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.

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.

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

+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 Last edited by 450knotOffice; 12-24-2007 at 12:03 AM.. |

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...
