A very tough decision I have to admit, but I am going to go with The Shawshank Redemption. It is one of those movies I just can't not watch, I own it on DVD, yet if it comes on the tele, I just have to watch it.
"These waters run deep, it's clear my little one/Blue velvet star sky not a sound
The light in your eyes, the smile on your ruby lips/Tells me my lost soul is found" |

I know it's a bit of a cliche, but the book was way better. I think the movie could have been way better too.

Copied from my post on the Worst Movie thread:
My favorite movie (watched over 200 times) is Death Wish 3. So incredibly bad in every way a movie could be bad. It's a sublime pleasure for anyone who enjoys bad movies. Out now on DVD! See www.jabootu.com/deathwish3.htm for a very good breakdown of the film.

Rushmore is my all-time fave.
But I've been watching The Big Lebowski, Rounders, and Made more than anything in the past year. |

This is near impossible for me, so I will just put in some guidelines for my choice and get on with it. Going on the arbitrary basis of fairly contemporary (1987), all-around satisfying movie that
1. I bought
and
2. watched many times over
3. to renew my lust for life,
and
4. to hear beautifully-spoken monologues and poetry in German
and
5. watch great performances and hear songs from Lou Reed, Laurie Anderson and Nick Cave and the BadSeeds (among others)
and
6. One of the most lovingly acted movies ever -it's as if everyone stepped into another dimension to produce this thing
"Wings of Desire" (or "Der Himmel über Berlin") http://www.wim-wenders.com/movies/movies_spec/wingsofdesire/wingsofdesire.htm
NOT to be confused with that utter bullshit by the same name that came out later. "Angels ...something something or other". Grrr!

Okay, did I say "Teenwolf"? I'm thinking "Teenwolf" and "Footloose" are pretty much tied.
1. I am a fsh with no i's.
2. You must be wearing Zubaz, 'cause you're daring to be different.
3. I am a man with 3 fingers...but that doesn't count my index finger nor my thumb. |

but what is it about predator that you like mike?
Angela loves Arnie, so thats her main reason.
we own almost all of Arnies movies up to and including terminator 2 after which he goes shit - about 9 in all.
We also own all the Alien movies, which she opened my eyes open too as well….
yes, i lived a sheltered childhood....

Well I used to love Arnie as a kid, and I rented this movie for this reason. However, the predator stole the show completely. It's the reason why Predator 2 is my second favourite movie ever, and why Alien Vs Predator may well just beat them both.
Not the greatest movie of all time, but my favourite in the sense that I can watch it time and time again.

In that case, make mine Citizen Kane. No, wait, make it Short Circuit. |

My trip was great, thanks. Amazing landscapes, great beaches, extremely hot weather and cool margaritas. I'll post pictures.

I'll stake my reputation on this - David Leans' Great Expectations (1946) with John Mills - the most absolutely perfect film ever made to date. Make sure you don't get another version by mistake. |

There are so many great movies, but my fancy today is with Slapshot, because someone "finally" tells Capt. Janeway, "You're #*@%ed. And by the way, you'd better get a man in your life..." |
