I could never pick just 5 myself but one of my all time favorites was Scarface. Pacino, Deniro, Robert Duvall, John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, all killer actors.

Some of my favorites...
Scarface
Lonesome Dove
Dances with Wolves
Legends of the Fall
A River Runs Thru It
Platoon
Saving Private Ryan
Forrest Gump
The Godfather
Goodfellas
Unforgiven
Tombstone
Bonnie and Clyde
Little Fause and Big Halsey
The Patriot
Jeremiah Johnson
Against A Crooked Sky
Wall Street
Pale Rider
Last of the Mohicans (Daniel Day Lewis)
Hoffa
The Young Riders
Pearl Harbor was pretty good
The Magnificent Seven

really stupid to watch now though cool at the time....

Smokey and the Bandit
American Graffiti
Grease
Deliverance
Porkie's
The Quick and the Dead (Sharon Stone was hot!)

Little Big Man (or something like that) with Dustin Hoffman

I bet if I didn't have anything better to do I could think of a bunch more. I love true stories. Right now, I like watching Band of Brothers on HBO.

5 is of course an impossible limit.
So i am limiting to not my 5 favorites, but one's that impacted me in my younger years.
The first 5 that come to my mind will be my list.
I do NOT recommend these movies, nor expect others to like them, and is totally subjective, and not a list for debate , as i have nothing to offer in debate.
The Five
La Dolce Vita
Cartouche
Shamen
Alphaville
Suddenly Last Summer

Since YOU brought it up - here are my top 5 "Guy" flix - the only rule I have for this category is that it's only for movies that GUYS like (i.e. sure, guys LOVE Rocky, but so do chicks) and they must "SUCK" per the mainstream (but we love 'em anyway)

5. Barb Wire (Pamela Anderson...atrocious script...can't take my eyes off when on)
4. Predator (Arnie in the jungle with Appollo Creed) and The Body)
3. Rambo (any one)
2. Bloodsport (Van Damme's finest hour...as well as Tex Cobb's)

and my FAVOURITE movie that only guys like and is laughably bad...
1. The Warriors (Warrrriioooooorrrs, come out and playaayy)

again, i could choose others that guys like but had mainstream acceptance (Die Hard immediately comes to mind) but of the once I chose, I dont know any chicks that liked them
