Singin' in the Rain
I tell people it's a tie between "Sound of Music" and "The Exorcist".
It's really a tie between "Sound of Music" and "The Exorcist".
I can't choose just one, but two high ranking movies in my book are Top Hat and Stepmom.

"Sound of Music" and "The Exorcist"
That has got to be the ultimate double-feature.
"Sound of Music" and "The Exorcist"
I think someone needs to combine the two.
"Oh, Liesel. Don't spin your head so much, dear. You'll frighten the Nazi's."
That's my absolute favorite episode of Friends. "What phenomenom scares the bejesus out of Chandler Bing?" "Michael Flatley Lord of the Dance!"
I tell people my favorite is Mary Poppins but it's really The Little Mermaid.
"Oh, Liesel. Don't spin your head so much, dear. You'll frighten the Nazi's."
I actually laughed out loud at that for some reason..
I don't usually tell people that the Pirates of the Caribbean movies are up there with my favorites... and I used to hide my obsessive love for all things Harry Potter, but I've come clean.
orangeskittles - CHANANDLER BONG!!!!!
Ohhh, figured it out.
I tell people Steel Magnolias.
It's actually Dazed and Confused.
Marta is the one posessed, duh!
"My birthday is next Tuesday...and I want a pink parasol...SHOVED UP MY *&%&^%$!!!"

I feel like I can't continue living unless I hear Piper Laurie sing "Climb Every Mountain".
But the scene with Marta and the crucifix is sure to get the film an NC-17.
It's actually Ms. Chanandler Bong.
LOL. I forgot about the MS! :)

"That's not even a WORD!"
I figure anyone who is insistent that you have to have one single favourite is someone who's making some kind of (usually dumb ) judgement. So while I have a whole mess of favourite movies (and books and colours and animals and all sorts of things), if they want just one, then I give them the answer that is not only accurate but also tells them a little about myself.
So my favourite movie should anyone ask is The Adventures of Priscilla - Queen of the Desert. My favourite movie in actuality veers between The Adventures of Priscilla - Queen of the Desert, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, and Evil Dead 2. That's my triumvirate. :3
"Big fat goalie!!!"
Since the point of this thread was to (I assume) mention movies that we love but are embarrassed to admit, I will toss in Hairspray (the movie of the musical of the movie).
I'm scared of the forthcoming sequel, but I can't enough of Johnny T in drag dancing with Christopher Walken (who looks like he has no idea what moive he's even in).
I know this is answering only half of the quiz (and I wouldn't say it's my "real" favorite movie), but I'm surprisingly fond of "The Fog."
I love everything about it, and if Adrienne Barbeau actually had that late-night radio show, I'd fall asleep to it nightly.
Pink Flamingos, there's no need to lie.
Oh Reg, The Fog is such a great movie.
That scene towards the end when the "zombies" have Adrienne cornered on the lighthouse roof. Bitch pulls out a sickle and goes to town. Classic.
Oh, yeah! And the scene at the weather station!
Tazber, I absolutely agree. The opening shot of Touch of Evil is magnificent, and you're right Welles was never better.
I first discovered the movie on the late show (remember those?) back in the 70s. I was so thrilled when it was restored and played theatres.
"He was some kind of a man. What does it matter what you say about people?"
I adore The Fog. It is very imaginative and spooky. Adrienne is very very good in the film.

The Sound of Music is my favorite movie ever. I've seen it more times than I can count, and I never get tired of it. You know something is wrong when it is shown on ABC Family for three days straight with a four hour time slot, and I still watch all three showings. Actually, my parents say it's the first movie I ever watched as a baby. Why they skipped Disney videos and went straight for a three hour musical, I'll never know. But, I'm glad they did.
Ever After is second on my list.
