I would have to say The Great Escape, plus most other war movies

The best movies i have ever seen would be: Benny & Joon, Interview with the Vampire, Pirates of the Carribean, and the recent movie Cabin Fever. If you havn't seen either of them, Id really suggest them. Especially Cabin Fever with Rider Strong. It's probably the best scary movie in years.

I'll go with a list of genres, too, with some comments.

Drama: "Citizen Kane." A cliched choice, I know, but it's great.
Comedy: A very hard choice. Maybe "Duck Soup" as the best of the Marx Brothers.
Western: I don't see too many, so let's go with "Shane."
Historical: "Barry Lyndon" -- I felt like I was transported back in time
War: "All Quiet on the Western Front" -- still powerful.
Adventure: "Raiders of the Lost Ark" -- one of the best of the modern blockbusters.
Suspense: "Psycho" -- I would have called it "horror" but I'll limit that to films with some element of the supernatural.
Horror: "The Haunting" (original version, of course!)
Musical: Again, I don't see too many; let's pick "West Side Story."
Animated: "Yellow Submarine." Groovy, man!
Fantasy: "Brazil" (for lack of a better category in which to place this stunning film.)
Science Fiction: "2001: A Space Odyssey" -- my favorite film of all.

Horror - The Thing , Eraserhead , Evil Dead
Comedy - Young Frankenstein , Holy Grail , Monsieur Hulot's Holiday
Science Fiction - 2001 A Space Oddysee , Bladerunner
Western - Outlaw Josie Wale, Once Upon a Time in America , The Good the Bad and the Ugly
Others - American Beauty , Donnie Darko , LA Confidential ,Lord of the Rings/Twin Towers ,Matrix 1 and 2

The best movie I ever saw was probably Pirates Of The Caribbean. I saw it when it was in the cinemas and I'm not sure whether or not it's been released on dvd or video yet, but it was a truly funny, captivating and adevnturous movie. Johnny Depth was fantastic (and funny) in it, and the rest of the cast, however famous or unknown, were brilliant.
I also enjoyed the Scream trilogy. Though, I must say, number 3 didn't have as much suspense and killing in it compared to the other two, but it ended with an intigueing twist anyway.

Rocky Horror Picture Show!!! Tim Curry is So incredibly sexy as Dr. Frank'N'Furter!! He looks good in fishnets, makeup, and highheels!

Oh my gosh, moosey, I always thought the same thing about Tim Curry in Rocky! Every time I watch the scene of Dr. FrankNFurter's entrance, I get chills.

My favorite movie of all time is "The Piano" with Holly Hunter and Harvey Keitel.

have you ever been to Cosmos Factory? It's this really great Rocky site, with an even better Rocky forum! http://www.cosmosfactory.org/ theres cosmos Fac. and heres their forums http://www.rockycast.net/rockycast/YaBB.cgi?board=

My favorite movies are probably ANYTHING with John Ritter, who happens to be my favorite actor, his movies are such comedies.

Aww. I really liked Cherry Falls. I thought it was really good. Gory parts were good. The concept was good. I would have to add it to my list. I think that it just depends on the person watching I guess.

Oh, I forgot to add one more to my list. I think Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is an awesome movie. It is such a classic movie. I think it is one of the best western/good guys catch bad guys movie ever made.

I can't choose just one, so some of the best movies I've ever seen are:

Fight Club
American History X
Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas
Blow
Donnie Brasco
Reservoir Dogs
Pulp Fiction
A Clockwork Orange

I'll follow SkyValley, an obvious Johnny Depp fan (yay!), and I agree with all of those listed. But to add (and my taste in movies run around all over the place...)>>>

A Streetcar Named Desire
Cries And Whispers
American Beauty
Fargo
Tootsie
The Deerhunter
Nashville
The Last Picture Show
Dangerous Liaisons
The Stunt Man
Good Will Hunting
Secrets And Lies

(among others...)

Amadeus
The Usual Suspects
Goodfellas

I have just re read this whole thread, and no one has once mentioned what, for me and many others, is the Film of all Time:
On The Waterfront
It has been said that Brando's performance is an acting clinic. So many performances after it were full of the influence of his brilliance in this film. When I first saw it in the 50's I was so overawed I watched it every night for over a week. No acting has ever come close , in my opinion. It has been criticized for Kazan's direction as it is said that it is a vehicle for his remorse. But that is as nothing compared to the performance of Brando. Lee J Cobb , Karl Malden, Rod Steiger and Eve Marie Saint were all incredible. No modern movie comes close.

Three favs

1. GOODFELLAS by a mile
2. Shawshank Redemption just great acting by Robbins and Freeman
3. Black Hawk Down, just for its horrid consequences.

I like Heathers alot, I'm not sure if it's my favorite though.

Ok, have a few more. Johnny Depp!

Pirates of the Caribbean! seen it 33 times and know it by hear thehe
Once Upon a Time in Mexico
Ed Wood
Blow! All time fave Johnny movie
Benny & Joon
Sleepy Hollow
From Hell
Lost in La Mancha
Ninth Gate
Edward Scissorhands
Nick of Time
What's Eating Gilbert Grape
Chocolat

Ok, that's all I can think of right now.

My favorite movie of all time has got to be "Aliens". Hence the name AlienGoddess!

I do have other favorites, but I can't think of them right now!
