Here's a simple question: what is/are your favorite movie(s)?
American Beauty, Shawshank Redemption, Fargo, and The Godfather are my all time favorites (all rated R... how sad...). As for animation, I thoroughly enjoy anything that Miyazaki or Pixar make, Howl's Moving Castle and Wall-E standing above the others.
Oh goodness, such a simple question, but I've never had a simple answer!
I would have to say that it depends upon the kind of movie:
Comedy: Pretty much any tasteful, humorous comedy. Particulars: John Candy movies (Canadian Bacon, Uncle Buck, Spaceballs, etc.), Robin Hood Men In Tights, Princess Bride, The Simpson's Movie, the early Adam Sandler pics, Austin Powers trilogy, Naked Gun films, Baseketball.... the list just keeps going.
Epics/Trilogies: Lord of the Rings trilogy, Star Wars, Matrix trilogy
Action: Die Hard, Jurassic Park, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill I&II
Drama: Shawshank Redemption, Schindler's List
Family/childhood movies: Toy Story, Lion King, Bambi, Dumbo, Shrek
I know I'm missing a ton of movies there, but that's the basic overview.
Miyazaki rocks!
I still haven't gotten to see My Neighbor Tortoro, though.
I've the same issue. Favorite anything is problematic. As far as impact on my life, the Lord of the Rings trilogy would make it, simply because the books were so much a part of my life. But I also love things like The Matrix, and Underworld, and Hellboy. Stuff like that. But camp makes it for me, so Shanghai Shuffle, or Kill Bill, or Shrek. Or maybe something serious, like Schindler's List, or Rob Roy, or The Green Mile. Or unintentionally funny, like Waterworld, or so many b-movies I can't recall. Just don't give me that romantic comedy balogna; if the entire plot is based on lying to someone and getting into annoying situations because of it, you've lost my interest and respect. About the only romantic comedy I love is My Big Fat Greek Wedding. There was that moment where I went, oh no, she's gonna lie to him and kill the entire movie for me, and she told the truth, and it worked. Btw, she totally stole my story, except my family is weird without coming from Greece. lol
So, what was the question?
Hmmm, here's a list.
Ran
Pulp Fiction
Goodfellas
Hedwig and the Angry Inch

My favorite movie is Cango ........I like it.Its a good movie that's about the life of Gorillas.
I actually just watched "This Is What Democracy Looks Like" today; it is a documentary about the Battle of Seattle. I must say it is one of the more powerful films I have watched; I think I definitely have to put it into my favorites now.
Wow, I'm really digging everyone's movie favorites! Very nice guys! You have some good tastes!
