My all time favorite movie is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzaQI6_h07I. I probably watched it, and this is a literal estimation, a hundred times when I was a kid. I love the wild car chases and the sound their vehicles make, and besides all that it has everything. Fights, wild animals, car chases, guns, women, John Wayne, romance, comedy, action! Best movie ever.

Second place has to go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejEVczA8PLU. It was the best Disney movie, and let me tell you I watched all the Disney movies all the time. When you live in the middle of Africa and all you have as a kid are LEGOs and VHS tapes, you watch a lot of movies. Even when I was little I judged films and games by their music first, then everything else second. Hakuna Matata baby, Hakuna Matata.

Third place is the new comer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBEJCaRxBuY. It's not often I re-watch anything Anime related. I have the kind of memory that, even if I really enjoy something, watching it a second time just doesn't do anything for me because I remember it all anyways. The first Slayers movie, however, has gotten me to watch it about three or four times now and shows no signs of stopping. There's just something wonderfully classic and fun about it, and of course it has an outstanding musical score. I like it because it's a straight forward adventure film, and even though you know the protagonist is the most powerful sorcerer and could defeat demon gods and is totally going to win in the end, they still manage to pull off suspense about it right up until the end. That's what makes something re-watchable.

I have begun to purchase most of my favorite movies 1 by 1. Among the 20 or so that I have, I had none of my favorites really. Anyways...

Rush Hour 1-2 (the only 2 favorites I owned before I started buying last year)
Twister (probably my all time favorite)
Chronicles of Riddike
Taken
LOTR (all 3)
The Three Musketeers (Disney version)
Day After Tomorrow

Ones I have yet to get:

Die Hard 3/Live Free Die Hard
The Mummy 1-2 (probably will get the trilogy since it's cheaper to do that than buy the other two separate on blu ray)
Lethal Weapon series (Like 4 the most but all of em are great)

That's all I can think about at the moment, more will probably come to mind. Some of those movies are my favorite but I can only watch them once in a certain period (3-6+ months)..then other movies like Twister I can watch 1-2 times a month. Very very very few movies allow me to do that.

I'll stop there, you get the idea.

Decided to actually take the time to read the thread this time, I'm surprised at how many people mentioned Pitch Black as one of their favorites. I thought I was the only one!

Also can't believe I forgot 2 of my most favorite movies ever, Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead! How I could forget 2 of my top five all time favorites I don't know.

Nice lists! To those that like Saving Private Ryan: did you watch http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120863/ too? It was released in '98 also, but didn't get the attention it deserved because of this other war movie. The credit that SPR got was much deserved, but TTRL was a whole other kind of movie in the end. Not all comparable to SPR. Based on the novel by James Jones if that rings any bells. I can recommend this one to everyone. Some say this film was much to deep to be a war film. All I can say is the emphasis wasn't laid on the action or the depiction of the war theatre, which was Guadalcanol by the way. I like this film because of its depiction of human emotions and the soundtrack (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOFZSnz9J3s) was just unforgettable. I can assure you'll like this one.

I may be underestimating the reputation and fame of this film...
