[mustangclaire]

I have so many!
Stand By Me.
Shawshank.
Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead and Worlds End.
The Green Mile.
American Pie films (sad I know but sometimes they just hit the spot).
Lovely Bones.
Highlander.
The original Gone in 60 Seconds.
Sex and the City 1 and 2 (sometimes I have to admit to being a female, and again these hit the spot at times).

The list could go on and on depending on my mood.

 

[TrueGeneration]

My top ten:
1. The Godfather
2. Saving Private Ryan
3. Little Miss Sunshine
4. Breaking Away
5. Inglourious Basterds
6. Ferris Bueller's Day Off
7. Moulin Rouge
8. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

[HollyGolightly]

For laughs: The Birdcage, Joe Dirt, Meatballs
For tears: Terms of Endearment
For staying power: The Godfather, The Princess Bride
Chic Flicks: Sex & the City Movies
Action: I'm a Bond fan - most all of them
I like Westerns too: The Outlaw Josey Wales, Young Guns (that was so great!)


Classics: I love all those Neil Simon movies Barefoot in the Park, Odd Couple, The Apartment, Same Time, Next Year, The Four Seasons

I'm sure there's lots I'm leaving out. It's early and I'm only into my first cup of coffee.

Actually, I'm gonna remove Starship Troopers and Alien 3 and put in Forrest Gump and Silence of The Lambs respectively. Starship Troopers and Alien 3 can be 11 and 12.

Forrest Gump is wonderful, one of my favourites.

 

[GNTLGNT]

...horror, science fiction, action/adventure and comedy are my favorite genres, but my moods determine my faves at any given time...so it would be nigh on impossible to point the finger at a favorite...though things with Bruce Campbell and Clint Eastwood are always choices...

 

[jacobtlong]

Making me choose my favorite films. Do you know what you have done to me? The agony of narrowing it to ten...

10. The Departed
09. On the Waterfront
08. The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly
07. 2001: A Space Odyssey
06. I Saw the Devil
05. Scent of a Woman
04. Ben-Hur
03. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
02. The Godfather Part II
01. The Godfather

Honorable mentions: 12 Angry Men, Akira, Rebel Without a Cause, In Harm's Way, Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction, Schindler's List, and Dirty Harry, Paprika...

I could go on for days.

Say "Top 25", I can get started, but it'll take awhile, because as soon as asked I forget most of my list, and especially in what order it exists.

I have seen Taxi Driver several times and it seems to get better with age. I've mentioned this a few times before in various threads but I'll do it again. The academy award nominations for best picture in 1976 were:

Taxi Driver
Network
All The Presidents Men
Bound For Glory
Rocky

And the winner is: Rocky (WTH - nothing against Rocky, but seriously - best picture over those other 4?)

^That is absolutely crazy!

(One Oscar win that I can't get over is Shakespeare in Love beating Saving Private Ryan for Best Picture in 1999. [Also nominated: The Thin Red Line, Elizabeth, Life Is Beautiful])

Realized I missed a lot of classics that I love, particularly Rebecca and Cyrano DeBergerac. Giant and East of Eden. Bringing up Baby and The Philadelphia Story. Oh, this is too hard--I love movies so much.
