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.
