Usual Suspects - favorite thriller
Apollo 18 - favorite horror
Deadpool - favorite comedy
Any of the Bourne series- action

The Aviator.

Time Bandits. Absurdism, the metaphysical, history, fantasy, David Warner as the bad guy, Ian Holm, Sean Connery, Michael Palin, John Cleese, midgets, and we can make beans into peas.

I also like Tetsuo: The Iron Man. If crazy Japanese cyberpunk filtered through a David Lynchian lense sounds like something you'd watch I'd recommend it.

Pick *one*? /dismay

Thriller: Memento, Bourne Identity
Anime: Ghost in the Shell ('95), Tokyo Godfathers, Princess Kaguya, mumble mumble pick a good Miyazaki film
Western animation: The Incredibles, Monsters Inc., Coraline
Fantasy: Fellowship of the Ring, Pan's Labyrinth
SF: Her, The Martian
Martial Arts: Ip Man, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
Romance: Saving Face, Pride & Prejudice ('95)

Nightmare before christmas

Harakiri (1962)

American Classic: Fear and Loathing
Spanish: Devil's Backbone
French: The Intouchables
Anime: Berserk Golden Age
Martial Arts: The Bruce Lee Story
Period Piece: The Prestige/The Count of Monte Cristo
Grit: RocknRolla

Airplane!
Boyz N the Hood
Fight Club
Kill Bill (together)

My favourite film is Glengarry Glen Ross because the acting is just superb. Alec Baldwin nearly won an Oscar (and should have) and he's only in the film for 7 minutes.

omg glenarrt glen ross is freaking amazing! +1 Jamie

that entire cast is glorious

Westerns:
The Great Escape
Kelly's Heroes
Go West - Marx Brothers (great train scene)
Catlow - with Leonard Nimoy as bounty hunter (it's only logical)

The Gret Escape is a WW II movie that plays as a western with the ensemble cast against the evil villains

shout out to Time Bandits- can't tell if that was a joke or not
Lord of the Rings is definitely mine, but I'm very biased. Other than that I am partial to animated movies, so I suppose all my suggestions will be discredited immediately.

namely:
Beauty and the Beast
Incredibles

though The Dark Night and Inception are also two good movies.

I am most definitely not joking about Time Bandits being my favorite movie. I have been debating on whether or not I should buy a full size replica map of the universe as a Christmas present to myself this year.

The Fly, David Cronenberg version. Simply the greatest love story ever told, and a most excellent performance from Jeff Goldblum.

Heathers (1989). Super quotable dark comedy.

Monty Python's The Meaning of Life is also a good one.

I agree with Halls of Mandos(not including The Dark Night and Inception). Another good on is Prince of Egypt.

Tomorrowland! I fell in love with the android Athena!

Off the top of my head, some favorites:

Interstellar
The Magnificent Seven (60s film)
The Third Man
Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Inception
Mud
The Longest Day
Zulu
Last of the Mohicans
Space Odyssey 2001
The Untouchables
A Walk in the Sun

This list could go on for awhile.

Quantum Apocalypse!

Ah there are so many great .movies. Reading the posts.. Yes I was most impressed by Glengarry Glen Ross, but felt that "conceptually " it was revisiting themes, subjects from Death of a Salesman.

Ghostbusters is the greatest movie ever made.
