Bladerunner, doesn't look like anyone else has listed it yet.

And listing more than one is breaking the rules. You either should list one film or answer that you can't pick one out of many LOL.

All Quiet on the Western Front.
The one with Ernest Borgnine and Johnboy. It's not enough to suggest that people are getting shot up and blown up, I have to see it for myself! :tongue_sm
Ernest

This is hard there is just so much to choose from.

Every so often I compile a top 5 list. Over the years some movies have been dropped for others and so on. The only one that has made the top 5 list every single time is
Cinema Paradiso.
I suppose that would make it my favorite.

Very tough to call, but here are some favorites from different genres:

Dances with Wolves (if I had to pick just one, this would be it)
Rocky (the original)
The Usual Suspects
Good Fellas
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Taxi Driver


A pretty "normal" list probably, but that's what I like

For one of the funniest movies that still makes me laugh just to think of certain scenes like the pizza delivery to the classroom, I would have to add Fast Times At Ridgemont High.

Not A Nice Person

Not A Nice Person

Great thread . . . like most, I'd find it impossible to pick just one. Some, like The Professional, Fight Club, Braveheart and The Godfather, already have multiple votes going.

Some that haven't been mentioned yet:

Reservoir Dogs. Brilliant editing and acting, and much darker than the equally brilliant Pulp Fiction in the same style/genre.

The Fifth Element. Granted, I'm a total Luc Besson fanboy (his The Professional is on my short list) but this, to me, is one of the best SF films of all time. Dazzling special effects, extraordinary costume/set design (Gaultier), great cast, HUGE action sequences, dark humor, clever back-and-forth film editing schtick, highly quotable dialogue, intriguing underlying mythos, just the whole nine yards. I've probably watched it 100 times.

Twelve Monkeys. Just brilliant . . . Terry Gilliam is another of my "must see anything they do" people.

A Fish Called Wanda. I wish they made more comedies like this, instead of crappy teen smirkage and witless moron showcases . . . brilliant acting, laugh till you pee yourself dialogue, hilarious, twisty plot.

Children of Men . . . newest film on my short list. Incredible movie. Dark, gritty, thought-provoking, and profoundly moving. One of those you think about for days and even weeks afterward, and watch again and again.
