I have two absolute single favorite movies (I know, I know) that I choose from based on the circumstances. For the SDMB, it has to be
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Gentleman’s Agreement
You take Casablanca. The Blues Brothers is MINE.
Stalag 17 or Casablanca
Well, sitting atop my list, in a statistical tie, are “The Man Who Would Be King” and “My Favorite Year.”
TMWWBK was formerly my clear #1 — but I re-watched it with my kids.
Great thread!
My go to is George Cukor’s The Phildelphia Story. Features three actors who each deserve a greatest of all time accolade and a solid supporting cast including Roland Young in a wonderful turn as Uncle Willie. Add to that a rendition of “Lydia the Tatooed Lady” and it’s pretty much a perfect movie.
So many of my perfect 10 movies have been listed already.
Casablanca is probably better, but The Maltese Falcon was the first noir I saw, and it sticks with me as my favorite. I remember my astonished delight at the rapid-fire dialog.
What about the sequel – “The Man Who Would Be King of the Popes”? 
Lots of great replies.
My favorite LOWBROW: The Island of Lost Souls, 1933. “Not to schpill BLOT, THAT is the Law! Are we not MEN?”
My favorite HIGHBROW: Either The Passion of Joan of Arc, (1928), or Metropolis, (1927). Just watched that again two weeks ago. I will never get tired of any of these.
I can’t POSSIBLY pick just one. I will say, whenever these movies are on tv, I will drop everything to watch: ‘Gone With the Wind’, any ‘Harry Potter’ movie, any ‘Lord of the Rings’ movie, any early ‘Star Wars’ movie. … Other than that, ‘Sunset Boulevard’ is right up there.
and ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ - till I die, I will watch this, also.
North by Northwest for me.
StarTrek IV, The Voyage Home.
I can follow the dialogue word for word, I’ve watched it so much.
ETA welcome ‘pawkins’
Casablanca, the only movie I’ve seen 20 times.
We are DEVO!

Thank you for specifying. That’s my favorite version too. I’m a big fan of '40s & '50s noir, and narration is very common. The narration by a world-weary Deckard fits the futuristic (well, not anymore) noir perfectly. I wonder if people who hate the narration have seen many old noirs, like Sunset Blvd. Ridley Scott knew what he was doing with the narration but took it out because, I assume, most people didn’t get that that’s what he was going for. I love the movie either way, it’s in my Top 5, but I’ll always have a soft spot for Scott’s original noir vision.
