  1. Once upon a time in the West
  2. Dogville
  3. Pulp Fiction
  4. American Beauty
  5. Fucking Γ…mal

Top rated because of the story (all), acting (all), music (except for 2), number of awesome quotes (3 and 4) and all in all just being amazing.

Also, since I saw someone mention it, I'd like to add that the worst movie of all time is imho 2001 A Space Odyssey. On IMDb I don't rate movies lower than 2 stars because I have 1 exclusively reserved for 2001 ASO. Watching it has been the most boring experience of my life, which btw is saying a LOT. Punishment in hell probably shifted to eternally watching this movie, with sinners wishing to go back to when they were physically tortured. I cannot stress enough how much I dislike this movie. You can be absolute sure that my top 5 is nothing like that.

Bring It On, Liar Liar, The Hot Chick, House Party 4, and Burn After Reading

With exquisite taste, I embrace a diverse spectrum of films, from the captivating cheerleading rivalry and wit of "Bring It On" to Jim Carrey's comedic brilliance in "Liar Liar," and the hilarious escapades of body-swapping in "The Hot Chick." "House Party 4" evokes a nostalgic charm, while the Coen brothers' "Burn After Reading" showcases their unparalleled storytelling, leaving me captivated. This selection embodies my discerning taste and appreciation for a wide range of cinematic experiences.
