Your most favorite movies ever ?

[ShinHakkaider]

I find it easy to answer this if you name a director and ask me what my favorite films by them are.
For example,
for Spielberg, it's either RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK or JAWS
for Nolan, it's THE PRESTIGE or INCEPTION
For Scorsese, it's TAXI DRIVER or GOODFELLAS
for John Woo, it's HARD BOILED
for Kubrick, it's PATHS OF GLORY
for Cameron, it's ALIENS, closely followed by THE TERMINATOR
for Sammo Hung, it's THE PRODIGAL SON
for Jackie Chan, its DRUNKEN MASTER II
for Chang Cheh, it's MAGNIFICENT RUFFIANS or FIVE VENOMS
for Lau Kar Leung, it's THE 36TH CHAMBER OF SHAOLIN or HEROES OF THE EAST
for Carol Reed, it's his ONLY film THE THIRD MAN
for Spike Lee, it's a tossup between DO THE RIGHT THING and MALCOLM X
for Coppola, it's THE GODFATHER PART II and THE CONVERSATION

Hmm, making a definitive top five would take a while to think, so this is just an off-the-top-of-my-head list, subject to revision.
In no particular order:
Inglorious Basterds
Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?
The Martian (Was tempted to put Project Hail Mary here instead, but it doesn't get on until I've watched it as many times.)
Treasure Planet
Kingdom of Heaven, specifically the director's cut.

Some Honorable Mentions
Prey, Nosferatu, almost any Godzilla flick, Hero, Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Shaun of the Dead

I lot of the movies I fondly remember were more from my childhood/teen years, as I'm not much of a movie watcher these days. Though there are a few more recent movies I do like. Because of this, my list is probably different from most others. Also most of them are children/family movies I'm realizing as I type this. Also a lot of animated films too.

Mary Poppins

Babe
Gordy
Heavyweights
Matilda
Clue
Jurassic Park 1 & 3
We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story

[Theory of Games]

Oliver Stone's JFK is the undisputed #1. Every American should watch it.

Guy Ritchie's Revolver. "No one sees Gold - but Gold sees everything"

J.C. Chandor's Margin Call. A piercing revelation of corporate greed.

James Cameron's The Terminator. The definitive Cyberpunk masterpiece.

Spike Lee's Do The Right Thing. Racism examined through the lens of a great modern artist.

My list is rapidly changing because my kid is studying film and so we’ve been watching tons of classic movies. Turns out they’re considered classics for a reason. Go figure.

Some new additions would be Kurosawa’s High and Low, Truffaut’s The 400 Blows, and almost anything by Miyazaki.
