Alice in Wonderland (Disney animated)

Quoted for truth - underrated piece of work from before Disney were seen (or acting) as an evil empire. If anyone has read the book, it's surprising they managed to turn it into a working film, let alone a good one.

Some of my favourites:

Rollerball (the 1970s one)
Mad Max 2
Ghost In The Shell
The Big Lebowski
Brazil
Leon
Dawn of the Dead (original)
Silent Running
THX1138

I'll be honest - modern films have mostly been leaving me cold. Obviously things like the LOTR trilogy are amazing pieces of work in every respect, but aside from that - bleh.

I don't know what my favorite movies are, no idea really. But here are a few recent movies that I find I can watch multiple times without tiring of them:

Lost in Translation (well, I love Japanese-related stuff)
In the Cut (I think this is one of Jane Campion's finest films, a real work of art, but it gets no love because it is mistaken for a stock serial-murder movie)
Bottle Rocket (though I pretty much like anything by Wes Anderson, and Owen Wilson is great in this one)

[MOSQUITO FIGHTER]

I had to pick some more also. Ed Wood is my favorite movie.

City of God
A Clockwork Orange
True Romance
Ravenous
Being John Malkovich
Another Day In Paradise-(James Woods is cool-"It's all about the money!")
Buffalo '66
Reservoir Dogs
Rushmore
Willard (2003)
Big Fish
Heathers
American Graffiti
Sleppy Hollow
Natural Born Killers
Sin City-(Looks incredible)
Kids-(Gross movie-still like it though)
Adaptation
The Elephant Man
Kill Bill Vol 1-(The blood looks so great.)
A Beautiful Mind-(Great story)
Run Lola Run
Se7en
PI
Bottle Rocket-(yellow jumpsuits )
The Breakfast Club

And some favorite movies from my childhood
Gremlings
Short Circuit
Uncle Buck
Harry and the Hendersons
Labyrinth
The Dark Crystal
Return of the Jedi-(Ewoks rule dammit!)
Empire Strikes Back

[Samudra]

American Beauty
Barry Lyndon
Passion de Jeanne d'Arc, La
Rosemary's Baby

These are some that come to mind.

If I had to pick only one (as the topic implies) I would pick Barry Lyndon. I don't think I'll ever tire watching that.
