I'm gonna go with Shaun of the Dead, I love every single second of that movie and never get tired or bored from watching it over and over again.
My other favourites include; The English Patient, Schindler's List, In Bruges, Hot Fuzz, Whiplash, Pay it Forward, Billy Elliot, Bang Bang You're Dead, Memento, Fight Club, American History X, Hunger, Hannibal, The Machinist, Donnie Darko, Seven Psycopaths, The Moon, Se7en, The Usual Suspects (in no particular order).
There are probably more but I can't really remember the names :P
This reply will get edited a lot cause I keep remembering the names :D

Wait, wait. You loved Shaun of the Dead, but didn't even include Hot Fuzz in the honorable mentions?

Let's just agree the whole cornetto trilogy is awesome?
Comment has been collapsed.
I should have, Hot Fuzz is my 2nd most favourite comedy movie of all times. I forgot many movies I love though. Just looking at a reply below mine I realised I also forgot Donnie Darko. I'll edit the reply :D

In Bruges is literally the only time I have ever enjoyed watching Colin Farrell.
Comment has been collapsed.
I strongly suggest Seven Psychopaths (oh look another movie I forgot to add to my initial list). Colin Farrell is quite good in it but the main attraction is Sam Rockwell and movie is really funny :D

That was on my netflix queue for awhile, not sure if it's still there.

Schindler's List, American History X, LOTR and last but not least HP.

Many great movies have been already mentioned. I`ll go in a different way and mention 2 movies from my top 50. Simply due to a specific genre (mindf***s): Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Donnie Darko

I barely ever watch movies. I liked Hot Fuzz though. The Matrix was good as well.

This is tough, I used to say "the original Star Wars trilogy" then for awhile I said "the Lord of the Rings trilogy". Honestly I can't pick a favorite film out of the hundreds I've seen over my lifetime.

You are the third person I've heard of with that experience; the first two were an in-law, and Hugh Jackman.
What part did you play?
Comment has been collapsed.

96 hours taken
Django unchained
Iron Man
The Conjuring 1&2
Ip Man series

2 of my recent favorites were Coherence and Sound of My Voice. Both will mess with your head in a fun way, Check them out if that's your kind of thing but if you don't like to be challenged by the film you're watching, definitely not for you.

That is a very tough question. I'll say take your pick of Star Wars, excluding the holiday special.

I don't have just one favorite, but Spirited Away is up there. I also love the Man With No Name trilogy.

No doubt about it! This is the only film of his I've seen, but I get shivers every time I think about it.

so many great movies here.
I just cannot pick one. :<
But my fav genre is sciencefiction
and i like gattaca most in that genre
Comment has been collapsed.
Gattaca.
No other movie concerns me emotionally like this. My most favorite movie since I've seen it for the first time around 15 years ago. Glad somebody else posted it already :)
Other great movies I do also like: Blade Runner, The Fabulous Life of Amélie Poulain, Memento, Mullholland Drive, Matrix, LOL, Bin-Jip, Black Swan, 30 Days of Night, Only God Forgives, Fight Club, Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Spirited Away

Three-way tie of Tarkovsky's Stalker, Ghost in the Shell, and the first three Bourne movies.
Yeah, I know, that's five. I can't pick one, and I consider the Bourne movies a set.
I like Stalker because of its ties to the fantastic Roadside Picnic and Stalker games. It's slow, but its thoughtful and beautiful.
I also like Ghost in the Shell because it's thoughtful and beautiful (especially the original, non-CGIed version), but I also love cyberpunk. Didn't like Innocence.
The first three Bourne movies are wonderful, always moving, neat choreography, good story, good acting. Hated Legacy for pacing, story, and acting problems, and because they completely undid the nice wrapping up Ultimatum did. Haven't seen Jason Bourne and don't really want to.

Strugatsky FTW! "Hard to be a God" and "Roadside Picnic" are my favorites.
Edit:
I mean the novels, not the films.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, Ghost In The Shell, one of the things that inspired The Matrix films and so much live-action cyberpunk sci-fi. Classic.
Comment has been collapsed.
I am also in love with STALKER Games, Ghost in the Shell (also mainly the first), Akira, Blade Runner, Cyperpunk in general,
I am tied with Tarkovsky's Stalker however, watched it recently and was kinda excited to do so, definitely worth watching and thinking about but... no way, it would be one of my favorites. Still need to read Roadside Picnic, it's lying on my shelf. Have only watched the first Bourne movie so far, maybe I should catch up with the other ones.
Favorite movie for me is Gattaca :)

The series is not really given the credit it deserves, especially for injecting a nice dose of European style surrealism into American genre cinema.
Comment has been collapsed.
"Stalker" and "La Jetee" are my favourite movies.
Other great ones:
Wings of desire
Dekalog
Santa Sangre
A clockwork orange
Sonatine
(...)

Great choices, all of them awesome. For those that don't know, La Jetee is the basis for 12 Monkeys.

A good year. Absolutely awesome movie with great actors acting great. :)) At least I watched this movie more times than any other, I think.
Comment has been collapsed.
My top 10:
Interstellar
There Will Be Blood
Pulp Fiction
The Big Lebowski
Fight Club
Inception
Perfect Blue
The Shining
Oldboy
Seven
And that's a tough list to narrow down! It still doesn't include some favourites like Blade Runner, Leon, Princess Mononoke, Drive, Memento, Eternal Sunshine, Lost in Translation, Pan's Labyrinth, Nightcrawler...

Awesome list, I haven't seen Oldboy, Seven and There Will Be Blood, but I have my eye on them. Again, great list, cheers for Perfect Blue!

Oh man you've got some great watching ahead of you then :-)
I've never seen Wings of Desire which you recommended. I'll give it a try. What other favourites do you have?
Comment has been collapsed.
Most of my other favorites are already mentioned in the thread (most of them from you :P). but I like "The Green Mile", The Silence of the Lambs, The Skeleton Key (a really underrated movie in my opinion), The Professional, Klopka (and others Serbian films, Serbs have amazing cinema), most of the films with Louis de Funes. There are many more, but somehow these are the only ones that come to my mind right now. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Silence of the Lambs is a great one, good call. Green Mile was good too, so I guess I need to add The Skeleton Key to my watchlist now!
Comment has been collapsed.
Add it only if you like plot twist horror movies, it can't compare to the other two. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Can't really name one but if I had to it's a three way tie between Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs and The Terminal.
By the way, I LOVE your Saitama avatar.

I finally watched To Be or Not to Be, Mel Brooks' remake of a 1942(?) picture. Not as good as the ones you mentioned, but still a great Brooks film.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hey, don't know what to watch tonight so, just wondering what is your favorite movie(s) ?
My pick would be Fight Club and/or The Pursuit of Happyness.
Also here is my list from last year for some not that well known good movies:
