I like all the movies you guys listed above... But, I wanted to add a couple of foreign films that you guys should also check out...

Le Pacte des Loups (Brotherhood of the Wolf) - French action movie set in 1700s about a detective and a native American who travel the French country side hunting a werewolf. Awesome fight scenes, shooting, werewolves, rape, incest, and Monica Bellucci plays a prostitute and had some super sexy nudy scenes... It's a great guy film.

A Very Long Engagement: need to watch a movie with your wife or girlfriend? Suggesting this one will impress her, and you'll enjoy it too... It's a love story based in France during WW1. Awesome battle scenes showing horrific trench warfare, biplanes, machine guns mowing down waves of French guys, etc. Beautiful young girl falls in love. Guy gets drafted. Girl gets letter that he's been killed. She refuses to give up and searches for him with help of a private investigator... Damn good movie.

Raise the Red Lantern: Chinese movie based in 1920 China. Rich dude has a palace with a wife and 7 or 8 concubines. Each woman has her own little apartment in the compound. The women pretend to be friends but actually hate each other. Every night, the rich guy picks which woman he's going to sleep with, and the house servants raise a red lantern outside her door, feed her the best food, wash her, massage her ahead of time. Of course, each woman wants to be chosen so that they will get the good food and pampering... The women start mistreating each other and scheming to gain the rich guy's affection. Things get bad quick... Murder, hate, abuse, etc... It's a damn good drama...

I'll try to think of more and reply later if y'all are interested...

Too many to have to choose.

Heat
The Fugitive
The Sting
Seven
The Deer Hunter
A Clockwork Orange
Fletch
Deliverance
The French Connection

Many that are already listed. 95% of Clint and many of Peter Sellers.

Lock, Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels is a fun British movie by Guy Richie. Good characters and lots of plot twists. And there's even a Bren gun thrown in for good measure.

Raising Arizona is hilarious. It is one of those movies that gets funnier every time I watch it.

O Brother Where Art Thou is the same way to me.

Hot Fuzz is a hilarious police action move satire if you like Nick Frost and Simon Pegg.

It is a bit campy, but I still like watching Enemy at the Gates. The carnage and brutality of the battle for Stalingrad still amazes me. Plus, lots of vintage rifles.

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. I am not a huge fan of Russell Crowe, but I thought this movie was very well made.
 
Damn you guys have remembered some good flicks!

Has " The Hustler" been mentioned?

Fury was still one of the best military flicks ever too!

I do not think I have a favorite. Every time I think I do, I come up with at least 5 others. Almost all of these already mentioned are on my list. Except "Undefeatable." @pinkbunny , that film is horrible (but in that early-90s, campy kinda way) lol....

What're you talking about, it has the best fight scene of all time in it! :p



IMO, the best movies are the ones that provide the most enjoyment, and for me, that's the most laughably bad. Anything Neil Breen, or recommended by Best of the Worst, should be on that list. :p

I can’t pick 1 as my moods often dictate what I would call my favorite.

Fantasy: Iam an LoTR fan, and the movies were amazing to me when they came out, so they will always be high on the list.

Western: My pop and I are both John Wayne fans, so the Shootist and True Grit constantly duke it out for top “favorite JW movie”. (Pun intended)

Sci-fi: Dread, the Karl Urban version is a guilty pleasure sci-choice for me. The violence is pretty brutal, but Urban nailed the character.

War Movie: Saving Private Ryan is at the top of my “war movies” list. Followed closely by Glory and Hamburger Hill.

But despite whatever mood I am in, Tombstone is always hovering around my favorite. I can think of. I other movie where nearly every line spoken by a main character has been so iconic.

Honorable mentioned:

Pale Rider
Outlaw Joseph Wales

"The French Connection" has one of the best chase scenes ever, but only if you see it on the big screen in a theater. Not the same watching it in your living room.

I'm with Booger in that I have no favorite movie simply because I like a bunch. But how about this
I have never seen:
The God Father
Gone with the wind
Lord of the ring
Any John Wayne movie
And for the life of me I don't understand why people love The outlaw josey wells.
 
I’m going to have to change my all time favorite. I listed a top five mixing up the title. My all timer is definitely:

Platoon

Charlie Sheen, Willem Defoe, Tom Berenger, Forrest Whitaker, Keith David, Kevin Dillon, and Johnny Depp.
Directed by Oliver Stone who served in the US Army. A lot of big money careers were established after this movie.

Can’t speak for anyone else, but for me, it’s the tragic hero journey. Josey isn’t a typical “good guy”...but he manages to end up on the right side of righteousness even though he is rough and violent. It’s one of those movies I can watch 10-15 minutes of and have a cool scene without having to wade through 2 hours of movies.

Movies like “Good Will Hunting” and “Shindlers List” are pretty amazing, but they are a commitment. If you don’t see it all 100% from beginning to end at a sitting then they lose their impact.

The most realistic war movie I have ever seen is ‘The Pacific’, a true story of various Marines serving during WWII. This movie is only lacking the smells of war to be truely authentic. This one will make you sweat in winter.

Outlaw Josey Wales is a good movie, but the story of the guy that wrote it is almost as good. Really odd guy, goes from a KKK member to believing in the Rousseauean 'noble savage', thinking that Indians are the epitome of moral good, and starts telling people he is an Indian. Odd guy.
