Five of any seems pretty good to me after trying to come up with two, but it's amazing how hard it is to choose even with five. Anyway, here it goes:

1. TNA. Have it and love it. Great for the quick three minute games playing with and against the wife (no long waits while the other is playing). Wife loves it too, so not messing with that.
2. BM66. A+ theme integration and deep code. Fun, light-hearted pin for the family.
3. TWD. Have played it on location and loved it. Not sure if it would be loved by the rest of the family though.

**gets tougher now . . almost impossible****
4. Medieval Madness. Fun pin for everyone and easier than AFM and between TNA/TWD I think I have enough tough pins.
5. Spider Man. Need a Ritchie pin I think and this one has a theme that will appeal to everyone in the family. Tough choice over ST and SW though, I could see changing my mind a lot on this one.

The biggest issue with this list for me is no JJP. All of the JJP pins appeal to me on some level and I'm sure I'd enjoy them but I'm pretty sure I don't want a wide body and DI's theme keeps it out of the top five for me. Wonka, on the other hand, might become a no-brainer top five for me (top 3? Top 1?).

I think I answered this before, but this is a nice comforting thread from a more innocent time so I'll do it again:

BM66 -- great theme integration, great code
TWD premium. hard game to balance my collection, great code.
Star Trek Pro -- a super flowy Ritchie game. Star Wars almost slipped in this spot.
JP2 -- Hard Elwin game.
LOTR -- long playing adventure. The Hobbit came a close second here.

stern fanboy I guess. This list changes all the bloody time of course. I could come up with three completely different lists of five and the difference in desirability between them would be negligible.

I'm sure I've posted in this before but I'm going to do it again without looking at my earlier entry(ies):

1. BM66 -- Have owned for three years now and still love it.
2. Godzilla -- love the theme and seems like the perfect Elwin game for me.
3. EHOH -- love lyman games and campy movies.
4. MM -- choose over AFM because I'm not very good and this seems to be the easier pin.
5. TWD -- Tough lyman game.

Too many honorable mentions.
