movies/tv What is your favorite all time movie?

[Spidey10 840]

The Shawshank Redemption (1994). The most moving film I've ever seen with great performances from everybody (Especially from Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman), excellent pacing (It was actually Frank Darabont's first film as a director BTW), a powerful story from the mind of Stephen King, gorgeous cinematography by Roger Deakins, a beautiful score by Thomas Newman, one of the most underrated villains in movies with Warden Norton, and one of the best ending to any film. 

 

I have 3 other films that come close to being my favorite.

 

Raiders Of The Lost Ark (1981)- Whenever you think adventure films, there's a reason why the first franchise that comes to mind is Indiana Jones. I love Temple Of Doom and Last Crusade as well (Forget about Crystal Skull), but what Steven Spielberg and George Lucas were able to do with Raiders is just jaw dropping. They cast Indy perfectly with Harrison Ford (I even prefer him as Indy over Han Solo). The opening scene alone with Indy and Alfred Molina is cinematic perfection. So many great lines (Why'd it have to be snakes?) and maybe THE best chase scene in film history with the truck.

 

Predator (1987)- When we think of the original Predator, we remember it as this awesome action movies with all the classic one liners (I ain't got time to bleed) and all that's great. But director John Mctiernan (We directed Die Hard the year after BTW) made it more than just another 80's action movie. He also made it a tense sci fi thriller with all killer no filler direction, one of the better Arnold performances, one of the best alien creature designs of all time, and of course the greatest handshake in history between Dutch and Dillon.

 

Whiplash (2014)- The most recent addition to the list and the best film of 2014. Damien Chazelle directs this film in such a way that you feel like you're watching this intense action thriller while telling a story about a very abusive teacher and the student doing his best and more to impress him. J.K. Simmons deservingly won several awards for his performance, but don't forget about Miles Teller. Phenomenal editing as well.

Pulp Fiction, by far. I just love how well this movie is crafted and every time I watch it, it feels fresh. I like tons of other movies though and that list would be too long.

I have three favorites which I can't decide between:

• Natural Born Killers
• Fight Club
• Taxi Driver

All have a special place for me.

Terminator 2 Judgment Day is pretty high up there for me. It's a draw between that one and Rocky I

If I haven’t posted here already then it’s definitely WALLE! WALLE was a big part of my childhood and the movie fascinated me every time I watch it.

[Cash In 17,614]

Empire Strikes Back, A Clockwork Orange and No Country for Old Men. Three is cheating, but I like all of them a lot.

K-12, Angry Birds 2, Quints, and Equestria Girls.

tied between Brat (1997) and Jumanji (1995)

I really like Chappie 

[Prometheus 3,034]

Trainspotting for sure, know that movie like the back of my hand.

[DivineZipp1000 69,730]

Avengers Endgame! I absolutely loved this movie and an almost perfect movie from start to finish!

[Splashee 28,448]

The Matrix (not revolution or reloaded)

Too soon? ... Yea Too soon

 

[Paleopony 679]

Jurassic Park of course! 

[Shadowmoth2011 141]

Motherfucking Soul. I don't think there's a movie that speaks to me more deeply than this one. I listen to "Epiphany" on the regular. It's a movie that's really helped me appreciate my life all the more, even as I fight the symptoms of depression that have been crowding my mind recently. Luca is also a movie I feel a strong personal attachment to

[Tom Gallagher 33,385]

Spider-Man: No Way Home!

[dead account 2,685]

My Little Pony: The Movie (2017).

[pinkgoldrose 50]

Donnie Darko/Howl's moving castle/Kiki's delivery service

[ExplosionMare 17,844]

WALLE

It has beautiful visuals, adorable characters, a neat story told in a not so common way, and it was a staple of my childhood for so long!

As everyone probably know this already....Harry Potter (1-8)/Fantastic beasts (1-2).  Yep nothing can beat it. On the other hand, Joker (2019), Ocean eleven, and Star Wars :revenge of the Sith would be my extra all time favorite movies. 

I would now like to add Batman (2022). Damn what a movie. Genius. Also forgot to add "Get Out" and "Split" for a modern thriller movie, these one is fresh yet feel classic. 

[Celli 4,310]

Probably Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi.

[They call me Loyalty 1,806]

LOTR: The fellowship of the ring. It is not even a question. That movie makes my heart soar. There is a lot of occultism and occult messages as it happens with most productions from the real magicians of your reality in hollywood. But I still love that movie. Fellowship is magic.

Batman Begins (2005), I watch it in cinema on our vacation, it was a big room and large screen, maybe why I enjoyed and some good sense, one of my favourite. And Tumbler is awesome.
