Top 5 Non-Western Movies (kind of impossible, so I will just list the top 5 that pop into my head):

LĆ©on: The Professional
Hard to Kill
Willow
Princess Bride
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (some say its not a western)

Top 5 Anime:

One Piece
Record of Lodoss War
Great Teacher Onizuka
Rurouni Kenshin
School Rumble

Iā€™m not sure how it isnā€™t a Western. Please enlighten me.

Iā€™m with you, I think itā€™s a western and itā€™s one of my favorites. I have heard some people say it is more of a comedy or a buddy film set in the west and Argentina than a ā€œtrue westernā€, whatever that means.

itā€™s hard to narrow it down to five but here goes:
Bicycle Thieves
The Godfather 1 and 2
Taxi Driver
The Deer Hunter
Annie Hall
i have list on imdb of my favourite films that has about 40 films

I would like to list more than five movies, but here goes:
Lawrence of Arabia
Chinatown
The Last Picture Show
To Kill a Mockingbird
La passion de Jeanne dā€™Arc

Hi alk0, itā€™s nice to see you around again.

  3. Robin Hood (1973)*
  4. Fantasia (1940)
  5. The Hidden Fortress

Big Kurosawa fan here.

  • I also love Disney animated movies, but Iā€™ve gotten a soft spot for this one lately 'cause itā€™s funny.

Eight years ago I selected these five great movies:

Not much has changed, som it seems, I would only replace Chaplinā€™s (still great) City Lights by Melvilleā€™s Lā€™ArmĆ©e des Ombres

So this is my actual Top Five (random order):

Mon Oncle - Tati
Otto e mezzo - Fellini
Lā€™ArmĆ©e des Ombres - Melville
La Notte di San Lorenzo - Taviani Brothers
Au revoir les enfants - Malle

  1. Alien (Scott, 1979)
  2. Pulp Fiction (Tarantino, 1994)
  3. Magnolia (Anderson, 1999)
  4. Mulholland Drive (Lynch, 2001)
  5. Repo Man (Cox, 1984)

It changes all the time

Emperor of the North Pole
Dirty Harry
The Mechanic
The Internecine Project
Violent Naples

  1. The Godfather
  2. Taxi Driver
  3. GoodFellas
  4. Casino

Iā€™ve decided that Sanjuro (1962) is a favourite of mine as well.

Not that I can even began, but without spaghetti westerns Iā€™d think of these ( not in this order of course).
Rolling Thunder (1977) directed by John Flyn
Maniac (1980) directed by William lustig
The Revnant (2015) directed by Alejandro Gonzalez inarritu
Blood Feast (1963) directed by Herschell Gordon Lewis
The wild bunch (1969) directed by Sam Peckpinpah
Bay of Blood (1971) directed by Mario Bava

Iā€™m bumping this one!

  1. Taxi Driver
  2. Once Upon a Time in America
  3. The Conversation
  4. Sorcerer
  5. The Dirty Dozen
