Star Wars.




Followed very, very closely by Casablanca and The Godfather.

Don't change the rules! Make 'em sweat! And/or start a Top Ten list thread, if you'd like.
The tasty aspect of this thread is that you have to choose ONE. The One.
Yes of course it's hard to do. That's, like, you know, a good thing.

Anyone think I should change the rules? Afterall, they were made to be broken right? -->>>

No way. I'm with Shawn. One film to rule them all....

My choice is still TREMORS.

Top ten lists are for late night talk shows and Cosmo magazine.

The one
 

No, just kidding.. That was a terrible movie. One is difficult but I can say that I've never been more pleasantly surprised than when I saw..

spelling warning.. "Moulin rouge"

the music and the colors made my hair stand up!

Dylan, why TREMORS?????

if i had to pick one, seven samurai. kurosawa is my fav dir. of all time of all places. epic, romantic, honourable. everything about the movie is top notch. it's the great world classic.

<<<-- Originally posted by Christopher C. Murphy : Dylan, why TREMORS????? -->>>

Because I like it more than anything else. :)
I think it is the combination of humour, action, and interesting characters in a psuedo-horror environment that just hits my mark of what I enjoy in a movie. If there was some T&A, it would be perfect. My next choice after that is Race For Your Life Charlie Brown.

One film, huh? Damn. Thats hard.

I'd say for me it would be JAWS.

To this day I can watch it over and over and over again. A perfect film with perfect characters.

LOL to Dylan, more than once. Don't ever change, man.

Don't worry, if anything I'll get worse. :)

Shoot, yeah....Jaws is the best movie ever.

Ok, fine...my favorite movie is Jaws.

Now you where all waiting for this one:

" Meet Joe Black "

Why? Not entirely sure, but it evokes a great feeling with me
and I just love Brad's character. Can't beat the "peanut-butter man"!

No, it isn't too long... <g>

p.s. it's probably a tie with The Green Mile....

"Local Hero" 1983, Peter Reigert, Burt Lancaster. This movie just sucked me in, quirky, but very beleiveable. Wonderful characters, good story, nice and easy pace. A good "things are rarely as they seem" theme.

Shawshank Redemption

Erick that movie is still well-loved. I just came back from a story-editor's workshop where that movie was brought up.
