Some wonderful posts here, but for me I think I have to give the nod to "The Shawshank Redemption".

There are so many movies in so many genres. I don't have a "favorite" anything!
Last night I was able to watch To Kill a Mockingbird all the way through for the 1st time on TCM. Outstanding movie, as are all the others mentioned.

JohnO and I could have movie night together, I thought of this one later last night too.Originally Posted by JohnO
That's one of the greats. And linking back to Second Hand Lions above, a young Herb McCann as Boo Radley.
Which, speaking of Robert Duvall.... Lonesome Dove (okay, it's more than just "a" movie, but still).

I'm a big movie fan so here's some more
To hell and back. Cause Audie Murphy is the real deal. The rules of the house; if an Audie Murphy movie is on we watch it.
Since it is Christmas my favorite Christmas movies are, The three godfathers and Ronin.

Primeris like if Memento and Inception had a baby, the mindfucks were real. Best time travel movie I've seen, but it's not for the fidgety or those who want neat conclusions.
The Thin Red Line was far superior to Saving Private Ryan by my book. A controversial call, I know, but I found it to be far more compelling.
Hero is simply an amazing example of wuxia, excellent visuals, storyline, pacing, audio, etc.
United 93 dispenses with the typical film making tropes. Tack on the high relevance of the film's plot with my generation, and the fact that I first watched it on 2006-09-11, and it holds a special place in my heart.
I almost forgot.....Ronin.
Just a Hairy Special Snowflake supply clerk with no field experience, shooting an Asymetric carbine as a Try Hard. Snarky and easily butt hurt. Favorite animal is the Cape Buffalo....likely indicative of a personality disorder.

Netflix DVD rentals.
Or, I have a used movie and cd shop near my office. I just buy used DVDs for $3-5 bucks. You can probably do the same on eBay if there is no brick and mortar store near you. Might as well own instead of rent at those prices.
Heat....without a doubt is my favorite.
Second Hand Lions
No Country for Old Men
Risky Business
