    I was going to have this thread be your 3 favorite movies, however it is really tough to get down to three. For that matter, it is tough for me to only choose 5. But, in the spirit of keeping a reasonably sized list of favorites and also forcing folks to make some potentialy tough choices, we will go with 5. It might be fun to see how many of the same movies crop up and also what some of the unique choices are. Here are my 5 favorite movies :

    1. The Godfather
    2. The Goonies
    3. Star Wars Episode 5, The Empire Strikes Back
    4. Raiders of the Lost Ark
    5. Alien
