American History X...

Great movie.

The Day After Tomorrow
Finding Nemo
Shrek 1 & 2
Volcano
Deep Impact
Rush Hour 1 & 2
Johnny English

etc etc.

Mine would have to be Monty Python and the Quest for The Holy Grail, but Chronicles of Riddick is good just for great action scenes (plot consists of: See Riddick, See Badguys, See Riddick kill badguys.)

nah, old school disney movies rock.The ones where the mom dies and the villain is either defenestrated or otherwise plummets to his/her death. Yeah.

I'd go with The Rocky Horror Picture Show if we're talking about in a theatre, or any Chris Guest mockumentary at home.

UHF!!!
"...Today, we'll be making plutonium from common household items..." (the DVD has an outtake scene of this, too!)

I don't have "a" favorite, but I do have favorites from different categories. Here we go:

Adventure- TIE: The Indiana Jones trilogy, The Adventures of Robin Hood

Musical- TIE: Singin' in the Rain, The Music Man (with Robert Preston, not
the crappy Matthew Broderick remake), and West Side Story

Comedy- TIE: Breakfast Club (in the video store it was in the 'comedy' section), Planes Trains and Automobiles, Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Horror- TIE: Night of the Living Dead (the original), Jaws, Psycho (the original, of course), and The Stepfather

Sci/Fi- Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan

Fantasy- The original Star Wars trilogy (not the 'special edition')

Family- The Adventures of Milo and Otis

Animated- TIE: 101 Dalmations, Robin Hood, Lion King, Jungle Book, Aristocats, Lilo and Stitch, etc...there are too many to name!

War- We Were Soldiers

Drama- TIE: It's a Wonderful Life, The Pianist

Action- Midnight Run

Suspense- Shoot to Kill

All-around-favorite-movie- Jurassic Park (I've loved it since I was a kid)

Wait, there's one major one I'm forgetting: Amadeus.

Well right now I am kind of liking The Lord of the Rings series.

But I am also a fan of the old stuff.

Casablanca, Sabrina, The Thin man series, the philidelphia story, topper, etc.

You all have great taste in movies!

Donnie Darko and Fight Club are the greatest movies of all time!
Of course that's just my opinion... WHO ELSE'S WOULD IT BE???

Volcano
Deep Impact
Rush Hour 1 & 2
Johnny English

Holy crap, man. Donnie Darko. Best movie EVER.

I'm trying to get friends to see the director's cut when it comes out on the 23 in theaters.
Really? A director's cut out in the theaters? Interesting.


That movies definitely in my top 5. That's where I realized my love of Jena Malone.

I'm going to have to go with Return of the King as my favorite. I just love fantasy movies. And I love all Jim Carrey movies and his most recent was his best movie yet, not the best comedy, but his best movie. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. And my other favorites of his are Me, Myself and Irene, The Truman Show, and the Ace Ventura movies. I'm sure there are others that I'm omitting.

Depends on my mood, but here's a partial list.

The Princess Bride
Dogma
Godfather 1 and 2
The Manchurian Candidate--the original with Sinatra, although I'm intrigued about the remake that's about to open.
Much Ado About Nothing
Highlander--I know it's not a particularly "good" film, but I love it just the same.
Sleeping Beauty--Maleficent is still one of the most terrifying villians I've ever come across.
The Lord of the Rings as a trilogy, all in one piece of filmmaking is awe-inspiring. Separately, they lose something.
Holy Grail and Life of Brian from Monty Python
From documentary, The Fog of War. Most people who know me probably expected F9/11 from that category, but I think The Fog of War is the superior film all the way around. F9/11 is more of a gut punch, however.

The Wall, or Clockwork Orange.

Oh....and Dogma, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back....thanks for reminding me (sorta) Incertonia

Oh....and Dogma, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back....thanks for reminding me (sorta) IncertoniaDe nada. I've got all Smith's films on dvd--well, except Jersey Girl, which I have yet to see. I also have the Clerks animated series, and my very own Silent Bob action figure, complete with voice chip that has nothing on it.

Fantasy- The original Star Wars trilogy (not the 'special edition')


Erm, SW beeing fantasy?

<sarcasm>

Yu-Gi-Oh: The Movie (Because Pokemon: The Movie set an attainable record of flaming fagness and Yu-Gi-Oh looks to set an unattainably high level of anti-heterosexualness).
It isn't out yet, but I think it comes out in August and I just know I'll love it.

</sarcasm>

we have a lot in common we should date...lol

HAHAHAHAHAHA. you think so? just disaster films. everybody should love disaster films!!

Fight club
Stickmen

Subtitles: Mercano the martian

My top three are

It sounds really stupid, but I can't actually remember the name of my favourite film...I think it was cruel intentions or something like that.

Black Hawk Down.

My favorite movie is Pacman- if it's ever made!

Donnie Darko, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, The Breakfast Club, Philidelphia, Magnolia, and Jerry Maguire

I have watched that one at least 50 times

I forgot Footloose.

all time favorite so far is: Ghost In The Shell

Saving Private Ryan
The Godfather(s)
Fight club
Bowling for Columbine

for crying out loud how hard is it to pic just one favorite movie

:eek: me too

I also like Passion of the Christ, that is perhaps my favourite movie.

For the 100th time: Donnie Darko
Mulholland Dr. (Anything David Lynch) (And most things Naomi Watts -except the Ring, what the hell was she thinking)
Triplets of Belville
Memento
21 Grams
Office Space
Eternal Sunshin of the Spotless Mind
Talk to Her
Gone With the Wind

Singin' in the Rain, Amadeus, It's a Wonderful Life, etc... :p

Sleeping Beauty and Half Baked

Gone in Sixty Seconds
The Godfather
Titanic

Star Wars (the original trilogy)

Pirates of the Caribbean

Gone in Sixty Seconds

I think those are my top three...well, actually, that would be my top five...well, those would be the five I can think of right now...

Oh and,

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark

Yeah!

Hard to pick my favorite. But for rewatching I have weakness for musicals, even the best movie gets boring after a while, so it's either The Meaning of Life or A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum.

I love to many films to list here, so instead I'll go for my favourite obscure and wonderful film which is a short by Jan Svankmajer called 'Down to the Cellar' - anyone else here watch random arthouse movies?

la strada, the gold rush, the princess bride, time bandits, the philadelphia story, LotR 1,2,3

all bunched up in the #1 spot

I like "The Titans", "Hardball", and "Glory".

I also like Passion of the Christ, that is perhaps my favourite movie.

That was well made, but not as well made as it could have been.

Pulp Fiction. Without a doubt.

Donnie Darko
Kill Bill (Vol 1 and 2)
