Five greatest movies:
Jurassic Park - I agree completely. A new age in moviemaking was entered in 1993.
X-Men: A ground-breaking, TRUE comic book movie. It paved the way for everything else that has swarmed onto the silver screen, good or bad. That includes Spiderman's successes and some "failures".
X-Men 2: For actually bettering the first movie. They have finally figured out how to keep the "comic book" in a comic book movie. Imagine that.
Das Boot: A chillingly accurate (yet not quite non-fiction) story about the Kriegsmarine under the waves during WWII. Others come close to this level of realism, but not quite. I've forgotten that it was a movie more than once while watching it.
The Hunt for Red October: Cold War sub-hunting in the depths of the North Atlantic. Sean Connery's best movie ever.
