I really really liked Gladiator, but it's not one of my 15-20 favorites.

It's not one of those movies that when it's on I feel like I have to watch it....FWIW, I feel the same way about Star Wars and Godfather movies ... really really liked them, but none are in my Top20 favorites of all time. I saw them, they were great movies, but I don't rewatch any of them on a consistent basis. Once or twice was enough for me.

Right on man. There really shouldn't be any criticizing someones favorite movie.. It's personal preference.

My favorite movie is probably Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle..

I love it too. One of those stop down and watch senerios for me. Most just see it as silly but it hits a chord with me for touching on some signifagent social issues.

Pretty much. I counted all the movies on imdb I ranked 9/10 or 10/10 and it's a couple hundred strong out of the thousands I've seen. Don't think I could ever narrow it to just one.

So everytime this thread comes up though I always just pick a new one out of the rotation.
