Movies?

[Dafydd]

In the "Other Hobbies" thread the question came up as to what is your favorite movie. I thought this was intersesting enough to make a new thread. One of the classes I teach is History of American Cinema.
Picking an all time favorite is just imposible, but here are a few that are at the top of my list:
Koyaanisqatsi,
Much Ado About Nothing,
and
The Nightmare Before Christmas.

 

[Spectre]

Now you've hit onto something I truely _am_ an expert at!

Let see... my all-time list, in no particular order, with plenty forgotten and list most likely reflecting my current moods and disclaimer disclaimer disclaimer...

Swingers - "Vegas Baby!"
Usual Suspects
Fight Club
Best of the Best
Any James Bond [if it's not Roger Moore or Sean Connery, it ain't Bond]
Three O'Clock High
True Believer
Highlander
Stargate
Austin Powers
The Hustler
The Mighty Quinn

That's what comes to mind when I run through the memory of "things I've seen more than 20 times each"
