Hard to say which would be the 5 most personally meaningful movies for me. Some good candidates:
Bambi -- remarkably I didn't actually see this until 1990.
Planet of the Apes -- get your stinking paws off my you damn dirty ape!
Flight of the Navigator -- dopey movie... coolest spaceship ever on film.
Contact -- for Carl
I Robot -- A lot of people knocked this movie for not following the book but if you've read Asimov's stories you'll see this movie really retains a lot of the spirit of Asimov's work .. except with more things blowing up.
More favorite movies: - 5000 Fingers of Dr. T - Forbidden Planet - War of the Worlds (1953) - TRON
The real trick for me is finding personally meaningful movies that AREN'T science fiction and AREN'T animated. Some candidates: - 12 Angry Men (1957) - Das Boot - Birdy (1984) - Momento
