[lawaughn]

Well, I started the Worst Movie of all Time so I decided why not go in the opposite direction.

What are some of ur favorite movies? I'll start it off.

Matrix- a great and unique movie all around
Matrix II- the best fight scenes ever
Matrix III- actually this one because it didn't give me what I thought it would

Dances with Wolves- the wolf made it touching

Transporter- another different movie that wasn't widely seen

[SnowTrooper]

Ray
Remember the Titans
Men of Honor
Batman Begins
Jackass the Movie(funniest movie of all time)

[JohnPopa]

Glengarry Glen Ross.

[Phoney Bone]

Jaws- the shark still makes me jump

Arsenic and Old Lace- Carey Grant and Peter Lorre's best comedic performances.

Casablanca

Jason and the Argonauts- Ray Harryhausen's "Citizen Kane"

Anything from the Thin Man series

and...

GODZILLA VS. MEGALON!!!

There are many possibilities like Manhattan, the Moderns, Prosperos's Books, Casablanca, What's Up Doc?, Parting Glances, the Boys in the Band, and the Hanging Garden, but I think I have to go with

2001: a Space Odyssey!

This film never gets boring. The SFX still awe. The story continues to inspire and push me.

[Tony Bang]

Out of The Past (1948)
The Spy Who Came in from the Cold
Freaks
Serenity
Blade Runner

[Tages]

Out of The Past (1948)
If I extended the list to my twenty favorites, this would definitely be on it, along with "Night of the Hunter." Robert Mitchum is one bad mofo.

[G. Wayne]

Check the link in my signature, with a late addition of Serenity. I'll fully admit though that my favorite movie's are far from all-time greats or classics.

[lawaughn]

I forgot about all of the Die Hard movies. I can watch them all day. I once gave Bruce Willils a pedicure he was really cool.

[Gamma Charge]

Mutiny on the Bounty(original)
Wings of Desire
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Nightmare Before Christmas
Batman Begins

[Sanagi]

I can never decide between Ikiru, Spirited Away, and Grave of the Fireflies.

[Crimson Avenger]

[GremlinClr]

LA Confidential
A Fish Called Wanda
LotR Trilogy (EE)
The Incredibles
Spirited Away


That's all I can think of right now.

[Greg Hatcher]

This is really hard... reading over others people have listed here reminded me of a bunch. Best I can narrow it down to is five, and even that fluctuates a little. But right now I'm going with these --

The Maltese Falcon
The Incredibles
A Few Good Men
The Quick And The Dead (the one with Sam Elliott, not the one with Sharon Stone)
Dracula with Louis Jourdan and Frank Finlay

Those would be the 'good' movies. There are also these not-so-good movies, which I nevertheless adore unreservedly and will watch at a moment's notice, start to finish.

Road House
The Warriors
The Sword And The Sorcerer
Planet Earth made-for-TV SF pilot from Gene Roddenberry
Dr. Strange the 1970's made-for-TV movie

I suppose it says something about me that I sought out the second five on home video a lot sooner than the first five. Although I have them all on DVD now except The Warriors, and I think that anniversary edition will be arriving on my birthday in a couple of weeks.

[Pól Rua]

For years, this was an impossible question to answer. I liked so many movies for so many reasons, and I've always found it difficult to narrow things down to a single favourite... whatever, movie, comic series, television show, song...
However, one movie made me re-assess that, and it is now my favourite film ever. That film is the Coen Brothers' 'Miller's Crossing'.

[traxler]

Miller's Crossing certainly comes very high on the list;
as do Double Indemnity
and Rear Window.
I'll stop there.

[DonC]

Do I really even have to answer this one?
