I'd have to say mine is No Country For Old Men

Donnie Darko

It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World

P.S. - This is subject to change, of course.

"The Emerald Forest"

"The Haunting" (1963 version)

Cinema Paradiso

Heavenly Creatures  

It's impossible for me to narrow it down to one movie but if me life was on the line and I was to choose just one movie to watch for the rest of my life, I would probably go for...The Big Lebowski.

Good choices all!  I'm going to go with Miller's Crossing.  MMMMMMM...Marcia Gay Harden.

3/11 posts are Coen Bros. movies.

Fargo.

Only joking. It's a Wonderful Life is my favorite of all time.

Though Fargo and No Country are both in my top ten. You know they are doing a new adaptation of True Grit next? Those crazy fools, now that might be a great movie.

Quoted from Murphy It's a Wonderful Life is my favorite of all time.

I knew you were some decent guy

Haha, I do try, honestly.

I had a rather strange introduction to movies, I spent much of my youth being raised by my Grandparents so all I ever got to see was their movies. I missed out on many of the movies that the kids talked about in school but I grew up on the classics and still to this day love watching old films, especially anything with James Stewart.

The Salton Sea

Damn... You've stumped me. I really find it too hard to pick a favourite movie. For me, it's a tough flip up between City of God and In Bruges... And I think I'd have to say In Bruges.

Do I think it's the best movie ever made? I know there are better made films, but that is my favourite film. Serious, and very funny at the same time. It also has IMO one of the best scripts of all time...

Jimmy Stewart!!  The man was an acting GOD!  Everyone should look for all movies he was in and check them out.  You won't be disappointed!!

That's a tough one

I can't pick one or two.

- The Lion King;
- The Shawshank Redeption;
- Gran Torino;
- Philadelphia;
- The Godfather.

And I'd continue ahah.

Cold Mountain, Fur, Australia, Moulin Rouge

Quoted from Sparklingdiamond... Cold Mountain, Fur, Australia, Moulin Rouge

OMG!  Those ALL have Nicole Kidman in them!!

Sex Boat.  absolute classic.
Oops, sorry...wrong board! I thought Simply Porn looked a bit jazzed up. That's what nightshift will do to ya. Um, Jaws.

Geez, it'd be a tie between Aliens and Jurassic Park for me. Yeah, not exactly the hugely dramatic kind but still classics in their own right.

Memento or Eternal Sunshine.

Rushmore.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button still leaves me in awe. A magnificent film I was lucky enough to see on the big screen.

The Big Lebowski, hands down for me.

I might add "The Ghost and Mrs Muir"




Michel

Quoted from michel I might add "The Ghost and Mrs Muir" Michel

I remember that one! That would be fun to watch again.

Sandra

The Big Chill shows what you can do with well-written characters sitting around and talking.


Phil

'Vanilla Sky', 'cos it means so much to me on a personal level. When a film can just sum up an issue in your life, then you will forever cherish it.

I know it can be quite hated, though!

Real marmite movie.

Andrew

Quoted from Sandra Elstree. I remember that one! That would be fun to watch again. Sandra

I wouldn't say "fun". It might be one of the most poetical movie I ever seen. Along with Wim Wender's "Wings of Desire"


Michel

Gladiator.

It has everything you could ever want in a film. It is perfection.

~Zack~

The end of Gladiator was perfection

Rather than just name a movie, I think people should include why they like this particular movie.

Quoted from dogglebe The Big Chill shows what you can do with well-written characters sitting around and talking.

As a writer, I liked this movie because the characters were so well developed.  There were no fancy special effects in the movie and the closest thing to an action sequence is the cast playing a minute or two of ytouch football.  The movie relied on acting and a strong script.


Phil

The Silence of the Lambs.

Perfect script, perfect acting, perfect everything. It was great on all levels. Also an amazing adaptation of the book. Almost follows the book to a tee and it still comes out perfect.

..and then of course Jody Foster was in it...

Little Miss Sunshine

Amazing script, I use it often for reference on how to write. All characters are given time for development and each helps to define the others. Good pacing, the story just flows and makes you want to keep going. Great dialogue, snappy and quotable.

And one of the greatest endings to a "family" movie ever.

Quoted from Zack Gladiator. It has everything you could ever want in a film. It is perfection.

Seconded, though the script wasn't as strong for me.
