Re: OT: Favorite Movie
Strangely enough, there are no new films on my favorite list. Could it be that today’s movies are all about effects and not about content ?
While I enjoyed watching movies like LOTR and Matrix (1), they do not leave a Lasting impression on me (that is LOTR the movie, not LOTR the books). Good for 2 hour of fun, then easily forgotten.
Some of my favourite movies of all time (In no particular order):
A Clockwork Orange
Citizen Kane
Ben Hur
The seven Samurai
Ran
Battleship Potempkin
One flew over the Cuckoo’s nest
Silence of the Lambs
Blade Runner
Alien (1)
Time Bandits
Animal House
Barbarella

Re: OT: Favorite Movie
The original "12 angry man". Very good movie that make you think twice.

That is a good movie. Although I haven't seen the origianal. I just watch the one with Tony Danza the other night with my friends. I enjoyed it alot, as you said it makes you think about it and get into the story.
My list would have to include the following, in no particular order:
Gone in 60 Seconds
SW, 2, 4, 5, 6
Most of the Star Trek movies
Taken (Miniseries)
Dumb & Dumber
The Matrix (1)
Lots more but that is it for now.

Re: OT: Favorite Movie
I'd have to say Star Wars: A New Hope, for the same reasons that David mentioned. Except I was 13 at the time - perhaps an even better age for it. 
Others in the top five:
Dead Poet's Society
Room with a View
Casablanca
Kelly's Heroes
While we're on the topic of bests...
Best Radio Show: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (BBC)
Best Book: Dune
Best TV series: Star Trek TNG |

reading over this list reminded me of alot of old movies that i enjoyed and respected a great deal, and based on the content of the list im supprised that you did not have Sparticas instead of Ben Hur. No matter, but seriously here.. Barbarella? are you kidding? I mean, I only saw the movie after enjoying music from the 80s band that took their name from one of the characters, and even as just a comic curiosity, it was painful to watch.
Lets see, what can I name thats not on here already?
Sanjuro
Heat
Maltese Falcon
Galipoli
Mad Max
Conan the Barbarian
