LOL. When I saw it for the first time, I regretted the fact that I wasn't 9. When I was 9, I'd have loved that movie... partly because I was pretty stupid at 9, and partly because 17 years ago, I wouldn't have been on a message board where everyone and their mother hyped the movie up as the "best movie ever." It wasn't bad... but oh my God was it a disappointment.

Boondock Saints

Just a 'cult classic' in my mind. Nobody ever really heard of it because its theatre release was cancelled due to the columbine shootings happening that week. I dunno though.. just a good movie with lots of memorable parts. Good acting, good soundtrack, and I can watch it like 5 times in a row without getting sick of it.

American Beauty. It was the first movie I saw that almost made me cry. Great performances, great dialogue.

Shawshank Redemption

Amazing movie. I first watched it when I was about 12 years old and it was one of the first dramas that I really enjoyed (at 12, I mostly watched action movies or comedies) and even now, if I am flipping through the channels and it happens to be on, more often than not, I'll stop and watch the rest of the movie. Morgan Freeman is the man. Greatest narrative voice ever.

Agreed. I love that movie! Lately it's been on almost every weekend on TV, and I've watched it every time. To me, it'll never get old.

A Clockwork Orange because I can watch it over and over and love it each time like it's the first time I'm watching it. It is the most perfectly made movie ever. It is such a mindfuck too. Just the atmosphere it sets and the music it uses, and the overall weirdness of the movie. Plus I have never seen another movie that is anything like it. It is just such a bizarre movie. I LOVE IT.

Kung Pow... because I can't in good faith watch any movie that isn't a comedy more than once, and the more times I can watch a comedy and still laugh, the better. So this wins. I would have to think long and hard for what I thought was my favorite "serious" movie was, I guess... love lots of them.

Casablanca.

It's pretty much perfect. It's so well-written, well-directed, and well-acted that I could watch it daily and not get tired of it. Plus, it's so intricately layered, I notice something new almost every time I see it.

The Elephant Man. Simply a wonderful picture involving some of the best in the industry. It's a movie that will make you feel a wide variety of emotions while watching it. Just a perfect movie although very depressing.

Other notable ones inclue American Beauty and Clockwork Orange. The first time I saw American Beauty I was simply blown away. It had a deep effect on me, however upon rewatching it I realize it can never be the same as the first time I saw it. If I was only able to remember stuff for a 24 hour time span I'd watch American Beauty every day.

It didn't have the same effect because you realized it wasn't as deep as you first thought?

Donnie Darko is a movie I can watch over and over, because I keep noticing little things I didn't notice the first time. Plus it's just a fun movie.

As far as favorite movie, probably Seven Samurai. Great acting, choreographing, camera angles, everything was so well done for a three hour 1950's Japan movie that it's scary.

Well one would think you'd pick something more prominent, such as "do the right thing," which was quite possibly Danny Aiello's greatest work as an actor.

It is a good movie, but just because the man is related doesn't mean he has to be my favorite actor.

He IS in Part II though.

The Good The Bad and The Ugly.

The story plots that run through it, the way they many of them come together. The way others don't, in the end, have anything to do with the story. It's easily my favourite movie.

adaptation. it's one of those movies which makes you think but it's one you can actually follow and isn't filled with bullshit that really makes no sense but people cream over it because they're stupid and want to appear smart.

seems like there are 4-5 times during the film when you have to ask questions as to where the film is and what's happening at that exact moment and the level of truth currently involved. stunning.

I'm really digging on Rushmore right now. I just love all the little comedic moments in it. It's down to either that or 25th Hour for me. 25th Hour has so many good camera movements, and the dialogue is so good. Spike Lee is such a great director.

I dunno. I find it to be underrated, simply because most people (around here) don't know about it. I had never even heard of it until a year ago. (I think about a year ago)

I don't think it's 'deep' or anything or has some deeper meaning behind every scene. I just think it's the most entertaining movie out there. I can watch it over and over without getting tired of it. I like the way Troy Duffy did it too..

Well I can see "why" people like it, but then I don't agree with it... I mean, it's like a high school junior's version of a sweet action flick. Pretty good, but I wouldn't even watch it again except to let someone else see it... cause I know it's a lot of people's "thing."

I don't have an all-time favorite movie. I can't pick. A Clockwork Orange, Fight Club, Natural Born Killers, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, and a bunch of others I love a lot though.

I'm kind of torn between saying Groundhog Day or the Wedding Singer. There are a lot of technically better films I've seen (The Shining, Green Mile, many more) but I wanna go with a comedic film, because I can watch a good comedy film over and over again, whereas no matter how great a dramatic film is, I can get by with watching it once, and then never seeing it again, or not watching it for several years.

Wedding Singer is just a corny, cheesy movie, but it's Adam Sandler's greatest film and I doubt he'll ever top it. A great cast (including a wicked Steve Buscemi cameo), a fun 80s soundtrack, and most importantly, it's really funny. Me and a mate of mine saw it in the cinema when it was released, basically out of boredom because we'd either seen everything else that was showing, or we really didn't want to see them.

We had never heard of it, had no clue what it was about, and were rather embarrassed ordering the ticket because we pretty much thought it was a chick flick, and that we looked gay as fuck going to see it together. So it was a nice surprise that not only was it not a typical romantic chickflick (although it has those tendancies from time to time) but it was mostly hilarious and quite sitcom-ish for a movie. So for sentimental reasons and, basically, because I really enjoyed this light-hearted fun movie, I rate it as maybe my all-time favourite.

On the other hand, Groundhog Day is great because of the nature of the film. Because it repeats itself over and over, you can watch it a thousand times. And, of course, Bill Murray is superb, as he also was in Ghost Busters....

WAIT! What the fuck was I thinking??? Ghost Busters is my all-time favourite movie! I had a momentary blank then. Scrap everything else I said. Ghost Busters and Ghostbusters 2 are the greatest movies ever made. They have got... GOT!... to make a Ghostbusters 3!

The Crow.

Why? The movie had a fantastic script, awesome characters (also the right people playing the characters), and an amazing story that combined romance, drama, violence, and revenge themes.

I could watch this movie over and over again.
