Top Favorite Films!

Ooh, I forgot - we own "Elizabeth," too. GREAT movie. Ed (my husband) likes it much better than "Shakespeare in Love," released that same year.
And it's interesting that you listed only "The Empire Strikes Back" from the Star Wars - er, double trilogy? That's the only one I can tolerate, and I actually quite like it. I love "It Happened One Night" and "The Best Years of Our Lives" too.
(edited to correct intolerable typo)

I do like the whole Star Wars trilogy (the original three), but my favorite is definitely Empire.
I am glad that someone can understand the love of older films. Before BBM, I always said the best films were from the 20's, 30's and 40's. Can't say that now. BBM has really thrown me a curve ball. I didn't expect to love it so much!
Ellemeno:
High Fidelity.
serious crayons:
Many, many of those that have already been mentioned, especially the one that tops most people's lists. PLUS:
Memento
What's Eating Gilbert Grape
Back to the Future
Big
Supersize Me
Down and Out in Beverly Hills
The Royal Tenenbaums
Talk to Her
Matchstick Men (which actually already has been mentioned, but I liked it so much I wanted to throw it back in)
and probably a bunch of others I can't think of offhand. My top five list probably has about 50 movies on it (allowing for ties).
But if you asked about my top one, there would only be one.

I personally liked Bertolucci's Besieged, which starred Thandie Newton and David Thewlis, and found it interesting that both Newton and Thewlis are equally treated as erotic objects of attraction for the viewer.

Okay, I'm watching Besieged now! It is a great movie, don't know how I missed it before! It is a strange title though.
