Of course a single choice is somewhat silly, but for life and creative impact, Apocalypse Now… saw it at the drive-in as a kid, left a deep impression which led to an education about the source material, Coppola's obsession/drive, making-of-hyjinks, music, and a stunning art/war film (Redux!) that I'm always mesmerized by regardless of age.

To all of you who posted multiple movies...YOU ARE CHEATING!!!
You think it was easy for me to post just one??? Of course not, I struggled mightily...as I have different favorites in different film genres.
Stick to ONE...and only ONE...or else, no soup for you...

Oh great, nothing more aggravating them someone putting down my pick, especially the way you said it.
This is about our individual favorite, correct?
I already said ALIEN. You want me to change my movie because you say so?
I saw ALIEN with my late father back in 1979. I have a deep emotional connection to that movie, it always gives me thrills. That’s why 98% of my collection is ALIEN/ALIENS themed. While I do love Superman, I do not connect that movie with my late father. And it’s not like ALIEN is junk...it’s a friggin CLASSIC.
Instead of you putting other people’s opinions down, you should go ahead and post a pick of your own.
And why out of all the posters’ picks. Why bullseye me?
You think I like everyone’s individual picks here? No, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to criticize them for it, I respect their opinions...they like what they like, same as me.
ALIEN is the greatest sci-fi-horror movie ever in my opinion...and that’s my opinion, the only one that counts in my book...

Heh, heh... I might have been able to single one out had the original question said, "Anybody got a favorite Sci-fi movie?" or "Anybody got a favorite drama?" But I had a hard time separating the different genres. Citizen Kane may be a classic, but if you're not in the mood for it, Big Trouble in Little China might just ring your bell.
Of course you're right... But picking just one movie is haaaaaaarrrrddddd.Comment

That's the spirit! We all have our ever shifting lists, the many entertainments we love for any number of reasons, but I was curious about who among us actually has a film in their mind that genuinely rises to the level of being their unquestionable favorite. For me, I always have a different idea of my favorite this or that, and pinning down a top 10 of anything involves the most agonizing of soul searching, with constant revisions and restructuring, but when it comes to this topic, as has happened many times over the years, when I'm not even thinking about it the same flick just casually comes to mind.
If you want to talk solid favorite from genre to genre, though, that's where the problems begin!Last edited by toothaction; Nov 24, '18, 8:38 PM.>>> Looking for a few Bif Bang Pow! pretties. Please click to see if you can help!Comment

Most people have multiple favorite movies.
You have a favorite you can see again and again.
You have a favorite that you save and watch sparingly so you don't wear it out.
You have a favorite technical movie that's perfect in every way.
You have favorite fun movie that just makes you feel good.
Nobody can name just one movie that fits all of the above

If objectively is the new subjectively, then yes, Alien is an objectively superior film to Superman.
I suspect Mr. Marion was joshing you, Hector. It's just that his avatar looks so dag serious.>>> Looking for a few Bif Bang Pow! pretties. Please click to see if you can help!Comment
