Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine What is Your Favorite Movie of All Time?

I post a lot about movies in my schlock review thread, but I often struggle with the question about what movie is my favorite of all time. It was not until recently that I came to the conclusion that Jurassic Park is my favorite movie, as I am a huge Spielberg fan.

So what's YOUR favorite movie? What movie inspired you as a kid? What movie made you dream of new worlds beyond reality? What movie made you into who you are today.

The 1992 version of The Last of the Mohicans. People who mistakenly assume that Michael Mann doesn't care about women or can't write women need to see this movie. Madeline Stowe's Cora is both luminous and tough as nails. And Daniel Day-Lewis's Hawkeye is a great hero (and those long dark locks...)

That might also be mine.

That's on my list of movies I need to see.

Wait Until Dark. Is one of my favorites. I can watch it over and over.


I also am thinking of Rosemary's Baby as far as chic.


Also, Sorority Boys makes me laugh hysterically whenever I watch it.

Another one of my favorites is Predator. I love 80's Schwarzenegger flicks and this is the best of his work, even better than Terminator 2 and Total Recall, which are also awesome! The Predator design is a masterpiece and Stan Winston's effects in the movie are top notch, which really add to the suspense throughout the movie.

One of mine too.

Hard to pick one. I have different favorites for different moods.

For movies I like to watch over and over, it's down to Lost Boys (favorite vampire movie), Labyrinth (child-like nostalgia), Sahara (feel good movie) or Clue/Oscar/Fish Called Wanda/Soapdish (want to laugh).

It really does depend on my mood. There are a lot of movies I can re-watch over and over when the mood strikes but The Godfather is always first in my mind.

Quentin Tarantino's ( True Romance ) with Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette, Dennis Hopper, Val Kilmer, Brad Pitt, Gary Oldman, Christopher Walken, Samuel l.Jackson and James Gandolfini.

I don't really have a favourite... thinks... nope.

Some of the most beautifully shot, thought inspiring movies are ones I wouldn't necessarily put on for entertainment.

I do remember being amazed at Fritz Lang's Metropolis (If you've not seen it there's a newer restored version out that fills in a lot of gaps)

I've probably seen the Thing more than practically any other, as it's one I couldn't skip past if I tripped across a channel showing it.

I really enjoyed the Two Faces of January recently. It was a real noir story, it didn't just grab the aesthetic.

I didn't see Touch of Evil growing up, so it was a real treat to see that one. Welles and Heston, plus a few cameos.

I can add a couple after thinking about it:


well a few:

Excalibur
Bullets Over Broadway
Cradle Will Rock

I love a good farce, (or satire) my favorite genre .... however I thought Birdman was nothing like a good farce.

J'adore Excalibur!

Excalibur is one of those movies I need to watch ASAP.

Other John Boorman films worth seeing besides Excalibur include The Emerald Forest, Hope and Glory, Deliverance, Point Blank, The Tailor of Panama, and Exorcist II: The Heretic.

I just re-watched my sentimental all-time favorite last night: The Empire Strikes Back!

I know I've seen better movies in my lifetime, but absolutely none has been more influential and beloved by me!

I've seen Exorcist II before and I found it to be quite bizarre. It's a very different movie than its predecessor.

Merlin will never have any other accent after Excalibur

I saw the actor that plays Merlin in a film called The Human Factor, a spy film. Was pretty good but slow, and Iman was in it, and she's weird.

I like spy films. a lot.

Loved Excalibur for many reasons, not the least of which was Nicol Williamson's take on Merlin.

I hadn't seen Excalibur since I was a child when it kind of inundated premium cable channels until a few months ago when I recorded it on DVR and watched it. It's a very beautifully-shot movie but seemed a bit choppy and kind of woodenly-acted at points. The guy who played Arthur was especially flat. But the whole thing has an eerie dreamlike quality that makes me want to watch it again.

I remember Lancelot.
