What's your favorite movie ever?

My favorite movies are V For Vendetta, Titanic and City of Angels. Have you seen V? If not than it is a must see. The plot is great and the work done on the plot is superb.

I love his style.

Some of my other favorites are Lost in Translation, American Beauty, and Requiem for a Dream.

[BKenn01]

Pretty much everything Steven and Michael listed. But I have to add Support your local Sherrif, Jaws, Night of the Living Dead, Underworld (only because of Kate) Serendipty (Kate again) Planet of the Apes (the original), The Omega Man, Soilent Green, The Ghost and Mr. Chicken, Dawn of the Dead (the original), Halloween and Halloween 2 (the original) Friday the 13th part 1, The Patriot, Braveheart, Terminator, Die Hard, Shawshank Redemption, Sergeant York and I actually liked the new Star Trek movie.

[acrasial]

Kung Fu Panda has so many messages hidden inside, as well as the obvious messages. Although it's a cartoon, it's shockingly correct on so many levels... and I wonder why so many people stop watching animation movies, because they often make more sense and have more lessons than real movies!

[dandimit]

How terrible is this? I don't have a fav...Infact, I can only think of a handful that I would even watch a second time:

Good Will Hunting
Dead Poets Society
Crap I've run out already...can someone give me some suggestions?

[digga45]

Raiders of the Lost Ark

[fypnlp]

In no order:

scarface
godfather
godfather 2
some like it hot

[whateverpedia]

In no particular order;

- The Lord Of The Rings (the whole lot - extended versions - Technical note: TLOTR is not a trilogy, it is one story. The Godfather and The Omen are trilogies. So is the Bourne series until they make another one. And yes, I first read TLOTR back in 1978, and have read it many times since then, a few of those after the movies came out.)

- The above mentioned Bourne Trilogy

- Good Will Hunting

- Citizen Kane - years ahead of it's time

- War Of The Worlds (the original - still the only film to give me nightmares when I first saw it at 9 or 10 yo)

- One Flew Over The Cockoos Nest - Nicholson at his best

- On The Waterfront - Brando at his best

- Monty Python And The Holy Grail - comedy at its best, "We've found a witch, may we burn her" - classic stuff

- Airplane (would be the funniest film ever if not for MP&THGrail: Trivia fans please note this film and its sequel were called "Flying High" in Australia for some reason)

- Apocalypse Now - "Some day this war's gonna end. Sigh.", "I love the smell of napalm in the morning", "Inside the heart of every man there is a conflict between good and evil, and good does not always win.", "Terminate. With extreme prejudice".
Some of the most memorable lines ever committed to film. And who can listen to Wagner's "The Ride Of The Valkyrie" without thinking of helicopters after this film came out.

- Schindlers List - Lest we forget

- The Sexy Beast - Ben Kingsley is nothing short of brilliant in this, whether you like the movie or not, you WILL be blown away by his performance.

- Sleuth - A murder whodunnit with only 2 suspects played by Michael Caine and Larry Olivier. In fact they are the only two characters in the film. Despite this you will be kept guessing right up until the end which one of them committed the murder. Both give brilliant performances as well.

- The Castle - a true family values flick with a bit of David v Goliath thrown in. Best Aussiie film ever.

- Thirteen Days - for me this is more of a personal film as I was actually born on the 14th day, or if you like the day after the Cuban Missile Crisis ended. If things had not gone the way they did, I could have been born on the day the world ended. There's a cheery thought. After that we need some light relief, so...

- When Harry Met Sally - the only romantic comedy worth watching

- Team America - the third funniest film ever. "Have you ever seen a grown man eat his own head", It also has the best view of politics ever by the guy in the bar, "See son, there are three types of people in the world, d---s, p-----s and a------s". Hilarious.

[madison_avenue]

Bridge Over the River Kwai - Alec Guiness , Jack Hawkins brilliant. The best war movie ever.

The Great Escape - true story.

Empire Of The sun - Christian Bale

Goodfellas - Joe Pesci: "Do I amuse you?" , " Come on tell me! , what's so funny about me?

Unforgiven - Clint Eastwood

Pale Rider "

Dirty Harry "

Richard III - Lawrence Olivier, with the best portrayal of evil I've see.

The Italian job - the original one with Michael Caine.

Planet of the Apes - first one with Charlton Heston

2001 A Space Oddessy

Jurassic Park - Number 1

[Marcel Hartmann]

Perfume. It's a weird/amazing movie...

I watch Paranormal activity online yesterday and from now on it is my favorite horror movie

OMG those were the exact movies I was going to say.

