Overall favorite: Shawshank Redemption
Watched the most times: Notting Hill and Coming to America
Lots of great picks here! I could go with a dozen that have already been mentioned, but I will throw out Blade Runner. The look, the feel, the sound, the ideas... Rutger Hauer's classic monologue, Sean Young at peak compelling...
Aliens.
Alien is good too but Aliens is damn near perfect for me.
Idk what the heck James Cameroon is doing now but, Avatar just didnโt land in the same way to me.
Depends on my mood, but usually the Amazing Bulk.
I have two that flip for my favorite depending on my mood at any given time: "There Will Be Blood" and "Blade Runner 2049". They are both kinda slow and require attention to really appreciate, so probably my favorite movie to turn my brain off and have fun is "Mad Max: Fury Road".
Iโm not really a movie watcher, but at the moment Iโd say Punch Drunk Love, Onward, Dune, 5th Element, and Tombstone. Oh! People Vs Larry Flynt.
One older one: Disneys Atlantis A newer one: Ready Player One
The Bagdad Cafรฉ. It's not exciting, or romantic, or tragic, or even that funny. But it's beautiful. God I love that film. It seriously has some of the best acting, directing, and writing I've ever witnessed. Second would probably be Casablanca/Lawrence of Arabia/Pulp Fiction/Eight and a Half/......
Edit: also black cat white cat Edit: Pane e Tulipani Edit: Buster Keaton's The Cameraman
For me, it's Poor Things. I watched it three times in a row, when it came out. First of all, it's a perfectly executed movie for me, the style, the acting, the storytelling, Emma Stone. What makes it special for me, is that it embodies everything I like about my sexuality and I hope that humanity is heading in that direction of norm-breaking freedom of leading your life. Yorgos Lanthimos has a way of transporting a fresh view on possible paths for society.
it's such a beautiful day
Perfect animated film Makes me feel things
