absolute favorite movie
 
So pick a flick and own it. With Requiem for a Dream, The Silence (1963), and Noriko's Dinner Table on the short list, my current favorite of all time is:

Sword of Doom (1960).

There are too many great movies in the world to eliminate all but one.

Yeah thats how i feel.

Its kinda like picking your favourite child - do you say your eldest who went from masters to doctrate to professorship and who ever one admires (like Citizen Kane) or the youngest who is mildly retarded and was dropped on his head as a baby but is funny as hell and has a good heart (like street trash) - or how about your slutty step daughter who does everthing she can to press the wrong buttons (lets call her Ilsa)...

You get my drift :-)

I just know, after I pick a movie... in six-months I'll be like; "Why the hell did I choose that film!?!?". My passions and interests change minute to minute...

...same reason I'm not getting a tattoo.

Absolute classic, one of my favorites as well but my top favorites would have to be

1. The Dark Knight, never was a fan of the superhero movies and didn't even wanna see this one but some other people did and ever since it's been my favorite.
2. Silence of the lambs
3. A Nightmare on Elm Street
4. Dogma, the most consistently hillarious movie every time
5. Kill Bill (Vols 1 and 2)
6. Halloween (Rob Zombie)
7. The Prestige
8. Goodfellas
9. Rounders
10. Scream 2

Shawshank Redemption

Shawshank Redemption
CORPSE BRIDE

The Flayed One 12-03-2009 03:00 PM

Since I first viewed it, Exorcist III has been my favorite movie of all time. There are a lot of movies that compete, but none have topped it.

VampiricClown 12-03-2009 03:04 PM

The question, is what makes it an absolute favorite? There are so many reasons, to like so many movies.

Is it one that you really enjoyed, or one that you can watch over and over without getting tired of it?

Is it one you loved from your childhood, or one that had a big impact on your mental stability when you saw it on the big screen?


There are too many choices for me to give just one film this title...

massacre man 12-03-2009 03:23 PM

I've tried to carve mine down to ten and this the best I did, I failed miserably. In no order.

Batman Begins/The Dark Knight (I'm going to count them as one movie.)
Ed Wood
Chasing Amy
John Carpenter's Halloween
The Thing
The Aviator
Reservoir Dogs
Battle Royale
Fargo
The Big Lebowski
Taxi Driver
The Godfather/The Godfather 2
Die Hard
Clerks

Of course, I already said Memento was my favorite.

thegrouchsmom 12-03-2009 05:58 PM

Probably go with Brazil, but Pi and Rushmore run a close 2nd and 3rd.

Eazy_tom 12-04-2009 01:13 AM

None of these are in order really, it is completely impossible for me to only pick one.

Donnie Brasco
Return of The Living Dead
Full Metal Jacket
Apocalypse Now
The Pianist
Heat
Carlito's Way
Rounders
The Boondock Saints
Bio Zombie

You are correct. It's not my arm, but rather my leg...

Greg_ 12-07-2009 09:45 PM

Favorite all time movie is Edward Scissorhands.

Favorite horror is The Innocents.

_____V_____ 12-09-2009 10:41 PM

It would be near impossible to narrow it down to just ONE movie over ALL others. So many movies are special to me for so many different reasons. The best I can do is put down the ones which take preference over everything else.
  • Platoon
  • City Lights
  • Blade Runner
  • The Warriors
  • Pulp Fiction
  • Blazing Saddles
  • V For Vendetta
  • The Goonies
  • The Neverending Story
  • The Untouchables
  • For A Few Dollars More
  • To Kill A Mockingbird
  • The Shawshank Redemption
  • Terminator 2: Judgement Day
  • Unbreakable
  • Se7en
  • Alien
  • Predator
  • Grindhouse
  • The Evil Dead
  • Night of the Living Dead


That's my absolute top favorite movies.

missmacabre 12-09-2009 11:37 PM

Yeah I can't narrow it down either. Mine seem really random, but they are just movies I feel kinda connected to.

Carnival of Souls
Benny and Joon
Cube
Black Christmas

There are probably more, but since those spring to mind first, they are likely the only deserving enough to be listed.
