What is your favorite movie of all time?

Just simply reply to this post stating your favorite movie of all time.

My personal favorite is Grease (1978)

My Big Fat Greek Wedding.  It's too bad the TV Series spin-off didn't do as well!

Surely you're not serious. :-)

I gotta get back to you on this one.  I don't have a clear-cut favorite.

Blazing Saddles, because it is damn funny, and there is no way you could re-make it today.

I can't pick a "favorite".. There are quite a few movies I'm fond of, and depending on my mood, nearly any one of them could be my "favorite" at that time...

It's kind of like asking me to pick a favorite Madonna song. One day it could be "Borderline", the next it could be "Material Girl"... Or "Ray Of Light".. Or the live version of "I Love New York"...

However, I can say with nearly 100% certainty that my least favorite movie of all-time is likely to come out next year, and be another darned remake with a horrible cast, and desecrate one of my fondest childhood memories, and... :oops:

Ohh, I'll spare everyone the obscenity-filled rant on why having anyone besides Lynda Carter play THAT role is as sacrilegous as believing anyone but DeForest Kelley could play Bones McCoy...

Let's just say Maddy isn't likely to be very amused. :-?

But, going back to a favorite? I don't know.. Before I've been on my recent kick of watching classic TV shows that didn't make it to a fourth season, the last movie I watched regularly was Happy Gilmore.. Of course, I'm more amused over a particular scene in that movie than anything else. :lol:

If I had to pick a single favourite...UHF.
Roger Dobkowitz's Seven Commandments of The Price Is Right:
1. Tape and edit the show as if it were live.
2. Never tell the contestant what to do.
3. Size matters. (The bigger the prize, the better the prize and the bigger the reaction.)
4. All prizes are good.
5. Never do anything on the show that would embarrass a parent with a kid watching.
6. Never put on a prize that would make the show look cheap.
7. It’s the game, stupid! (It’s about the game.)

This is really tough.

I like alot of movies. But I'm a big horror movie fan, so I'd have to say the Halloween movies. I think that Michael Myers seems like a person who could actually exist in real life, unlike all the other horror monsters. Also, Silence of the Lambs was great.

I also was touched by Million Dollar Baby with Hilary Swank and Clint Eastwood, which I just saw on HBO about a week or two ago. It was a masterpiece.
