Despite only coming out last year, my favorite movie of all time is INLAND EMPIRE. It may not be for everyone, and some may just absolutely abhor it, but this film is an absolute masterpiece and the experience of watching it in the theater is one that shall never leave my head.

The Producers (2005 and 1960 versions)
The Squid and The Whale
The Man Who Came To Dinner
The Bridcage
Young Frankenstein
Blazing Saddles
Laughter on the 23rd Floor
Labyrinth

That narrows it out....

EDIT: How could I forget, Waiting For Guffman?!?

The problem with these threads is that I see everyone else's answers and think "oh yeah! I should have said that too!"

I don't have one favorite. Movies bring so many different emotions out depending on where a person is (figuratively) when they see it. And then there are those that are sheer masterpieces of craft.

I simply can not choose.

My sentimental choice would be It's a Wonderful Life, but it's really tough to single out one favorite.

Casablanca, Beauty & the Beast and Anastasia are the three of which I can never get tired. I suppose that makes them my favorites.

These are my top 3 favorite:

After that, I don't have particular favorites.

My all-time favorite (or even top 3 favorites) change every second. I couldn't possibly pin the title on just one or a few, so some of my all-time favorites are:

The Wizard of Oz
The Sound of Music
Mommie Dearest
All About Eve
Schindler's List
The Color Purple
Breakfast at Tiffany's
The Graduate
The Hours
The Apartment
Midnight Cowboy
The Deer Hunter
Sophie's Choice
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?


And some recent films that have stood up to several viewings and will inevitably join my list as the years go on:

Little Children
Little Miss Sunshine
Notes on a Scandal
Pan's Labryinth
The Queen
Brokeback Mountain
Capote
Munich
Mystic River

The Godfather

Sunset Boulevard. I just think it is an overall strong movie amongst all the others that I like with more flaws to them or aren't as repeatedly viewed as this one gets in my house.

I'd also have to say that BRAZIL and PERSONA are also up there.

[Raviolisun]

Posted: 6/7/07 at 6:22pm

Ah, I totally forgot about the Brat Pack movies. The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles are definitely up there.

I think I'm one of the only people on the planet that does not like the Brat Pack movies.
