For me, personally, It would be Snatch. It's such a great movie that I could watch again and again. So many interesting characters and a unique style that sets it apart from so many other movies. There's just that extra something in that movie

What about you, fellow Lemmites? What is your favourite movie?

The Big Lebowski.
I lie to people about how many times I've seen it because I don't want them to think I'm crazy (if you though about a number, it's more than that).
Every line of dialogue is simply a masterpiece.

The first Matrix!

The Blues Brothers.

The Princess Bride. It has great comedy, action, and romance. It’s influenced my sense of humor and it’s just so much fun.

Peter Jackson's Lord of the rings fellowship, two towers, and return of the king extended editions.

The Blues Brothers. It has action, comedy, cameos, and some of the best music in any film. I will never tire of watching it.

The cinematic masterpiece form 1999 starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz "The Mummy"

It would have to be Back to the Future. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve rewatched those movies. I also just saw the broadway musical version of it as well. If I had to choose between the three, then it would have to be the second one. There is so much iconic imagery from those movies, and I loved getting to see parts of the first from from different POVs. It has a great mix of many things that people can enjoy.

My favorite is The Fifth Element. Love it. Another great movie is The Apartment with Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine

It's a tough call between Fight Club and the Matrix. But id have to give it to the Matrix. That was groundbreaking and it still holds up.

For me, I think it has to be Pulp Fiction. I just recently rewatched it for the umpteenth time and it’s just as great as ever. I find myself quoting it quite often.

A bit of an outsider which is a big hit in my family is “A Good Year” by Ridley Scott, staring Russel Crowe. It’s a nice fun movie and for a family of francophiles like mine it’s a great way of getting a bit of the France we love in the middle of the dark Northern European winter.

My favourite is castle in the sky. To be honest, the nostalgia goggles play a major part, but the movie is just so damn beautiful with the interpersonal drama, the stunning themes of nature (both human and environmental) and the bombast of the inhuman weaponry a multitude of people want to acquire. Its just a fucking banger. Like many Ghibli movies I can't fathom how anyone would rate it for kids, but I'm glad I watched it as a child.

There Will Be Blood. Masterpiece.

Close second: No Country for Old Men

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

Different movies at different times in my life. The one that comes to mind currently is About Time (2013). Lovely film.
