In regards to "best" vs "favourite", I prefer to go with favourite when it comes to the arts. How is any movie the "best"? If you say favourite, no one can argue with you. It's what you like and enjoy. Some people might think you have terrible taste or that you are a moron, but you still can't argue with what someone says is their "favourite".

 

My favourites are the ones I can watch again and again:

 

The Matrix

The Big Lebowski

Rushmore

Blade Runner

Fargo

Taxi Driver

Aliens

The Usual Suspects

Withnail & I

Trainspotting 

[kingcarr21]

The Land Before Time

 

 

 

God damn I love that film

[Crinklyfox]

Cult classic

Suppose it depends really on how you personally perceive what 'greatest' means for this industry.

 

For example: even though the first film ever to be released in colour, The Wizard of Oz, is around nearly 90 years old now and is obviously not a popular genre film in its genre anymore, still sees that film as a film that started all the coloured movie boom that greatly exists now.

Wouldn't ever disagree with anyone's pick of their favourite movie, as its entirely subjective...  but claiming The Wizard of Oz to be the first colour film is just wildly inaccurate.  It wasn't even the first film to be made using Technicolor.

Cheech and chong movies

I'd like to change my answer:

 

[RumbleFox]

Too many and too many variables for me.  Some of the films that I enjoyed the most at the time I couldn't watch again but their impact that first time was amazing.

 

Having said that, a few that stick with me.....

 

Jurassic Park

Rumble Fish (obviously)

Jaws

Alien

Fistful of Dollars

It's a Wonderful Life

Muppets Christmas Carol

Silence of the Lambs

 

Loads more but brain dead.

I re-watched the Matrix recently, loved it at the time and loved it since but seen it so many times that when it came on I thought "urgh, I'll give it ten minutes".  After 5 minutes I was completely hooked again and watched the whole thing.  Such a great film.

Oh, and Toy Story (all three, haven't seen new one yet), and The Princess Bride.  

[Gubbins]

Aliens and Raiders of the Lost Ark. Whether they are the greatest ever is debatable but they are both perfect at what they set out to achieve and nothing you could add or remove would improve them.

[marbles]

Rocky

Let The Right One In

Raiders of The Lost Ark

[Spiritwalker]

Probably Godfather 2 although 1 and 3 were also superb.

Can't believe nobody has mentioned The Good,The Bad and The Ugly.

Can't believe I forgot Rocky! 

 

I really, really enjoyed Rocky Balboa - it was like an homage to the entire series. 

[yorkie1999]

Pulp friction closely followed by gangbangs of New York 

[Stadt]

Seven Psychopaths and In Bruges are great as well

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Not saying it's the greatest movie of all time, but Shaun Of The Dead is a bloody great movie. Funny and very cleverly written. You notice something new you hadn't noticed before every time you watch it.

[jonthefox]

Schindler’s list

shawshank

saving private Ryan 

[Heathrow fox]

Anything from the eighties with Eddie Murphy in it (except the Golden Child) and carry on camping

Don’t forget Hot Fuzz!  Even better in my opinion.
