Really hard to say... so many movies and catagories. I have a ton of funny movies I like, buy I wouldn't call them my favourite... or the best movie.

We may need to categorize this and pick selections from each one. Let's see... we would need Action, Thriller, Horror, Comedy, Drama and Documentary. Am I missing any?

am I missing any?

Musical?

[BibleMonkey]

Oh yeah-Trash movies...

The Citizen Kane of trash, Russ Meyers
Faster Pussy Cat! Kill! Kill!

Black and white, topless busty 1965 women driving around in sports cars killing people....

Why Russ Meyers never got an Oscar, I'll never know-that system must be rigged

[Siddley Hawker]

The Gold Rush
The Great Dictator
Dr. Strangelove
Field Of Dreams
It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World
The Devil In Miss Jones.

If you can make it though a few disturbing scenes "The Shawshank Redemption"

"The road to Wellville" if you can find it, is hilarious

I'm a sucker for "the Fifth Element"

"The War of the Roses" is also a good one

Action - Matrix (yeah, the last one was kind of bad, but still quite awesome all around), LOTR (nerdy, but wicked)
Horror - The Grudge (probably scariest movie ever), Nightmare on Elm Street movies (best horror villain)
Comedy - Click (most recent... got some good drama in there as well), all Adam Sandler and Will Ferrell movies.
Drama - Ummmm... maybe Shawshank or American History X.
Animated - Finding Nemo, Shrek series.
True stories - most recent... Alpha Dog and Into the Wild (read the book first... very good).
Musical - Tenacious D, the Pick of Destiny... LOL.
Documentary - Cocaine Cowboys... must watch. One of the two guys it's based on was a pilot/mechanic and did some very cool things to transport the white stuff to the States.

Braveheart and Gladiator are my favourite though I guess.

[Spokes]

My favorite: Casablanca

We should include worst movie as well

I would say "Hulk"

[Highflyinpilot]

Ya I forgot about shawshank, very good film.

Worst I would have to say would be meet the spartans(the only good thing about that movie was carmen elctra, man is she phacking hot or what) There are alot of bad ones out there but this one I can remember because I actually went to the movie theater to see it, boy was that a mistake.

Hey mostly harmless, What about the movie beetlejuice .

[TopperHarley]

Hey mostly harmless, What about the movie beetlejuice .

That was always my favourite movie as a kid. If you compare Beetlejuice played by Michael Keaton, to Heath Ledger's joker, the resemblance is stunning.

I can't believe noone has mentionned Hot Shots! or Airplane. Unbelievable, two of my favourites for sure. MacGyver: the Lost Treasure of Atlantis, also tops the list.

[Highflyinpilot]

Heath ledgers joker was great.

[niss]

Blazing Saddles
Young Frankenstein
The Dark Night
Wall-e
Bee Movie
Equilibrium

Superbad pretty much was a summary of high school for me...minus the period on the pants part.
