4. Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy (Technically one film cut into three pieces, in my view)

Professor Tolkien intended it to be all one book (six parts, plus the appendices), so kudos to you for thinking along the same lines as him.

I have asperger's for heaven's sake. Asking me to choose just five movies is like asking someone to eat one potato chip. I can't do it!! !! So instead I will list my 5 favorite directors/producers, as that is a far easier task and less likely to cause terminal brain freeze.

Joel/Ethan Coen
Blake Edwards
Val Lewton
Peter Jackson
George Pal

Earlier this year I probably would have said (in random order):

Lord of the Rings
Alien
Iron Man
This is Spinal Tap
Inception

But then I saw "The Cabin in the Woods" which will likely go up there. I need to see it again to be sure but it was my favorite movie I've seen in theaters in a long time.
