What is your all time favourite film?

[givemesomehelp]

This threads probably been done before..
But anyway..
what's your all time favourite film? Something that you would go back and watch again? Even if it's a strange one. My all time favourite is Shawshank redemption.. I know, I know! I've been asked why because everyone else seems to think it's boring but I honestly love it. I'm going on maternity leave soon and know I'll end up wanting to watch films when I'm bored. Hopefully I can look at this thread when I'm struggling for a film to watch! I'll take your word for it that it's a good film!

Oh bugger, I can’t keep it to 3.

Sleepers
Tremors

Anne of the Thousand Days. Amazingly acted 1970s chronicle of the rise and fall of Anne Boleyn.

I think it might be Groundhog Day. It's the only film that if it's on TV I can;t turn off, even though i've seen it so many times before.

Withnail and I
Blythe Spirit
Star Wars

Interstellar!

1996 Baz Lurhman's Romeo & Juliet (the one with Leo)

Far too many to mention. Dh and I once decided to list our ten favourite films and to use our two lists as the starting point to build our own video collection. I couldn't get below 50!

I love several of those already mentioned - Apollo 13, Dr Zhivago, Big, etc. I also love a number of old black and white films - The Shop Around the Corner, Goodbye Mr Chips and Random Harvest to name a few.
Not really a fan of a lot of modern day stuff.

Dr Zhivago
Schindler’s list
Con air
Good will hunting
Mrs. Doubtfire
The remains of the day
Blade runner
28 days later
Life of Pi
The pianist
Life is beautiful

I love films so it’s really difficult to choose one. I really love Father of the Bride with Steve Martin, it’s my go to film when I need a pick me up. I think because I lost my dad at an early age that I just love the see the father and daughter relationship.
Also love Big, When Harry Met Sally, Pretty Woman, The Notebook.

It depends. Shawshank is a beautifully told, satisfying story. I do like it. But I wouldn't go out of my way to see it again, and tbh, if I happened upon it in the schedules I might not bother either.

It's a bit like appreciating the beauty of a model in a perfume ad. I get it, I appreciate it, it works very well, but once I've seen it, I'm kind of done.

I tend to gravitate to quotable cult movie stuff or films that I am happy to just watch over and over. So for me, my favourites are the ones I'm comfortably familiar with. Some are objectively fairly pablum, some better. I can't do just one, so I shall pick from a few genres.

For a thriller - Source Code.
For adventure - The Mummy
For cult classic - The Princess Bride
For historical epic - Gladiator
For romcom - What's your number?
For classic Hollywood - Singin' in the Rain.

It's a toss up between Alien and Aliens
