Great list. I hate to be cliche, but I went with The Shawshank Redemption. One of my top five films of all time, too. I also love Life of Brian and Blazing Saddles too.

I'm going to go ahead and be controversial and say that I think The Shawshank Redemption is overrated. Yes I said it. It's always seemed pretentious to me, but I'm pretty sure I'm alone there. So out of this list I'm going with Life of Brian.

I am of the opinion that Wayne's World 2 is about one-fifth as good as its predecessor. Had you picked WW1, I probably woulda voted for it. As it stands, though, I'll rack up the vote for Life of Brian

Sleuth is far too good a film not to have any votes so I voted for that (I'm assuming it's the great Caine-Olivier original not the inferior remake with Jude Law).
Life of Brian is good but over-rated IMO - Holy Grail is much funnier.

Sleuth for me. The original that is and not the inferior Michael Caine and Jude Law re-make.

Went with Life of Brian. No Mel Brooks fans here it seems.

Shawshank from this list. I thought the Fifth Element was really bad...

Had it been Wayne's World I I would've most certainly chose it. Now I don't know what to do.

I love Shawshank Redemption, it's maybe one of my favorite movies, and I love Morgan Freeman he's such a great actor.

I guess The Fifth Element. Quirky, unique sci-fi.
