    5 of your favourite movies and albums?

    In an effort to get to know all you cats here at HPOTD better, I just wandered if you'd throw down a little info about yourself and your favourite stuff. These don't have to be a top 5 in any order, just 5 things you're really digging on right now.

    For Example:
    I am a podcaster and blogger from England who currently lives in New York. I also write and record musical albums and compose soundtracks for an independent film company based in the UK.

    5 of my fav movies are:
    Evil Dead 2
    GAR's Day of the Dead
    Taxi Driver
    Anchorman
    The 'Burbs

    albums:
    Mule Variations - Tom Waits
    Travelling Wilbury's Vol.1
    American VI: Ain't No Grave - Johnny Cash
    The Grand Bounce - Gordon Downie
    Into The Wild - Eddie Vedder

    Can't wait to hear your stuff!

    Thanks for the list man, big fan of Dawn of the Dead and Back to the Future 2. These don't have to be top 5 lists though, just 5 things you like at the moment.
    I don't do top five ranked lists either, I can barely manage a top 5 I am happy with out of each genre...

    I can honestly say I have never heard of or listened to any of those albums though... what a sheltered life I must lead!

    Still, thanks again sir, good way to get the ball rolling!

    I love The Big Lebowski too it would definitely be in my top 10 comedy movies which would put it in running for one of the funniest films, world wide...
    Clerks is also brilliant

    Again I haven't heard or heard of any of those albums. My music taste is so limited to folk, rock, blues, jazz etc. where as my big movie collection covers all genres, all subjects and all styles...

    liking these lists!

    Five movies that I would definitely recommend to all would be...
    1. Dawn of the Dead
    2. Triangle
    3. Memento
    4. Groundhog Day
    5. Hmmm...couldnt come up with a firm number five, but definitely those 4.

    Some near perfect albums...
    1. AC/DC - Back in Black
    2. Van Halen - 1984
    3. Public Enemy - Fear of a Black Planet
    4. The Oak Ridge Boys - Have Arrived
    5. Again, too hard to determine

    So hard to do here.
    As far as albums, they'd have to be cds I put together of my few faves.
    There'd be a self made, extra longplay cd of my fave Duran songs, Billy Idol, Depeche Mode, The Cure, and Adam Ant.

    Movies? Hard as well.
    Baseketball, Rocketman, Pineapple Express, Your Highness, and... uhhhh...
    Torn between Pee Wee and BTTF. Amazing there's no horror in there. I'm in Dallas right now, and don't have access to my collection for perusal. Beetlejuice perhaps?

    This is next to impossible for me. With the exception of Ghostbusters being my favorite movie, both lists change from time to time. I'll try one for the time being...

    Movies
    1. Ghostbusters
    2. Day of the Dead
    3. Dawn of the Dead
    4. Both Nolan Batman movies
    5. Planet of the Apes series

    Albums(again....these are just what i've been listening to lately. Not all-time)
    1. Sublime With Rome - Yours Truly
    2. 311 - Universal Pulse
    3. Silverchair - Diorama
    4. Oingo Boingo - Farewell Concert
    5. Sevendust - Home

    These are all such interesting and brilliant lists. Such a wide range of music particularly and some great films. My 5 would change daily definitely and I could never create a definite order but
    what's nice is how these lists represent a little snap shot of who we all are.
