Is that including Rocky Balboa and Creed or just the original 5

All of them.  It's a great series.  I agree, Rocky 4, while just one big long MTV music video, it really manipulates you perfectly so that you cheering by the final fight.

Hey man, in 2013, the BFI's Sight and Sound magazine ranked Star Trek Generations as the greatest film starring Patrick Stewart and Bill Shatner ever made. (I think.) :D

Wait, are they both in any other movie together?
 
My lists will not be in a particular order (because I don't like picking favourites...)

"Top" Ten Nine Favourite Films:

There are many films I love, but only a few I can consider as absolute favourites - atm I can only list 9:

  1. Alien
  2. The Thing 
  3. Perfect Blue 
  4. Jurassic Park 
  5. Raiders of The Lost Ark 
  6. The Empire Strikes Back 
  7. Toy Story 
  8. The Fellowship of the Ring 
  9. Sword of The Stranger 

Honourable Mentions:

  1. Apocalypse Now
  2. King Kong (1933)
  3. Unforgiven
  4. Starship Troopers
  5. Kagemusha
  6. Memories of Murder 
  7. The Godfather
  8. Stalag 17 
  9. For A Few Dollars More
  10. The Pink Panther (1963)
Also, I only watched it for the first time recently, but "Rope" blew me away. It's easily a contender for one of the best Hitchcock films I've seen. 

I also think its worth mentioning directors and writers, since there are many I love the films of, despite not necessarily having one particular film of theirs listed as a favourite:

Favourite Director's/writers:

  1. Billy Wilder
  2. Alfred Hitchcock 
  3. Terry Gilliam 
  4. The Coen Brothers 
  5. Akira Kurosawa 
  6. Satoshi Kon 

Also, this thread should probably be merged with this one:

1 Back To The Future
2 Terminator 1/2 
3 Kill Bill 1/2

Yes! I forgot to put this on honorable mentions. :D

Saying that, is it ok for me to declare a movie a favourite if I've fanedited it to preference...? 

Obviously, the point of a fan-fix is to make it how you think it should be, and therefore it should (in theory) be perfect in your eyes - however, it also feels akin to, say, writing a novel and saying that it's your favourite book.
