These are my three favorite movies. I've watched lots of movies but none were as enjoyable as these three :). Part 2 is probably my favorite from them all. 


I love these movies, but they aren't my favorite, they're certainly up there though. :)

Leone, De Niro, Woods, probably my all time favourite.

Connery and Caine at their best.

Sad and hilarious in equal measure.

 

Tbh there's a stack of movies I could mention (we all could), Alien/Aliens, Glengarry Glen Ross, 12 Angry men, All That Jazz (Scheider was brilliant)...

 

Edit:  how could I forget Cinema Paradiso, shame on me lol

 

Can't believe I forgot these two either:

Princess Mononoke

I love anything by Studio Ghibli, but this is easily my favorite film of theirs. Probably my favorite film of all time. Impactful, meaningful, and beautiful.

 

Seven Samurai

Similarly to Studio Ghibli, I also like practically anything Akira Kurosawa has done or practically anything Toshiro Mifune has acted in. I consider this to be the magnum opus of both their careers. Just a great movie.

 

Mulan (1998)

MV5BODczMTdlYjMtZmNlYS00ZTliLTg1Y2YtZTY5

By far and away my all time favorite Disney film. It had such an impact on me when I was younger, and it continues to have an impact. Let's not forget about the catchy songs either. :)

 

The Great Race

MV5BMTQ1MzkzNTU3M15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNzAz

I don't know why I like this one so much, honestly. But it's certainly a funny movie.

 

Coraline

MV5BMzQxNjM5NzkxNV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMzg5

Admittedly I kind of hated this movie when I first saw it, but I slowly grew to appreciate and enjoy it later on. It just tells the story so well, and it manages to be both (somewhat) heartwarming and creepy at the same time. It's also very well animated.

 

The Iron Giant

MV5BMjIxNDU2Njk0OV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwODc3

Great story with a good message. I enjoyed this one a lot when I was younger.

 

Aside from these movies the rest are some pretty 'generic' movies, Jurassic Park, Alien, Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, etc.

I'v given up on arranging a top ten list. I just know what sits at the very top; but other than that this is in no real particular order.

Frankly I consider the entirety of the trilogy as one cohesive movie rather than three; but if I had to single one out it would be The Two Towers.

Now the rest are in no particular order and what movies I put on here tend to shift around quite a bit; but without further ado:

@Dr_Mayus M is a really nice choice. People don't talk about that movie too often, I guess because it's kind of eclipsed by Lang's Metropolis, which is also amazing. His Girl Friday is a nice choice as well. Black and white movies get a bad rep these days, unfortunately. Teens usually never watch them anymore, not just because of "missing" color, but also because of very different pacing.

 

To me, there's a ton of different movies that I love for different reasons. If I had to name just one, I always choose Fight Club because it has had such a big impact on me and is the only movie which I can say I've watched several hundred times without being hyperbolic. And because I haven't seen it mentioned too often - if at all - here, One flew over the cukoo's nest is a timeless classic.

The Killer, Django Unchained, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, No Country for Old Men, The Raid 2, Terminator 2, Ong Bak 1 and 2, Goodfellas, Alien, Blade Runner 2049 (probably my newest pick)

 

Honorable Mentions: Watchmen, 300 (I even have a soft spot for Rise of the Empire lol), SPL 2 aka Killzone 2 (have to let this one sink in a bit more), The Shining, Superbad, Scott Pilgrim...

 

I could keep going forever but I'm gonna stop here.

Thanks for the mentions :)

 

Yeah Metropolis is quite incredible as well. I have never seen the full movie that was released a few years ago. It is still incredible that they found the lost footage in a my theater in Argentina...what was a pre-war German film doing in a theater in Argentina ? 

 

Also it is sad that people can't appreciate old films. I will admit that old dramas don't hold up as well because it was that awkward phase between Stage Acting vs Film Acting where the pacing was hard to hold. There are still some amazing ones. Comedies on the other hand often blow new comedies out of the water. His Girl Friday, Lady Eve, How to Marry a Millionaire, Day at the Races etc etc etc are just some of my favourites :)

These 4 never really leave my top. Can never really decide between my the tie for first.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl / Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal (animation)

American Pie (lol I know...wtf is this movie doing here?)

 

Others I watch when I either can, since I don't own some of them, or watch whenever I'm in the mood. Which is very rarely because I find I can't sit through movies much anymore.

Last Samurai

Seven Samurai

Samurai Trilogy (Musashi Miyamoto, Duel at Ichijoji Temple, and Duel at Ganryu Island)

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
