank Redemption
3. Pulp Fiction
4. Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
5. Taxi Driver
ObiSwagYolobi Im glad someone agrees that fellowship of the ring is the best Lord of the Rings film
I swear your list is the only one that actually makes sense.
Lachenai Jones haha thanks
+Dick Head As a whole, it has the tightest storytelling of the three films so I would also say Fellowship is probably objectively the best. However, the others had such spectacular moments that make it a tad difficult for me to call Fellowship clearly superior.
Great list by a master actor!...Ok, here's 10 favorites: Citizen Kane, Tokyo Story, Vertigo, The Seven Samurai, The Seventh Seal-Hour of the Wolf, Breathless, 81/2, 2001 Space Odyssey, Journey to Italy-Stromboli-Bicycle Thieves, Andrei Rublev-Mirror, La Jetee-Sans Soleil, Le Samourai...More recent favorites include Burning, Poetry, Secret Sunshine, Shoplifters, A Brighter Summer Day, The Other Side of The Wind and Secrets and Lies...
I started to cry when he mentioned the king of comedy. I love him and that movie
not the best movies but movies that bring me great entertainment:
1. Spirited Away (And other Miyazaki movies)
2. Lord of the Rings Return of the King
3. The Grand Budapest Hotel
4. The Dark Knight
5. Saving Private Ryan
6. Blow
7. The Matrix
8. The Town
9. Fight CLub
10. Gladiator
Love your #1 pick. Spirited Away is absolutely terrific.
Love the dark knight so much
