I have two that flip for my favorite depending on my mood at any given time: "There Will Be Blood" and "Blade Runner 2049". They are both kinda slow and require attention to really appreciate, so probably my favorite movie to turn my brain off and have fun is "Mad Max: Fury Road".
Aliens.
Alien is good too but Aliens is damn near perfect for me.
Idk what the heck James Cameroon is doing now but, Avatar just didnโt land in the same way to me.
it's such a beautiful day
Perfect animated film Makes me feel things
I have pretty thoroughly stopped caring about movies.
The only movie in the last 15 years I've wanted to sit down and just watch. By myself, not as a thing to do with friends or family, not as something to have sound in the house while I do something else, to sit down with a bowl of popcorn and a beer and WATCH, was Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. So we'll go with that I guess.
My most watched movies:
Jurassic Park
The Firm
The Verdict
Children of Men
Arrival
Lord of the Rings
But you know all of those already. Here's one you probably haven't seen: Love me some stage play adapted to movie. Doubt (2008)
If you like legal dramas, presumed innocent (the movie with harrison ford) is really good also.
I do! Thanks for the suggestion
Oh brother, where art thou?
Man of constant sorrow. Nuff said
This movie is a masterpiece. I've seen it more times than I'd like to admit.
No one ever mentions this movie but my favorite movie is The Fountain, with Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz.
It's basically a love story set in three timelines, with absolutely amazing music, dark storytelling, and an unbelievably satisfying ending. A lot of it is left up to interpretation but it's not overly complicated. Cemented me as a huge fan of Aronofsky even if he's not always a pop culture favorite.
I love old movies. Here are 15 great ones. Watch these and you will love old movies too! Most are available on internet archive. I could probably add another 85 to this list.

- All About Eve (1950)
- The Apartment (1960)
- What Ever Happened to Baby Jane (1962)
- Sunset Boulevard (1950)

I love so many of these, I'm gonna have to download the rest that I haven't seen.
All about Eve, Witness for the prosecution, maltese falcon, and now voyager, rear window, these are some of the best movies ever made.
Overall favorite: Shawshank Redemption
Watched the most times: Notting Hill and Coming to America
My absolute favorite that I rewatch constantly is Supertroopers. If I only had 1 movie to be able to rewatch forever, it would be that one
"...all nimbly bimbly...?"
The Bagdad Cafรฉ. It's not exciting, or romantic, or tragic, or even that funny. But it's beautiful. God I love that film. It seriously has some of the best acting, directing, and writing I've ever witnessed. Second would probably be Casablanca/Lawrence of Arabia/Pulp Fiction/Eight and a Half/......
Edit: also black cat white cat Edit: Pane e Tulipani Edit: Buster Keaton's The Cameraman
