3. Back to the Future
4. The Departed/There Will Be Blood (yeah I cheated)
5. Saving Private Ryan
I'm glad to see BTTF in somebody's top five. Sure. Most people appreciate it but I still think it's underappreciated. There are cultural things in life that I think of as a dividing line. Everything that came before was "life before that" and everything that came after was "Life after that". I saw BTTF as a kid at the theater and it was the definitive theater experience for me when I was living inside that movie for the whole time and I walked out feeling like the world was a different place.

Just a great movie.

SPR is also among my favorites. I don't know about top 5 but it's damn good.

Ooh, fun, and a little bit tricky..

Movies (not in order):
1. Bladerunner
2. A Clockwork Orange
3. Excalibur (for odd reasons ;))
4. Pan's Labyrinth
5. Children of Men

Last two i am not sure about, and I don't really rate any of these as that amazing. I think there are much better movies to be made.

TV Shows:
1. True Detective (first season)
2. Game of Thrones (I think it is on the decline now though).
3. Battlestar Galactica (first 2-3 seasons)
4. Peaky Blinders
5. Jam

4 and 5 again a little bit ropey.

Bands:
1. Muse
2. Nirvana
3. Manic street Preachers (early albums only)
4.
5.

Can't really fill the rest of this one out as I listen to lots of stuff and am not really that much of a fan of any other bands. I used to love Radiohead, but went off them.

Over-rated:
1. The Beetles
2. The Shawshank Redemption (/vomit)
3. Inception
4. Tarantino
5. People

I love lists. :clap

Movies: Terminator 2, Let the Right One In, The Prestige, Beauty and the Beast, Toy Story 3
I don't really have a fixed top five films, so this is just me picking five films I like while trying to keep a varied list at the same time.

TV: Buffy, Six Feet Under, The Wire, Arrested Development, 24
This is a rough top five that I've had in mind for some time. I tried to expand this into a top 25 as there are so many other shows that deserve a mention, but even then I was agonising over what to include and what to cut. :lol

Bands: The Beatles, The Smiths, Pink Floyd, The Who, Oasis
Another top five that I've more or less had in mind for a while now. Like with all of these lists, the order isn't set in stone, and there are a few other bands who might feel aggrieved at missing out, but never mind.

Overrated: Things that aren't lists.

Underrated: Lists in general.
 
#28 ·
The first three are easily in the top 5. After that there are a few different movies that i could have put 4th and 5th.
Movies:
1. Twilight Saga
2. Lord of the Rings Trilogy
3. Gladiator
4. Forest Gump
5. Old Boy (Korean version, of course)

Easy to pick my favorite TV shows.
TV Shows:
1. Game of Thrones
2. Angel
3. Buffy The Vampire Slayer
4. Breaking Bad
5. Supernatural

I'm not much of a band fan, although I like a lot of songs by coldplay, most songs I like are by lots of different artists from lots of different genres.
Bands:
1. Coldplay
2. U2
3. AC/DC
4. Nickelback
5. Evanescence

I don't care how cheap Little Caesars is, it's still just a circle of hot garbage. It always tastes like their source of ingredients are from the greasy dumpsters of real pizza places at 3am.

And yes, enough with the damn comic book movie saturation, I actually miss when hipster indies reigned in Hollywood.
