Name the top 5 movies and top 5 series of all time that you've seen

Mine:

MOVIES

5 - The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
The last battle between the humans ad th orcs is one of the most epic battle scenes of all time.

4 - The Rattlesnake
Surprising because I hardly watch Nollywood. But this Amaka Igwe's 95 or 96 classic is a legendary story (Ahanna, Peter, Adaugo etc)

3 - Black Hawk Down
My best war film of all time. Shows the gritty and not so heroic aspects of war fims. Same as Mel Gibson's We Were Soldiers and Tom Hank's Saving Private Ryan. Epics

2 - Troy
Achilles's "We are Lions" speech before the battle of Troy still leaves a lump in my throat whenever I watch it. As well as the death scene of prince Hector. I am still angry though that Paris and his lover get to survive after Troy was destroyed and everyone else died due to the stupidity they called love.

1 - Titanic
Everything about this movie intrigues me. Literally everything. From when the ship left Southampton, when Jack met Rose, that epic "My heart will go on" soundtrack against the backdrop of a ship on an endless ocean at night (tears). Even when old Rose threw the diamond into the black ocean and watched it sink to the bottom. Absolutely classic

Notable mentions:
Robo cop
Con air
12 years a slave
Air Force One (Harrison Ford)
Harriet
The notebook
Hotel Rwanda
Wedding party
The Mummy
Mr Bones
Black November
American sniper

SERIES

5 - Modern Family
My favorite characters
Jay Pritchett
Luke
Dylan grin
Phil
Gloria

4 - Strike Back
The only downside to this series is that Michael and Scott are virtually unkillable. They'll enter a house with 50 armed hostiles shooting at them yet all the bullets miraculously miss them, yet they kill the hostiles with only one shot each. But other than that this series keeps me glued. Micheal and Scott's bromance is the highlight of the entire series

3 - Two and a half men
Only up to season 8 though. After they removed Charlie it became a snorefest. Ashton Kutcher did not in anyway make up for Charlie's absence in my opinion. But the seasons with Charlie oh my God grin

2 - 24
What can I say. I have learnt A LOT about politics, cyber warfare, terrorism etc from this series.

1 - Game of thrones
Every single scene in Game of thrones is a classic. Every single scene. No other series does this for me. I have probably watched all seasons at least 3 times

Notable mentions:
How I met your mother
Friends
The Punisher
Orange county
Money heist

So that's mine. Let's have yours.
Lord of the rings is supposed to be number 1. The film is a real classic,then Game of thrones follow

SERIES
Spartacus-That series contains everything that makes a good series from romance, war, politics, betrayal, intrigue and lot of catch phrases. For example when Spartacus was in the arena as a new slave, he was only given a wooden sword to defend himself and when he defeated the well trained Gladiator he was granted life, when the senator ask Lagadus Glabar what name does the man bear, he said "I NEVER CARED TO ASK" that was epic..

Power- This series tell a story about a young man called ghost and his best friend tommy who grow up in new York, they wear trained by a street nigger call kenan, who thought them how to run the drug business. Ghost had everything and wanted to leave the drug business but circumstances didn't let him quite, till he was murder by his own son.

Avatar (Last Airbender)-Talks about a young avatar who can manipulate all four elements, when the world needed him most he disappeared.

Legend of the seeker
Prison break

If you are a comedy lover like me, for series go for

1. My name is Earl
2. Monk (watch out, people might think you are mad for laughing all by yourself when you just remember some scenes in that series)
3. Trial and Error (oh my God, just the mention of this is making me laugh right now). Just 2 seasons unfortunately
4. The good place

A lover of Action? for series
1. 24
2. Prison Break
3. Burn Notice
4. Chuck (Action/comedy)

A lover of Epic? for series
1. Game of thrones
2. Vikings
3. Spartacus

For drama? there are quite a lot here, but these few deserve mention
1. Ozark
2. Orange is the new black
3. Suits
4. How to get away with Murder
5. This is Us

For other genres, I will update later, make I go find something chop

Surprising because I hardly watch Nollywood. But this Amaka Igwe's 95 or 96 classic is a legendary story (Ahanna, Peter, Adaugo etc)

My best war film of all time. Shows the gritty and not so heroic aspects of war fims. Same as Mel Gibson's We Were Soldiers and Tom Hank's Saving Private Ryan. Epics

2 - Troy
Achilles's "We are Lions" speech before the battle of Troy still leaves a lump in my throat whenever I watch it. As well as the death scene of prince Hector. I am still angry though that Paris and his lover get to survive after Troy was destroyed and everyone else died due to the stupidity they called love.

1 - Titanic
Everything about this movie intrigues me. Literally everything.

4 - Strike Back
The only downside to this series is that Michael and Scott are virtually unkillable. They'll enter a house with 50 armed hostiles shooting at them yet all the bullets miraculously miss them, yet they kill the hostiles with only one shot each. But other than that this series keeps me glued. Micheal and Scott's bromance is the highlight of the entire series

3 - Two and a half men
Only up to season 8 though. After they removed Charlie it became a snorefest. Ashton Kutcher did not in anyway make up for Charlie's absence in my opinion. But the seasons with Charlie oh my God grin

Omo, the first time I watched hacksaw Ridge, I was so intensed... I had to quickly scroll to the ending to see what happened..

I've watched pearl Harbour also... Apart from when the Japanese attacked them, the remaining parts became boring.. maybe its because I'm not a man of love tho cheesy

Have u see Valkyrie... That one is more intense than hacksaw Ridge ...esp when they were caught and executed... I nearly cried embarassed
