Rewatched this on the weekend for the first time since my childhood. Man, I miss these Joe Dante 80's movies.
I tried to make a proper list but I ended up just writing endlessly not wanting to leave any films out, lol. There are too many great films to name.
A short list of films I admire:
Schindler's List
City of God
The 400 Blows
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's List
Jaws
You could ask me tomorrow and I'd list a different set of films...

Too hard to name one, but a few favorites are:
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark
Ghostbusters
Evil Dead 2
Aliens
Pulp Fiction
Terminator 2
For some reason I have a hard time putting more modern movies in there, even though there really are quite a few brilliant new films. Nostalgia I guess, I've seen so many movies that even the most brilliant new ones simply can't make the same impact like the ones of my youth. I should really re-evaluate the way I view movies it seems.

Ok, so for me..favourite is a very different question than best. Also, my favourites list is pretty liquid, so they change from time to time.
In no particular order,
Spirited Away
Before Sunrise/Sunset
Blade Runner
The Shawshank Redemption
The Batman Begins/Dark Knight duology
The Lord of the Rings trilogy
Wall-E
Rear Window
2001
The Matrix

Without a doubt...
I tend to watch it annually, and have watched it well over twenty times. The first time was in 1986-87, when I was 11-12.
I own four different versions of it (VHS, DVDx2, BR), the soundtrack, and this poster I got from my parents for xmas when I was 15-16.
The rest, which vary from time to time.
EDIT: I forgot to include a movie about WWII, which I've always found a thoroughly interesting subject. Here's a one I find aesthetically beautiful, yet questionable content-wise.
EDIT.2: Just noticed the hilarious error on the poster. =D

As Sartre noted in his contemplation on Hell in No Exit, the true horror is other members.
I am actually shocked only one other GAFer has listed this.

Hmm...my top 10 tends to remain the same, only the placements are different or a new contender will appear once in a while.
Right now:
Fellowship of the Ring (LoTR)
Once Upon a Time in the West
Mulholland Drive

I have a ton of movies that I love. This is the list of movies that if I catch them on TV I will watch until completion. I guess you can call them my favorites.

Vanilla Sky. I thought I would be the only gaffer who would have this as their favorite movie but it seems like I'm not alone.
Boosh.

1. WALL-E. The best from the great Pixar. I grew up on space operas, and this happens to mix it with an adorable romance story.
2. Tron: Legacy. I just posted in the LTTP thread, but I just love this movie's action, CG, and soundtrack.
3. Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It's not about glorifying truancy, stealing a vintage Ferrari, impersonating a celebrity, hijacking a parade, accidentally starting up a bogus donation campaign, and getting away with it in the end (at least until the next day). It's about getting out and enjoying the finer things in life. Get out there and do something instead of just going day-to-day.
