What's your absolute favourite film ever?

[Amaris]

While it's not my favorite movie, there's this little place in my heart for "The Stranger" (Orson Welles, Edward G. Robinson, Loretta Young).
Just my opinion, Edward G. Robinson was at the apex of "top notch" at this point.

I'd have to agree with JAWS

 

[Angela 0077]

Titanic

That movie was really cool.

This is the theme song.

Plus it has different scenes from the film

This is a tough one. I usually tap Apocalypse Now as #1, but 'favourite' isn't an adjective I'd use to describe it. To my mind, it suggests a film which is at least vaguely life-affirming.

I'll go with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

 

[Vasquez Rocks]

Almost Famous

 

[Small White Car]

Back to the Future

 

[OdoWanKenobi]

Such a hard question, but if pressed I would say Raiders of the Lost Ark.

 

[Too Much Fun]

It's a toss-up between "Scarface" (1983) and "Say Anything...". I can't think of two movie characters I find more endlessly entertaining than Tony Montana and Lloyd Dobler.

 

[Mr. B]

Ikiru, by Akira Kurosawa, 1952

 

[sidious618]

"Revenge of the Sith" tied with "Amen."

 

[JonathonWally]

Fight Club.

Epic movie, the very definition of life affirming. Think I'll put it on now.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Ben-Hur. The 1959 version.

 

[Nowhere Man]

Dances With Wolves. Young Guns 2 is a close second.

 

[Shaytan]

Les Enfants du Paradis

 

[Kirkman1987]

My brief High Noon phase is ending.

I now proclaim Eraserhead my favorite film.

 

[Too Much Fun]

I now proclaim Eraserhead my favorite film.

Neat-o! on the very day I watch it for the first time. I think "Blue Velvet" is a pointless, stupid piece of trash, but I've enjoyed all the other David Lynch movies I've seen so far ("The Elephant Man" and "Mulholland Dr."). At the moment, I can't decide which one I like more between "Eraserhead" and "Mulholland Dr.", but it's definitely one of his very best.

More thoughts here .

The Shawshank Redemption

No need to explain why.

Strongly disagree on Blue Velvet, but Muholland Dr. is one of his best. I don't think either is up to Eraserhead though. I find it to be so rewatchable.

I think it may have the best sound in a movie. The industrial noises and electricity, the vaudeville music and the mutant baby noises, it's terriffic.

Seems you've seen the three really great Lynch films. Most of the others are worth it too, and Twin Peaks is really worth it, up there with his best films.us

 

[Goliath]

Double Indemnity.

I wonder if you can guess, pop pickers.
