Top Fives

What are your top fives? Today I had an interesting conversation with some students who make top five lists for everything. They had a wide variety of lists. Everything from top five movie trilogies (Star Wars doesn't count anymore), to top five sit-coms, to top five SUV's, etc. I don't think top five lists have to be in any particular order.

Some of my top fives are:

Top five movies:

1. Raiders of the Lost Ark
2. Fight Club
3. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
4. Star Wars
5. Apocalypse Now
(Dead Poets Society comes in a very close 6th)

Of course movies could be broken up into genres.

Top five musical groups:

1. U2
2. Chevelle
3. Pink Floyd
4. AC/DC
5. Outkast

Music could be broken into genres, too.

Remember, these are in no particular order. These are also open to change.

Listing away your life is probably not the best idea, but it passes the time.

What are some of your top fives? Movies? Rappers? Rockers? Plays? Books? Cars?

what do you teach? I always enjoy meeting other teachers.

My aunt (a lit professor) and I play this game as well, things like "top five favorite pairs of shoes you own" or, "Top five power ballads".
