What's your alltime favorite movie?

[Chas]

The Seven Samurai (Shichinin no Samurai). Kurosawa. 'nuff said.

 

[Twit]

All time favourite is pretty difficult, but picking two is easy... La Haine, epic film; but probably my favourite ever, has to be Ferris Bueller's day off, utter genius! I can watch it over and over and it has me laughing every time.

 

[TCMfan25]

LOTR is in the mix aswell.

 

[The Edwardian]

It was Brazil for a number of years but currently it's There Will Be Blood.

 

[Gregg Axley]

Love Brazil....
A well thought out movie, even if many don't think so.
Of course the re-routing of the sewage hose on one of the workers was a bit alarming.

 

[DNO]

There are so many great movies I just have to post another one: Cool Hand Luke.

 

[AmateisGal]

Oh my. Favorite of ALL time???

It used to be Princess Bride. "Inconceivable!"

Now it's a toss-up between State Fair (the Dana Andrews version) and Laura.

Guess I have a thing for Dana Andrews.

 

[C44Antelope]

Impossible to narrow it down to just one. And my opinion might change tomorrow. Tonight, it's "The Bank Dick" Long Live Mahatma Kane Jeeves!

I'm a bit of a film lover. It might be It's a Wonderful Life for me. But there are still many others I want to see from the past, like The Big Sleep and Chinatown and also Casablanca (so please don't spoil them for me, ha). I also enjoy contemporary movies, but not all of them. Some are just too cheesy and/or lack substance. Some don't seem to think you need a great story for a great film.

There is something about Seabiscuit that draws me in time and again.

Cheers!

That's OK, I have a thing for Gene Tierney. Plus, Laura is my wife's name. A couple of years ago I downloaded about a dozen versions of that song for her birthday.

Seabiscuit is inspiring, plus some great hats in it!

 

[Rathdown]

I've several, but MRS MINIVER (1942, starring Greer Garson) is always in my top ten.

 

[Flipped Lid]

The Godfather, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Casablanca, The Untouchables, Shane, Patton.

It depends which day you ask.

 

[eldredbucknor]

My all time favorite movies are: Mission Impossible, The Mummy, Snake In The Eagle's Shadow, Gone In 60 Seconds, Speed, Fast Five and Final Destination 5.

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Jeese..there are so many to try and narrow down to just one.
In my early youth...it was 'The Old Man And The Sea'...the Disney classic 'So Dear To My heart'....'High Noon'...'Friendly Persuasion'...all shown in the 1950s style majestic movie theaters with balconies..glittering stars on the ceiling. Technicolor!
At a later age...'Gone With The Wind'...'Dr. Shivago',of course...'Jerimah Johnson'...' The Shootist'...'The GodFather I&II'..all movies that I can easily watch over and over again.

I lean towards westerns, my picks would be The Searchers or The Wild Bunch. All time non-western too many to name, Dirty Harry, Deliverance, Freebie and The Bean

It's weird, I'm a big movie fan - I'm even a screenwriter - and I'll happily watch anything put in front of me, but of all the genres, I never really got much out of westerns. Don't know why. Shame really, because there are some absolute gems out there.
