My all-time favorite movie is Lawrence of Arabia. Following up behind in no particular order are:

Shawshank Redemption
sex, lies and videotape
most anything with Johnny Depp not involving guns
Fargo
Sophie's Choice
Raising Arizona
Bull Durham
Ordinary People
American Beauty
The Big Chill
Apocalypse Now
Monty Python and the Holy Grail

A lot of my favorite movies (including ones that didn't quite make the list above) fall in a about a 12-year time span from 1982 or so to 1994 or so. I'm not sure if this is just because that was a glorious period in American cinematography, or because of the way that time period overlays my personal biography (from HS up until the time I had kids).

My favorite movie of all time is 'Shy People' with Barbara Hershey! It was a very strange movie, yet very well acted! I've never saw a movie quite like it! If you get a chance, definitely rent this movie on dvd! I'm also a big fan of Will Smith! My favorite Will Smith movie is ' Six Degrees of Seperation' with Donald Sutherland and Stockard Channing! A great movie! This was the movie where I discovered that Will Smith was actually a great actor!

I don't have an all-time favorite movie - when it comes to cinematography, my loyalties have been known to change rather quickly. At the moment, I'd have to say Blade Runner, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and Ocean's Thirteen (the only "Ocean's" movie without Julia Roberts! :^D).

There are too many to mention but the all time favorite movies that I have right off my head are Shawshank Redemtion, City of God, Old Boy, Happy Gilmore (I'm an Adam Sandler fan ) and Pulp Fiction.

New favorite movies since I last posted:
  • The Holiday (which I wanted to see for years till I finally got the DVD last fall)
  • Daniel Deronda (with Hugh Dancy and Romola Garai)
  • Emma (with Kate Beckinsale)
  • Sense and Sensibility (both versions by Ang Lee and BBC - beautiful piano soundtracks!)
  • Little Dorrit (BBC with Matthew McFayden)
  • Love Actually (Hugh Grant)
