Top five movies of all time

1.) Pulp Fiction- Not only does it have the most awesome soundtrack ever created, Quentin Tarantino also exploits his idea of society effectively. Samuel L. Jackson's character eloquently depicts a "common" man's relationship with his God and portrays a non-stereotypical view of a "gangster's" morals and religious faith.

2.) Cry Freedom- Steve Biko's life and death couldn't have been portrayed more clearly and powerfully than this. It shows exactly that cause of which Black Activists such as Steve Biko, Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King died for.

3.) Rocky Horror Picture Show- It couldn't be more wrong, it couldn't be more brilliant. The soundtrack's one to keep.

4.) Girl Interrupted- This digs right into you conscious, subconscious and clarifies exactly what "crazy" is. It opens your eyes into new ideas as to what goes on in the minds of those we label "mentally imbalanced" or "psychologically unhealthy". Why does a rebellious attitude need to be treated? Why is promiscuous behaviour considered "mentally damaging"?

5.) Eraserhead- Like many David Lynch films, this pure artistry delves right into the centre of your mind and alters your subconscious. Then you see that subconscious consciously and its unnerving. Brilliant.
