If so, what is it and why?
For a long time I've felt that unlike with albums, where I do have a clear favourite, that I didn't have a singular favourite film of all time, but I've recently had something of an epiphany on this matter: My favourite movie is Pulp Fiction. For the reason that watching it I sit there grinning from ear to ear like a lunatic in a way that no other film makes me do. And I also don't know anything other film, even among Tarantino's own work, that feels quite like Pulp Fiction. It's an especially surprising revelation to me to realise this since I've long been of the minority opinion that Tarantino's best film is actually The Hateful Eight.

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. Edited by BitterJalapeno - 16 Aug 2021 at 1:16pm |

Star baby, did you deep fry a piece of the Great Barrier Reef?

Goodfellas would be up there for me as well. Amazing film. Somehow I've only ever seen it twice.

It used to be this:
 Now I'd probably say this:  It's gotta be a comedy, because life is too damn serious otherwise. |

Excellent choices. Dumb & Dumber was the first DVD I bought after the VHS player packed in back in the day.

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.

It's hard to pick just one but I would say either Labyrinth or Aliens. I watched Labyrinth ALL THE TIME as a kid and it never gets old! I don't much get tired of Aliens either.

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 |

Terminator has always and will always be one of my favorites. The same with the first two Alien/Aliens movies. It´s the period of my life I watched them and the fact that I still enjoy watching them again and again which makes them so speciel to me.

First two Terminators and first two Alien movies are all infinitely re-watchable to me.

Second Terminator movie is definitely a classic too, but I´ve always prefered the more primitive and gritty first movie the most. There´s no humour in that one either. it´s just dark, bleak, and post-apocalyptic depressive...yup that´s my poison

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.

I´ve watched Romulus...it was decent enough, and back to the format from the first movie of a crew being trapped on a ship (well two ships) with aliens. It´s alright and effectful enough, but it´s also pretty much a rehash movie, and like Covenant it features some questionable experiments which I found unnecessary.

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.
