My favourite movie is a decision that I haven't made, because I love the two movies that fight over the top spot.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Goodbye, Mr Chips (1939 version)

This decision is so easy for me. Fight Club is not only my favorite movie of all time, I honestly think that it's one of the greatest and most important American films ever made. The direction from David Fincher keeps things interesting, the acting from Brad Pitt Helena Bonham Carter and especially Edward Norton is superb, the visual style is surreal yet familiar at the same time, it's social message is the perfect definition of 90s culture, and it's just flat-out entertaining. Able to be funny, dramatic, intelligent, romantic, all at once, it's one of the few movies that does it all, and does all of it well. I have yet to see a movie that can effect me as much as Fight Club has, for it truly showed me some important life-lessons (Like how to make soap, and things about our society), and showed me the awesomeness of Tyler Durden.
In Tyler We Trust.
Other favorites: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Shining, The Shawshank Redemption, 28 Days Later, The Blair Witch Project, Se7en, Kill Bill Vol. 1-2, Pulp Fiction, and more.

I honestly thought I was the only one who loved that movie.marter said:
It is indeed made of awesome.
That freaked me out. Burning alive is one of my fears I guess.marter said:You are not alone.Julianking93 said:
My favorite scene was probably the human roast. The entire scene was so great.
Though I did like the whole production part of it when they were on stage.
I'd say my favorite was the arena scene where she had to fight that Knight completely unarmed, yet she still killed him.
Heat. To me, it's an absolutely perfect movie. After that, probably the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I have a very deep personal connection to those films.
Dr. Strangelove: Pitch black comedy with Peter Sellers playing 3 roles! Yes please
Evil Dead 2: Slapstick/horror at its finest. It won't scare you, but its so damn fun to watch.
Pulp Fiction: Two wisecracking hitmen, a boxer, a kingpin, his wife, and a "headless ni----" (quoted from the movie) mixes together to make awesomeness.
Aliens: One of the few movies to ever get me to leap from my seat. (then again, watching it when I was 12 didn't help).
There is way more, but I don't want to bore anyone.

On one hand, we have Rocky, an inspirational story about a dude with less brain cells than an amputee can count on his hand. On the other hand, we have Finding Nemo, an inspirational story about a fish, who isn't that much smarter, and still prevails in the end. It's tough.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Great acting, story, directing, etc. I just think of it as the perfect movie. The sad part is that very few people in the younger generation know about it. It's the movie that made Jack Nicholson awesome. Seriously, go see this movie.

300 is my favorite when it comes to being like the source material. When Leonidas is charging through the ranks, the camerawork does a superb job of making near exact panels from the graphic novel. It is a visual masterpiece, and the effects blow me away.
Favorite goofy comedy is Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I do not need to explain.
My all-time favorite comedy is Blues Brothers if only for:
"We've one cigarette, half a tank of gas, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses."
For favorite sci-fi it's a tie between Avatar and Aliens. I can't bring myself to betray one for the other. The world of Avatar sucks you in and takes you for a ride, while Aliens is the best sci-fi horror movie out there, and does everything right.
Favorite fantasy is Return of the King Extended Edition. The camerawork is superb, the battles are choreographed excellently, and the characters come to life. The story is also amazing, and is a wonderful adaptation. Plus, I like the oathbreakers.
I like all of these, but if I had to pick one it would probably be the Return of the King
extended edition.
EDIT: I can't believe I forgot Close Encounters of the Third Kind. The soundtrack, atmosphere, mystery, and the way the different storylines met is superb. Still have RotK as favorite though.

Are you absolutely, positively certain about that?z(ombie)fan said:
Because I quite enjoyed some of his movies, and while none came to the level of awesomeness that is the Rock, but I kinda saw him as a decent action director.
Alright, Armageddon is fucking stupid, Pearl Harbour is painfully boring and I haven't seen the second Transformers which they say is shit, but, hey, every director has his screw-ups.
