I just love the two Riddick films, especially the second one because it's so OTT and enjoyable, even though I know in reality that it's very silly. Can't help but like it.

I honestly can't do a definitive top 5, so I'll do my top 5's according to genre, and sure even then it's far too difficult. Anyway, I'll have a shot at comedies first.

I love a good independent type movie like that that really draws you into the enviroment and area where it's shot... it all seemed so authentic, you know? The isolation and coldness of the landscaped echoed the reserved nature of the inhabitants. Incredibly realistic, sparse in dialogue and it actually stayed with me afterwards, particularly the girl in the lead who was absolutely exceptional. Hope she gets more parts.

Yea, she was amazing. It did seem more real than most films, and yea a lot is left unsaid, but it's still very easy to follow, also there was hardly a soundtrack to the movie at all.

Only put Tombstone there because it's just so much fun. Anyway, there's so many other great westerns that I could easily replace the ones I've mentioned with, like Shane, Once Upon a Time in the West, 3.10 to Yuma... etc.

Oh, and all of Eastwood's movies are worth watching.
