The Obligatory Top Five Lists!

I might as well log my favorites, the best of the best in my books if you will. I pick only five in each because to be honest, I find it far easier to instinctively pick a smaller amount. The ones I have chosen I am very confident in, as well as their place in order. If I were to choose ten, then by the time I reached number six or seven I would begin second guessing and what not. Also for each Top Five selection I have included my top three favorite films/roles for each.

So, for no apparent reason, I give you my top five...
