Out of all the great movies I've seen, I think I would pick "PREDATOR." It's one movie I didn't mind seeing more than once.

Which movie?

If you havent, read James Joyce's novel. Bleaker than either the 1960's propoganda piece, or the recent remake of the 1960s propoganda piece, as I recall.

The Shining

Citizen Kane

I've probably seen it 10 times and find something new to love in it every time.

From a purely sentimental standpoint, probably Cinema Paradiso

Casablanca.

Godfather second. Sorry could not resist.

Single greatest acting moment: On the waterfront - Brando!!

Kung Fu Hustle

Has everything. Most creative flick I've ever seen. Always finding new bits and angles in it.

+1 on Empire Strikes Back...hummm....or Last of the Mohicans...or Braveheart...hummmmmm...Caddyshack...no stike all that. F the nay sayers, the movie that last spoke to me was Crash. I'm a sucker for good soundtracks...even though it was all in some ME language and I have no clue what the lyrics were...it was awesome.

My sentimental favorite..."Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" with John Candy and Steve Martin. It makes me laugh every time I see it (which is once a year around Thanksgiving).


These are really my favorites, in a more serious sense:

Dances with Wolves
Schindler's List
Pulp Fiction
Forrest Gump
Castaway
Saving Private Ryan
Traffic
Crash

Amazing cast; Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones, Danny Glover, Diane Lane, Robert Urich, Anjelica Huston.

Great movie, I taped it and play it back frequently.

OK, since you said "Favorite" and not what we thought was the "best" movie...

I almost want to say Star Wars. Before it came out, there simply was NOTHING like it & it had a HUGE impact on me, well on EVERYONE.


-But I'd absolutely have to go with The Good, The Bad & The Ugly. (personally I see all the Clint Eastwood westerns as different chapters in the same BIG movie.. I love 'em all)

Just thinking of that movie brings back so many GREAT memories of being a kid and playing with my friends or Dad...
