But, how can I live without Casablanca, the Big Lebowski, Fargo, Night of the Hunter, North By Northwest, Hostiles, Dunkirk, somebody stop me. I would go on and on and on. Oh yes, Get Out, Split, Blade Runner. I have to stop

This is a mean post! I think of 3 then read other's lists and I just want to keep adding more and more so I'm just gonna put down as many as I want! I am not your Negro, Up! , Beauty and the Beast (animated) , The big Lebowski, Unforgiven, Princess Bride, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, The Big Short, The Man who shot Liberty Valance, and I have to add the TV show The Wire.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Princess Bride
Wizard of Oz

1. Auntie Mame [1958]
2. The Court Jester [1955]
3. Bringing Up Baby [1938]

The Big Lebowski
Destry Rides Again
The Man Who Knew Too Little

Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Honorable mention: Shawshank Redemption, Star Wars, Fight Club.

My picks:

• Casablanca (favorite movie of all time)
• The Matrix (favorite sci-fi movie)
• Big Trouble (great comedy)

Smuggled in:

• The Princess Bride (all-around solid movie)
• The Iron Giant (surprisingly deep cartoon movie)

Once Upon a time in the West
12 Angry Men the original
The Godfather

Young Frankenstein, Fight Club, and A Christmas Story (Red Rider carbine action two hundred shot range air rifle with a compass in the stock!). “Some men are baptists, others Catholics; my father was an Oldsmobile man.” Snatch would be my fourth.

The Wizard of OZ (I love the singing and everything about it. This is the only movie I need.)

Black Panther, Mulan, Guardians of the Galaxy

Unforgiven
Blade Runner (Final Cut)
Star Wars ANH (original/HSF)

Shawshank Redemption. Princess Bride cuz my kids loved it and it makes me think of happy times. Forrest Gump to look for the mistakes. In one scene when Forrest meets Jr, the iron is up as it should be. The next scene it's down on the ironing board.

The Big Sleep
North by Northwest
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Up Close and Personal, A walk in the Clouds,
Gone With The Wind.

1. EMPIRE STRIKES BACK: Favorite movie as a kid, still favorite now. It’s pure perfection for me.

2. FOREST GUMP: The historic references get me every time. One of the best movie casts ever ensembles.

3. PACIFIC RIM: It’s a real life Anime for me. Amazing visuals and solid story.

All the President's Men
Double Indemnity
LA Story
Honorable mention: JFK

Shawshank Redemption, the Big Lebowski, Monty Python & the Holy Grail.

Hidden on a flash drive in a fake outlet: The Jerk, Blazing Saddles, and Pulp Fiction.

"The Emperor's New Grovve"
"Forest Gump"
"Stand By Me"

At lest those are the ones I'd choose today. Usualy I list "Ordinary People" and "American Beauty" in such lists, but today I feel different.

Harold & Maude - The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover - Blade Runner

The Shawshank Redemption, Blade Runner and Bad Santa.

The Matrix, Say Anything, On Deadly Ground.

That is really a tough question. There are so many great movies.

I occasionally go on watching (actually listening as I often do not fire up the projector) binges and have found after repetitive screenings, even (what I once considered to be) great movies like Avatar become intolerable as every (not all) stupid line, every plot hole, become memorized and painfully transparent.

With that in mind,

Forest Gump, (one of John William's (EDIT not John Williams but Alan Silvestri) best scores (haven't seen it in years))
Frozen (in 3d it is lovely on the big screen) some of the music is ok.
The Iron Giant (the orchestration and sound effects (in a good theater) are amazing. The artistry of the graphics are also exceptional and the story line has some good elements.