[cherry enders]

I would highly recommend Grandma's Boy

[Kenster]

For some reason ive seen MAN ON FIRE like 15 times and still love it

[thenewevilisgood]

Uh, Austin Powers, the trilogy :P

[James Foster]

I see a lack of Pulp Fiction votes on this page... That's my vote.

[TheRookie]

Huh, with all the different genres there isn't just one. I like Batman Begins for the hero comic type. The game with Michael Douglas for suspense. All the terminators for action. Thats probably a good start.

[bascilikapeter]

TITANIC
SAW
APOCALYPTO

[TheBeatles]

The Departed
Goodfellas

[Shanoa35]

Moulin Rouge
And the ost is also classic

[HelpMe2HelpYou]

THE SHINING!!! Don't you all agree that Jack Nicholson is superb in this movie! Speaking of Jack, Mars Attacks! is fun, but corny. Dressing up like one of the martians tonight for Halloween!

[vashie]

Am I the only one here who thought that Curious Case of Benjamin Button was nothing short of brilliant?

I walked away from the theater thinking about that movie for weeks -- one of the only movies that has even had that effect on me.

[warriordave]

Hey, i think KILL BILL is one of the best! haha, another one is Lord of the Ring and i think Batman is pretty good. I'm more action movie kinda person.

[DanStrobel]

The Outlaw Josey Wales(Any Clint Eastwood flicks),The Wild Bunch, High Noon(w/Gary Cooper), 3:10 to Yuma(both Versions), Lonesome Dove, True Grit, North to Alaska(most of John Waynes flicks), Once Upon Time In the West, Shane, Jerimiah Johnson, Open Range, Into the Badlands, Sacketts, (most of Sam Elliot & Tom Selleck's flicks), quite a few Westerns, Easy Rider, Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, Stone Cold, Usual Supects, Kung Fu, Pulp Fiction, The Patriot(most of Mel Gibson's), the Departed, Sin City, Dances With Wolves, Man On Fire(most of Denzel Washington's), (Steven Seagal's), Kill Bill's, Reservoir Dogs, The Big Country(Burl Ives' character has some of the Greatest Lines in this 1958 flick) more later.

[Caprik]

My most favorite movie is "The Dark Knight" i found it best movie in ever movies of this stuff.

[GlobalTrader]

Two Harrison Ford movies:

Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade
Witness

[occdoc]

Shawshank Redemption for me.

[MagicShovels]

Collateral
Magnolia

[lcombs]

I have to agree with all of Steven's sci-Fi.
I would have to add Close Encounters.
Gorgo??? I thought I was the only person who'd ever seen it, let alone liked it.

The Shootist

7 Year Itch

Bride Of Frankenstein

Young Frankenstein

[Shaleniie Devi]

Titanic...after 12 years and countless watches, I still cannot stop myself from a broken heart and tears when Rose goes "Jack...Jack..." *cries*

Nayagan - it's an Indian godfather flick...loosely based on a real life don

Kill Bill Vol 1. - Fabulous

River Dogs - great ending

and oh plenty more but I'll end it here. The thing is a movie can be crap for 3/4s of the duration BUT if the ending is great, I will consider it a well made movie. Vice versa.

I'm big on endings I don't know why, it makes or breaks a movie for me

[steveblum]

The Pianist - if you've never seen it you have to watch it - a very powerful movie based on actual events.

[Patrician]

I love the Pianist and had to buy a copy after seeing it. I am a total Adrian Brody fan after that.

I always answer 'Wuthering Heights' any version when asked this question but tonight I watched 'Vertigo' on Turner Classics for probably the 10th time (also have the video) and I have to say that it still totally enthralls me. It is one of Hitchcock's finest movies ever IMHO -- and that is saying a lot since they are all so good.

Also 'The Green Mile' (Stephen King) with Tom Hanks is a really fine movie that I watch every time I see it on cable. I would like to buy the video. It is a really beautiful but sad horror movie.

[eshera]

Have not seen anything worth a spit lately, but these are always great for another evening: (in no order)

• Raider of the Lost Ark
• Aliens
• Shindler's List
• The Usual Suspects
• Citizen Kane
• The Matrix
• Gladiator
• Taxi Driver

[christftw]

21, Forest Gump, Hitchcock. I rarely watch movies (I don't go out and see the new ones when they come out in theaters, usually it's us ordering one on demand or at a friend's house), but I've seen some really good ones. Problem is, I forget about them lol. The three I mentioned are some of my favs though.

Oh man, I just remembered one that was absolutely amazing. Title... title... title... I'll edit later when (if) I figure it out.

[SouthamptonAngel]

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

If you've never seen it then you really should take a look. Wonderful directing from Leone in this film.
