I would like to hear more. I will give you a few of mine.
The Professional
The Limey
Shrek
My Man Godfrey (ancient)
Adventures of Pricillia Queen of the Desert
Raise the Red Lantern
Mad Max
Just a few

I agree about Pricilla Queen of the Desert that was a very funny film I also love watching Psycho, The Birds, Anita and Me, Ten things I hate about you, Trainspotting, Lake Placid and Sleeping with the Enemy. There are more that I could mention because I watch so many films but I can't think of anymore right now.

I'm browsing this thread and I'm seeing a lot of "Fight Club", yeah, it's one of the best that I've seen. Brad Pitt, I gotta say is the man. He's always being blasted for being a "pretty boy", (he is pretty aint he?), but, he is also funny as hell. The first rule of Fight Club is...to watch it every chance you get. "The Godfather Trilogy", lots of people say that they didn't like III but, I liked it a lot. The scene at the end when Michael discovers his daughter is the one who got shot, is one of the saddest I''ve seen. I also think that "Full Metal Jacket", Apocalypse Now, and Platoon are the best war movies. Also I'm crazy for "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", Johnny Depp and Benecio del Toro are totally out of order in that one, I did some serious laughing at that one. Also "12 Monkeys" and "Se7en", maybe there is something to Brad Pitt after all.
"...the ability to let that which does not matter truly slide".
"Fight Club"

I don’t think this is my favorite movie, but I saw a great movie this morning called “I’ll Wave Back.”

It is one of those movies that send you on an emotional roller coaster.

Most of the acting was great but the thing I liked most is that it didn’t have one of those predictable everything is perfectly goody-goody endings.

I loved it.

Can't believe I still haven't seen Fight Club yet. I'll have to rent it this weekend. I can't say the best movie overall. I have to go by genre.

This question is way too hard to answer for me. I might have a better chance if you asked "Best Horro Movie" or "Best Classic" or "Best Romantic Comedy..."

I have quite a few favorite movies. In no particular order:

Apollo 13 - Ron Howard went to great pains to get the details accurate in this ultimate survival drama. He didn't get it all right (the swing arms in the launch sequence come to mind immediately), but the storyline and the acting are outstanding.

Dr. Strangelove: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying And Love the Bomb - Stanley Kubrick's classic black comedy about a deranged general who tries to wipe out the Russians. Classic performances by Peter Sellers and George C. Scott.

Fail Safe - Too often overshawdowed by Dr. Stranglove, Fail Safe was in its own right an excellent movie. Ultimately, there will be a quiz in Quizzyland on this movie from yours truly.

Forrest Gump - At once corny and frustrating, it is indeed a heartwarming story of a simple man who doesn't know the meaning of the word quit. Tom Hanks's second-best performance.

Philadelphia - Tom Hanks's best performance, complemented perfectly by fabulous turns by Denzel Washington and Antonio Banderas. A true tour de force for all involved.

The Green Mile - Hanks is solid here, but it is Michael Clarke Duncan and Mr. Jinks who steal the show. This movie is a celebration of a tortured human spirit.

Scary Movie - A wonderful parody of horror movies of the past, this movie never takes itself or the movie it spoofs seriously.

I'm an avid movie goer. Some oldies that come to mind as favourites are Kings Row (really old) which co starred Ronald Reagan and Anne Sheridan; Charlie about a mentally handicapped man who became a genius after experimental treatment, only to return to his original state; and the musical Oklahoma. And right up there with the oldies - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. What a great coupling of two great actors. Best scene and dialogue, where they jumped off the cliff.
Foreign Films - Burnt by the sun, beautifully atmospheric and visually stunning, My Life as a Dog and Kolya.
British films - Waking Ned Devine, Brassed Off and The Full Monty
Australian films - Priscilla Queen of the Desert,
Most favourite film to date would have to be the Shawshank Redemption. Next Beautiful Mind, Seven and Philadelphia.
I know I will think of more but thats all for now.

Without a doubt, my favourite movie of all time is Whatever Happened to Baby Jane - Joan Crawford and Bette Davis are fantastic trying to outdo each other.
Sunset Boulevard would have to come a very close second though. Strangely ironic casting of Gloria Swanson, and it's very touching when one of her old movies is playing in the background. The original version of Psycho is another movie that I never tire of. There seems to be a black-and-white theme emerging here!
I guess that the only movie that has really impressed me recently is 8 Women, a French comedy musical murder mystery. Very strange combination, but it works. Absolutely brilliant.

This is a toughie- I would say that my favorite is Apollo 13. A close second is The Mummy with Brendan Fraser- the characters are wonderful!

My top favorite films include "Walking Tall", "Annie Hall",
and "Donnie Darko". I liked the message of "Walking Tall" and think they had a top notch cast of mostly character actors/actresses. "Annie Hall" is beautiful & sad, the beginning of my love of romantic comedies. I saw a lot of myself in the character of "Donnie Darko" which has never happened to me via a movie.

The one that I`ve found most watchable would be Gattaca, and anything by Kubrick is watchable for me.Babettes Feast,The Last Emperor and Stalingrad I also enjoyed greatly along with Luminescent Moss.

Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion all the way!

Gotta say, I was madly in love with "The Mummy" for an insane amount of time. I would watch it practically every day. I don't watch it as much but I can still quote it almost line for line. Another good movie is "Splendor In The Grass" starring Warren Beatty and NATALIE WOOD!!! Has anyone seen it?

I am so with you SillyLily! My roommate and I both LOVE The Mummy and we don't know why (I assume you are talking about the Brendan Fraser version)!
Although, I really don't know what my favorite movie of all time is. That's an impossible question to answer.

I like some equally:

Harry Potter 2
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
The Mummy Returns & The Mummy

I really enjoyed It Happened One Night with Clark Gable. It was one of the "Essentials" on the TCM channel,and I decided to watch it. I'm glad I did. It was so cute and funny. I've never laughed that hard at a movie that old...and the lead actress was great,too. Unfortunately, I can't remember her name. I think it might've been Claudette Colbert. Anyway,if you haven't seen it you should check it out!

Magnolia.

I can't help being unoriginal but....

Pirates of the Caribbean
and
Lord of the Rings

I can't help being unoriginal but...they're great films!!!

The best movie, I've ever seen was "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"

Long answer: a discussion lasting some two hours.

Short answer: One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
