Old: The Little Foxes
Modern: No Country for Old Men
Blade Runner
The Big Lebowski. Second place is not close.
*Local Hero *.
Dead Poets Society.
I’m sticking with The Warriors. It’s been my favorite movie since I was 14. I’m nothing if not faithful.
The Lord of the Rings - its all one big 11 hour film to me
Godfather I & II
Deerhunter
Mr. Smith Goes To Washington
Best Years of our Lives
My Blue Heaven
Citizen Kane
Wizard of Oz
Graduate
Hey, **haymarketmartyr **, you’re cheating!
I’d say Valmont.
Garden State.
“Did you cook my rabbit?”
A kindred soul Gordon, I just read your name and knew, even before I read your answer. There are a lot of movies I’ll watch whenever they come on, or someone here has playing but, this is the only one I ever go fetch just to watch by myself.
Possibly the perfect movie.
I think I’ll go with Young Einstein. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen it and it always makes me laugh. It was the first movie I watched on my big new TV when I got it. You gotta love it when they do “A Fistful of Scientists”.
#1: Animal House There is hardly a situation to be found for which an Animal House quote is not appropriate.
Runners up: Singing In the Rain, The Wizard of Oz, Casablanca, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
I’ll go with The Lord of the Rings, too. All three movies.
When LoTR isn’t on, I will watch The Matrix for the 500th time.
If I had to pick the movie that had the most impact on me when I viewed, and the most lasting impact ever since, it would be Carl Dreyer’s The Passion of Joan of Arc. But Tarkovsky’s *Solyaris *always occurs to me when I contemplate this question, as does Mizoguchi’s *Ugetsu, * Murnau’s Sunrise, Vidor’s The Crowd, and Rossellini’s Europa 51.
If I’m gonna pick a movie that I can watch over and over again without getting tired of it, it would probably be The Searchers. But again, other titles that come to mind are* Out of Sight, In Bruges, Pulp Fiction, The Awful Truth, The Thin Man, Judge Priest, Gilda* . . . man, so many.
I’ll go with the “watch it over and over and never get tired” definition:
Clue
The entire cast is wonderful, but Tim Curry and Madeline Kahn (rest her soul) are perfect at ensemble cast zingers.
As difficult as a task this is, The Ninth Configuration will always be up there for me.
Outstanding! I had never heard of anybody else who loved Out of the Past as much as I do, until today!
PAR2 is also one of my faves.
I think Saving Private Ryan will always be my favorite. Close behind it are Casablanca and The Lord of The Rings.
Best: 12 Angry Men, followed closely by Casablanca
Favorite: Clue, followed closely by Noises Off (and many others).
Casablanca
Runner-ups:
Airplane
Blade Runner
Back to the Future
Raiders of the Lost Ark
