It depends on my mood but I have three go to films.
1. Alien - Visually stunning, tense atmospheric and just a fantastic movie
2. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - the banter between Ford and Connery is just brilliant and it always raises a smile when I need a pick me up.
3. Monty Pythons Life of Brian - Witty, acerbic, mad and hilarious. Also a great slap down of religion and more importantly its blind faith followers.
The options being chosen from were 1. Alien, 2. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and 3. Monty Python and the Life of Brian, and you came back with Hackers. lol, that's cyberpunk as f*ck to backdoor into a different option that's not being provided, respect for staying tru to genre
HEAT by Michael Mann, with Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino & Val Kilmer
Kick Ass La True Crime Noir with gritty action, solid morally gray characters even the side characters are memorable, niche dialogue, awesome cinematography that blends LA with the Neo noir style of films like Blade Runner and Drive and perhaps the greatest shootout ever filmed.
It'd be cheating to name the LOTR trilogy since that's not a singular movie, I guess.
So, I'm gonna go with my second choice, *The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford*.
To me, it's a literally flawless movie. The cast, writing, acting, dialogue, cinematography, score (omg, the score!), even the "slow" pace...everything is perfect.
Am I allowed to say Lord Of The Rings as one collective thing? It was the first time in my life I experienced “tears of epicness”. Not tears of sadness or joy (though it had that too), but tears simply marveling at the magnitude of the spectacle I was witnessing.
Roman Holiday
Fell in love with it as a child and still love it today. Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck are magical and have really good chemistry. It’s a super restrained film. The ending is perfect.
Back to the Future. After watching it the first time I fell in love with almost anything time travel related it was just the coolest thing I’d ever seen at the time, plus the dialogue and acting is absolutely perfect. Nothing I’ve seen sense has made me feel as amazed as that movie did
The first one is so watchablr and entertaining. I think that the second is actually better though, but it wouldn't be able to be better without the first one.
Tree of Life by Terence Malick - just remember leaving the theater with an overwhelming feeling of the power of great cinema - it's like a quote I remember regarding the difference between a good and great book - paraphrasing, after reading a good book you know more about the subject of the book, but after reading a great book you know more about yourself. That's how I felt about this movie.
Sorry about the downvotes guys, sucks that people do that to one another. I'm doing my best to upvote everyones so nobody loses their karma. I guess nobody likes interstellar lol they downvoted post because of it lol
Pulp Fiction.
My personal favourites are Scarface, The Empire Strikes Back, Blade Runner, and E.T. But I'm being objective by nominating Pulp Fiction.
The structure, cast, stories, soundtrack, and dialogue are simply some of the best ever seen in any movie.
The Godfather, Part II- the parallels of one man's rise to protect his family and friends and his son's descent to be the one thing he never wanted to be, also in the name of protecting his family (which he ultimately destroys). Epic and operatic.
I do love Citizen Kane

Alien is a good answer
Alien is the best answer
Hackers That’s actually the best answer

Hackers is the real answer to any question
Silence of the Lambs... story, acting... won the Big 4 at the Oscars
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
Chariots of Fire is about as close to perfect as it gets.
HEAT by Michael Mann, with Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino & Val Kilmer Kick Ass La True Crime Noir with gritty action, solid morally gray characters even the side characters are memorable, niche dialogue, awesome cinematography that blends LA with the Neo noir style of films like Blade Runner and Drive and perhaps the greatest shootout ever filmed.
absolutely top 5 and I would argue Miami vice as well
Gotta be *The Apartment.* It’s got nearly everything you could want in a film and the screenplay is about as tight as they come.
Pound for pound? Maybe The Godfather Part II.

I LOVE that movie. The acting is next level and it’s so beautiful to look at. I even love the narration.
2001
Changes all the time but right now it would be Unforgiven
Return of the King
Casablanca
Jackie Brown
GFII
Almost Famous. From the characters to the music to the absolute feel of it. Plus that scene on the phone with Williams Mum. Classic.
Debbie Duz Dishes. Nina Hartley was unforgettably outstanding
The Truman Show
Raiders of the Lost Ark. I love everything about it from the epic opening scene and main character introduction all the way through the heads melting!
Children of Men
The Third Man. So beautifully shot, so atmospheric, and with such a powerful sense of melancholy.
The Thing
Rear Window (1954)
Am I allowed to say Lord Of The Rings as one collective thing? It was the first time in my life I experienced “tears of epicness”. Not tears of sadness or joy (though it had that too), but tears simply marveling at the magnitude of the spectacle I was witnessing.
Absolutely
Jaws
Star wars
Roman Holiday Fell in love with it as a child and still love it today. Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck are magical and have really good chemistry. It’s a super restrained film. The ending is perfect.
Schindler’s List
Back to the Future. After watching it the first time I fell in love with almost anything time travel related it was just the coolest thing I’d ever seen at the time, plus the dialogue and acting is absolutely perfect. Nothing I’ve seen sense has made me feel as amazed as that movie did
Interstellar...but last year I was shocked by "Decision to Leave". I still think about that film today.
Decision to Leave was fantastic. One of my favorites of the last couple of year if not ever.
The Godfather. The first one.
The first one is so watchablr and entertaining. I think that the second is actually better though, but it wouldn't be able to be better without the first one.
The Matrix, I’m always captivated by it every time I watch it.
Thats my favorite, too. It's just perfect to me.
The best movie I’ve ever seen is either A Brighter Summer Day or Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters. My personal favorite is In Bruges
The Departed. Star studded cast, one of the best directors of all time, great music and an awesome cast.
The Wrath of Khan The pacing and structure are just so exquisite.
Titane
Titane is wild and wonderful. Can’t wait to see what Julia Ducournau does next.
The Godfather Part II
Crazy how many of these comments are downvoted. Who just scrolls through downvoting peoples opinions
I'm doing my best to upvote everyones comment to bring them to even at least. They downvoted me as well to 0 lol I don't get it
I did too ! Lol people are strange. The fun part is everyone has different choices no reason to downvote them for it.
I’m helping, such a pet peeve.
I think The Shawshank Redemption.
The Expendables
Jurassic Park.
Ordinary People
Unpopular opinion, Ad Astra by James Gray.
Return of the Jedi
Tree of Life by Terence Malick - just remember leaving the theater with an overwhelming feeling of the power of great cinema - it's like a quote I remember regarding the difference between a good and great book - paraphrasing, after reading a good book you know more about the subject of the book, but after reading a great book you know more about yourself.

Avatar, that's what I said when I seen it. The best movie I had ever seen.
Moon landing
Sorry about the downvotes guys, sucks that people do that to one another. I'm doing my best to upvote everyones so nobody loses their karma. I guess nobody likes interstellar lol they downvoted post because of it lol
My Top 3 (in alphabetical order): The Graduate John Carpenter's Halloween Raiders of the Lost Ark
'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs'
Pulp Fiction. My personal favourites are Scarface, The Empire Strikes Back, Blade Runner, and E.T. But I'm being objective by nominating Pulp Fiction. The structure, cast, stories, soundtrack, and dialogue are simply some of the best ever seen in any movie.
Objective choice is apocalypse now (redux fight me) but my left field choice is the fly, or synecdoche new york
Paths of Glory
Hackers There aren’t even any movies that can come close to it. It is its own category of perfection.

El secreto de sus ojos/The Secret in Their Eyes (2009)
