Whats Your Best Movie Ever
There is another thread asking whats your favourite funny movie, but how about just favourite.
Any genre. A film you would watch again and again, a film you would recommend to others, a film that moves you.
My choice is below, I know its very very over the top and I will no doubt get mocked but I still think its great. Any time I feel depressed I watch it, its a guaranteed feel good movie. Very emotional as well (in other words I do cry at the end, can't help it)
"Its A Wonderful Life" with James Stewart

The film is suppose to be a critique of Nihlism (refer to audio commentary on Fight Club DVD).
Oh, and my favourite film is Donnie Darko.

So far my best movie is a documentary called Kick Ass Cake: The Veronica Story, but there are projects and work I've done on other's projects that when I make another it will be signifigantly better. No Sleep till Sacramento wasn't bad, but I always feel uneasy when I'm working with something that people aren't supposed to laugh at.
oh, you didn't mean movies I made.....
uh....Salesman, The Bicycle Thief shut up, I know it's pretentious, but it's also really freakin' good, mostly I brush this conversation off with the auteurs (if you subscribe to that theory) that I like: Terry Gilliam, Stanley Kubrick, etc...
Movies I'll watch no matter what that I'm not happy about it:
Megaforce, The Wraith, and Gymkata. (the last of which blessedly never comes up...

I love that movie... It used to make me cry when they took the boy away from the Roman king...

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was not only the God of all books but the God of all movies.

Artificial Intelligence
Casino
The Empire of the Sun (Best of the three)
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Snatch, Band of Brothers (HBO series), Silence of the Lambs, Se7en, and any Bruce Lee movie.
Shawshank was a good film but not number one for me. Same for Godfather, good but not number one for me.
And I prefer Jackie Chan movies, especially "Miracles".
Still has to be "Its A Wonderful Life", as soon as I hear the words Merry Christmas Movie House, Merry Christmas Savings & Loan...I start to well up cos I know whats coming. No man is a failure who has friends!
