OT - Your All-Time Favorite Movie is.....?

Submitted by xtramelanin on

Mates,

I haven't been to a movie in years and can't tell you the last one I did see in a theatre. However, oldest son asked me to take him to see 'Captain America - Civil War' as a birthday gift since his birthday was last week and we just got back.  He enjoyed it so I'm glad, but I must admit that I'm too old to really enjoy those types of films much, but also that they did have a few good one-liners mixed in toward the end of the flick.  

I am adding a link here to the highest box office grossing films, which was a discussion we had on the way home.  I was surprised to see how many titles that I had neither seen nor heard of :  http://www.the-numbers.com/movie/records/All-Time-Worldwide-Box-Office

So, with a nod to the Monday thread about favorite war movies, what are the Mgobloggers all-time favorite movies?

EDIT:  Should've done it by decade.  Just looking at the 80's you have a boatload of classics: Lethal Weapon, Beverly Hills Cop, Top Gun, Caddyshack, Field of Dreams, and on...

Have a great weekend,  Looks like Lake Michigan is warm enough to swim in, so might try that tomorrow with the sons.

Clicked in ready to ask how one could start/participate in this thread while the Tigers, USMNT, and Hutch's team are all in action, and then skimmed and realized I wanted to share.

Diner.

went to two day entomology course in order to prepare for our honeymoon which was a substantial part of fly-fishing, also something we did while courting.

the wolverines band together to fight off the Reds. Come on people!

ok, so it's not too great.

I think a different question worth answering is: which movie would you be willing to watch many times? For me, it's The Fugitive.

We all know what happens at the end. But when Chazz Palmintieri drops the coffee cup it has the lawyers name but earlier in the movie Chazz leaves the room to talk to Gustavo Fring and they are talking about the case and Fring brings up the lawyers name. If he got it from the coffee cup how did Gustavo Fring know it?

Good question, now I guess I'll have to watch it again and see if I can pick up any thing new.  I enjoyed the commentary on this film almost as much as the film itself because the depth and detail it goes into.  That and the lineup scene is one of the best ad-lib scenes ever IMO.

Being There is a splendid movie. Supposedly it was one of the things that drew my parents closer when they first started dating. They were watching it in Albuquerque, and were both rolling in the aisles while the humor was obviously going over the heads of everybody else in the theatre.
