Hard to pin down just 5, but here are some that come to mind as I sit here. Might give a different answer tomorrow...
  • The Longest Yard (the first one)
  • Forest Gump
  • Hunt for Red October
  • The Godfather, 1 and 2, but not 3
  • Five Easy Pieces

Hunt for Red October is another great one! I can watch that time and time again.
 

Groundhog Day is the movie I have watched the most by a wide margin. There are no other movies that strike me as simultaneously interesting philosophically and entertaining. But there are a few I’ve watched more than once:

A Few Good Men
Shawshank Redemption
The Green Mile

and a tie for the last slot between

As Good As It Gets
Terms of Endearment

I loved Seabiscuit too! Great feelgood movie. Been hoping it would come out on NetFlix sometime?
Have you seen 50-1? Similar thing but not as well acted.

true story!
My late husband and I were sitting in a breakfast place about 30 miles from the Ruidoso race track.
We never bet the horses but all of a sudden He said. "I have this REALLY STONG FEELING I'm supposed to go bet on
"Mine that Bird!" in the races today!" The paper says he's 50 to 1!"
I said, "let's do it!" " After we eat, lets go bet whatever amount you want!"
So we decided a thousand.
We left and instead of driving to the race track, he drove to our home!
I said, "I thought we were going to go place a bet!" He said, "Nah!"
Well, He won! We could have won $50,000!

ALWAYS listen to your angels and high spirits!

You have good taste, Mr. Pants!
