I would add The Big Lebowski to my list. Love that movie.

I too also have to break it down by genre, although Star Wars can remain at the top as an overall winner.

Sci-Fi:
Star Wars, the first one (Episode IV)
I was just a kid but nothing has since rivaled the jaw dropping experience it gave me back then.

Action:
Raiders of the Lost Arc (much the same as above)

Fantasy:
Lord of the Rings (entire trilogy)

Comedy:
Monty Python and the holy Grail

War:
The longest Day (maybe because I just watched it again lately on TV)

Horror:
The Exorcist (The only horror movie that can still make me queasy.)

Not sure where it fits:
The Princess Bride (As Jake mentioned, i just has to be somewhere.)

Can't bring mself to really pick a favorite drama. There are just too many movies made in this category I can't pick one.

My not so secret indulgence:
Highlander, Only #1. The rest should never have been made.


With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Still my favorite of all time. Has all the elements that make a great classic movie.

And I can't leave out Citizen Kane -- another favorite with so much innovation for its time.

When I first saw this thread, The Last of the Mohicans came to mind, so I’m pretty sure that’s my all time favorite movie.

Then I started seeing other movies listed that I really like or at least remember liking. Excalibur is one of them. I remember loving that movie when it first came out. I’ve bought it on HD-DVD and watched it again not too long ago. It was still a great movie, just a bit hoaky. I sure would like to see this one remade following the original with Merlin’s character as is.

I like way too many movies to have a top five. I kept it under 20.

1- Last of the Mohicans
2- Excalibur
3- Blade Runner
4- 300
5- Braveheart
6- Gladiator
7- Tombstone
8- Cadyshack
9- Sahara
10- Saving Private Ryan
11- Escape From New York
12- Hallowing (the original)
13- King Arthur
14- Reign of Fire
15- Pulp Fiction
16- Taken
17- V for Vendetta
18- American Werewolf in London
19- The Warriors

Doh! Saving Private Ryan, I knew I would forget an obvious one. Caddyshack is up there too, the scene with Murray hitting the flowers, and the one with Dangerfield dancing in the fairway, are pure gold.

The thing that spoils a lot of WW2 combat movies for me is the use of American/Russian equip't, usually tanks, being passed off as German. I don't expect them to use any of the small handfull of surviving Panthers or JagdTigers, but at least use a 1/6th scale true replica or something....T-34's with a squared "Tiger" body ruin it for me.

I would have never guessed.

In the war category I would have to toss out Das Boot.
