1. The Godfather [i+II]
2. Pulp Fiction
3. A Clockwork Orange
4. Goodfellas
5. Contact

I know I'm probably missing some all-time powerful ground-breaking film...

Oh, that's pretty much inevitable when you are limited to just five choices. Don't worry.

The House Of D - Written and directed by David Duchovny. Not an X-Files fan and wasn't sure what to expect. Was more interested in Robin Williams' role. (And he was brilliant.) The film itself turned out to be one of the best I have ever seen.

 

Airplane! - How can anyone not love this big ball of goofiness? laugh.gif

 

Monty Python And The Holy Grail - Pure classic

 

What Dreams May Come - Emotionally powerful and philosophically deep. Robin Williams' finest performance.

 

The World According To Garp - I love Robin in his more serious roles, and this one moves me to tears every time.

5. Lost Highway - The first 4 were easy, but I had to deliberate hard for the 5th spot. This is one deeply f*cked-up movie from the twisted mind of David Lynch that is brilliantly surreal. A couple of times I've thought I understood the whole thing and how it all fits, but that's really missing the point. It's an insane story that doesn't really make sense, but man is it beautiful to watch. I say beautiful even though it's got tons of sex and violence, and is really, REALLY weird, but it's done so artfully. I love how for the first 20-30 minutes almost nothing happens. I love how in the middle of the movie the main character becomes a completely different peson (different actor even), and the scene where Robert Blake is in two places at once (if you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about) is brilliant, hilarious and disturbing. This is one of those movies that I watch with my mouth open and at the end go "WHAT the F*CK???", but inside I'm just so deeply satisfied. Definitely not for everyone.

LH is awesome. Though I think Lynch's Mulholland Drive is even better. MD is just a tad bit more coherent - when it is over and you think it through, MD actually makes a lot of sense. LH still has too many loose ends. Still, I love it.

one of the many things i love about lost highway is that it so artfully doesn't make sense. you get the impression that david lynch knew exactly what he was doing, that he could have had it make sense, be more linear and have the loose ends tied up if he wanted to, but the fact that he so intentionally left it as wide open as he did (after all, what DID happen that night? confused13.gif laugh.gif ) made it all the more a surreal masterpiece. it's like he was just f*cking with everybody biggrin.gif .

 

i saw mulholland drive only once and mostly i remember it being at least as giddily weird as lost highway, but it didn't have quite the same effect on me. i'll definitely have to see that one at least once more...

Speaking of his serious roles, I really liked his performance in One Hour Photo as well. Definatly played the creepy obsessive guy with a human touch. Mark Romanek is just a damn fine director too though.
