#1 is Clockwork Orange directed by Stanley Kubrick

I would probably consider this movie as one of the most astonish piece of cinema ever. I definitely consider it to be a tremendous "Chef d'oeuvre".
Stanley Kubrick's brilliant A CLOCKWORK ORANGE announces itself as a completely new kind of viewing experience.
Ambitious and stylized in a very british style, Kubrick's poignantly prophetic satire of crime and punishment, redemption and free will, is still much misunderstood by critics emphasizing its ultra-violence but for me it seems it is just vintage Kubrick and classic cinema.
#2 is The good, The bad and The ugly directed by Sergio Leone

You don't really need me to review this movie for you, do you? It is just the definitive western spaghetty ever made, the point is not what happens in the movie but how it happens, a curious blend of partly humorous, partly dramatic, partly elegiac legend. Cultissimo
#3 is Dial M for murder (1954) directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

Alfred Hitchcock had already begun work on REAR WINDOW when he took on the project to direct DIAL M FOR MURDER, based on the successful play by Frederick Knott. For the film, Hitchcock chose to cast his favorite leading lady of the time, Grace Kelly.
#4 is Rumble Fish directed by Francis Ford Coppola :
One of the most unknown Francis Ford coppola's movie, this is a movie you are likely to hate, unless you can love it for its crazy, feverish charm.Great performance of Mikey Rourke as "Motorcycle boy".
# 5 is "12 angry men" is a 1957 film directed by Sysney Lumet which tells the story of one lone juror who holds out against the other eleven members of the jury; he is not convinced that the defendant, a young Hispanic man, is guilty of murder.

Dialogues are tremendous, and the only thing you want to is sharing a piece of arguments with those 12 angry men ! Here is a sample :
uror #8(well interpreted by Henry Fonda): I just want to talk.
Juror #7: Well, what's there to talk about? Eleven men in here think he's guilty. No one had to think about it twice except you.
Juror #10: I want to to ask you something: do you believe his story?
Juror #8: I don't know whether I believe it or not - maybe I don't.
Juror #7: So how come you vote not guilty?
Juror #8: Well, there were eleven votes for guilty. It's not easy to raise my hand and send a boy off to die without talking about it first.
Juror #7: Well now, who says it's easy?
Juror #8: No one.
Juror #7: What, just because I voted fast? I honestly think the guy's guilty. Couldn't change my mind if you talked for a hundred years.
Juror #8: I'm not trying to change your mind. It's just that... we're talking about somebody's life here. We can't decide it in five minutes. Supposing we're wrong?
Juror #7: Supposing we're wrong! Supposing this whole building should fall down on my head. You can suppose anything!
Juror #8: That's right
