Can't do it either, so I'll try by genre.

Western - Unforgiven
Horror - The Shining
Drama - Se7en
Comedy - Pulp Fiction

We had good damn movies as kids, then the next generation went all stupid for metro-sexual vampires and that was that.

Don't have a favorite western... :-)

Horror - "Session 9" or "Event Horizon"
Comedy - "Friday" or "Up in Smoke"

Apocalypse now. Shocker.

Several mentioned already, are in my top 25, but stating that one is my favorite, is simply impossible! There have been many great stories put on film, a host of fabulous roles played by far too many actors/actresses and an incredible amount of amazing special effects. Can you really pick one as your absolute favorite over all the others??? I would have a hard time narrowing it down to my top 25!!!

:-) But for the sake of the OP and thread I'll say Clerks.

Great movie. On my tops list too :-)

The illusionist or The Usual Suspects. Can't decide between the 2

Got a weakness for comedy. Seems like critics and the Academy Awards look down on that genre. It's not easy to do one that's clever and hysterical; the actors have to have great timing and inflection unless the film is all slapstick stuff.

Danny DeVito and Billy Crystal still slay me with Throw Momma From The Train . Why they never paired up again I don't get.

So low brow as that might make me it's my favorite movie.

Most days my favorite movie is "The Empire Stikes Back". Some days "The Goonies" gives "Empire" a run for it's money for my favorite. "The Bride of Frankenstein" is pretty close too. "Empire" only slightly beats those two for me.

LOVE The Thin Man series. I even had a terrier named Asta!

Casablanca

No idea.
But if I was hooked up to wires and bedsprings, I could probably narrow it down to something where Christopher Walken at least has a cameo.

Honestly, I have layers of like.
1.) I'll watch it again.
2.) I'll watch it any time someone wants to watch it.
3.) I suggest we watch it when nobody can make a decision and I've already seen it 20+ times.

Then there's movies that are just technically perfect. Well cast, great script. Incredible video. I love a lot of those that I just don't watch as often, but I enjoy as much as anything that might be "my favorite".

Probably something Quentin Tarentino like Pulp Fiction or True Romance.

"Millers Crossing" is an absolute classic, that almost seems unknown, to most people. A very worthy movie in all respects!

Sadly, I cannot pick a single favorite movie. There are far too many variations, the story line, special effects, the actors themselves, etc. It would be hard for me to pick my top 25 out of the thousands of movies I have seen in my life time!

Love that movie. Can watch that one over and over. The dueling chorus singing in at the bar is such a powerful scene.
