I had a really difficult time narrowing this down to 5, so I listed 7 total. I had to put some thought into this...in no particular order:

1) "O Brother! Where Art Thou?"
2) "A Hard Day's Night"
3) "The Graduate"
4) "Purple Rain"
5) "Saturday Night Fever"
5) "The Legend Of Bagger Vance"
5) "Rocky"

Just to further explain... everyone here knows I'm a huge fan of the movie "Crossroads," but I didn't include the soundtrack. I do love the soundtrack, but the soundtrack unfortunately doesn't include "Eugene's Trick Bag," which I think is a big omission, so I can't put it in my Top 5 (or Top 7).
