    Your top five films

    Top five in no particular order:

    Usual Suspects
    Amelie Poulain
    The Fifth Element
    Ferris Bueller's Day Off
    The Rock


    Ones that come close:

    12 Monkeys
    City of God
    Maverick
    The Wedding Singer
    Gladiator
    Lock Stock
    Hercules Returns
    Sideways
    The Princess Bride
    Showtime
    Casino (and probably Goodfellas)
    Indiana Jones (All of them)

    I'm the first to admit I have surprisingly cheesy taste in films, despite being such a cool-ass motherfucker :)

    Mainly just the set and costume design. It's one of those films that i saw when i was younger, enjoyed it at the time, and still like for no particularly logical reason.
