Whats your favorite movie?

Mine would have to be a tie between The Social Network and 21 Jump Street

Hard question, I would say October Sky, or 12 Angry Men.

The Godfather and The Godfather Part II. Both equally classic, amazing movies. True cinematic genius. If you haven't watched them you're really missing out.

I'm sort of a film buff, so I'll also mention that my favorite Sci-fi movie is 2001: A Space Odyssey, my favorite comedy is Airplane!, and as for more "recent" movies I love The Dark Knight.

Best part of Shawshank is Morgan Freemans narration at the end!

I would probably say the movie on John Nash "A beautiful Mind" was definitely one of my favorites.

David - when you say film buff do you mean you also go out and see art house/indie movies?

@Cowboy112 Yeah it's an awesome movie. I didn't think that I'd like it as much as I did.

1) American beauty (yes I know a little risqué)
2) The reader (again just a little inappropriate)
3) Juno
4) Young Adult
5) The Social Network

The Thin Red Line or The Tree of Life.
A friend of mine got me into Malick earlier this year.

Now that I think about it, The Thin Red Line is probably my favorite. It's the most beautiful depiction of war (weird, right?) I've seen. It's like watching poetry, haha.

^^ American Beauty was a great movie although I admit it was a touch vulgar at times. After I watched it for the first time especially with that ending, my mind was like "Whoa".

I agree with the others that the Social Network was a good movie. I know it's a little cliche, especially here on CC, but it is.

I really liked The Terminal, Big and Catch me if you can (basically every movie Tom Hanks is in). I also like Back to the Future and The Breakfast Club.
