re: Do you have a favorite movie? If so what is it?

It's a wonderful life.

that's probably just a defacto answer because i feel like my top 5 is pretty fluid based on recent viewings. i don't know that it's my true favorite, but it seems to be my best answer

i never miss it Christmas eve and we cut onions as a general rule every year at around 9:50 to disguise our blubbering.


my top 5 rotation outside of IAWL:
Dark Knight
Interstellar
Good Will Hunting
Shawshank Redemption
Monty Python (upon repeated viewing, i could see Deadpool nudging this out for pure slapstick humor's sake)

Can't narrow it to one...

Terminator
Terminator 2
Shawshank Redemption
Blade Runner
Forrest Gump
LOTR: Return of the King
Scarface
Godfather 2
Back to the Future
Seven
Fight Club

I saw Blood Simple in the theaters, which opened my eyes to indie cinema. So it'll always be the most "important" film to me personally. But my favorite?

Memento.

Cool Hand Luke

Mine is The Prestige

The Usual Suspects

The Shawshank Redemption
