Do you have a favourite movie?

I'm not a major film buff but I would go with Goodfellas.

Great acting across the board and the plot doesn't get tiresome like some other well known gangster/mafia films.

Also, the soundtrack is incredible and superbly executed. I love how all the music throughout is accurate to the time setting of the story at every point, spanning from the 50s to the 80s.

I have never grown tired of it no matter how many times I've seen it.

It used to be this:

I would find it too difficult to narrow it down to one but Pulp Fiction would be high on my list. Also The Godfather and Godfather Part II and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly would be contenders.

Some great movies being mentioned here that would also make my shortlist for a top 100 including The Big Lebowski, The Thing, and The Good, The Bad & The Ugly. Personally I favour Alien over Aliens. I've never seen anything Monty Python in full though. 

I've always been bad with picking favorites. As a kid I would have said Star Wars or Jurassic Park, probably. For a long time whenever I was asked about my favorite movie I'd always say Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai. Nowadays I'm content with just saying that there are a lot of movies and franchises that I really love but I dont have a single favorite.

Some of those include:
Star Wars (not Disney)
Jurassic Park (just the Park movies though)
Seven Samurai (also a big fan of Kurosawa's samurai movies in general)
Godzilla (the last couple of films from Legendary Pictures monsterverse have been a bit of a letdown but I'm still as in love with this franchise as I was when I first discovered it in my teenage years)
Heavy Trip (really looking forward to the sequel!)
Starship Troopers
Red Cliff
The Lord of the Rings trilogy

I think both franchises have similarities in how they don't rehash the style of the first one for the sequel. I think that's what makes both Terminator 2 and Aliens to be such good sequels. 

I can take or leave the rest of those franchises though (to be fair I haven't even watched beyond Terminator 3). I've heard positive things about Alien: Romulus though. 

It’s so hard to pick just one favorite movie, but if I had to choose, it would be Inception. I love how every detail keeps you hooked. I’m also a big fan of The Shawshank Redemption, such an inspiring classic with an amazing cast. Recently, I’ve been re-watching The Dark Knight Trilogy on HBO Max, and it still holds up as one of my favorite series. If you’re into exploring great films, their library is awesome, and the HBO Max phone number is helpful if you need assistance with your account.
