The Top 5 List Thread

5 favourite Terry Gilliam-directed films:

1. Brazil
2. Tideland
3. The Adventures of Baron Munchausen
4. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
5. 12 Monkeys

Tideland is the one I'm more inclined to re-watch, but it can't beat the spectacle of Brazil's dystopian bureaucracy.

The new Feg is inconsistent for me, but that's one of the three songs that stand out as good/unusual/weird for me (along with The Cynic and Discourse on Equality).

This might a tad uh, eccentric. Love some of that 90s stuff etc. Architecture of Aggression really grew on me when I decided it sounded like a great song to cover.

5 favourite Megadeth songs:
  1. Sweating Bullets
  2. Architecture of Aggression
  3. Train of Consequences
  4. Tornado of Souls
  5. The Scorpion

5 favourite Metallica songs, heh:
  1. Harvester of Sorrow
  2. Blackened
  3. Where the Wild Things Are
  4. ...And Justice for All
  5. Eye of the Beholder
 
Motorbreath > Jump in the Fire > Hit the Lights > The Four Horsemen > Whiplash

Probably. Funny how Jamez and Dave wrote two of their very best and most instantly-memorable riffs before Metallica even existed. If the studio version of Phantom Lord didn't the extraneous bullshit added it'd be in there, it's kind of a Priest ripoff even still but one of the best in its class. Whole album is really enjoyable though, overlength the only problem, No Remorse and Seek & Destroy should both be 2 minutes shorter as well.

Interesting. I will second The Godfather trilogy. I'm surprised you didnt have the first three Alien movies in there as that was essentially a self-contained trilogy too. Even though I don't like Alien 3, the other two carry the day.

Linklater's Before Sunrise/Sunset/Midnight would make my list.

Original Star Wars trilogy (duh).

Last would be Park Chan-Wook's Revenge trilogy: Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, Sympathy for Mr Vengeance and Oldboy.

Leone and Argento would be HMs.
