| My favorite movie of all time has to be Top Gun. I watched it for the first time when it first came out, when I was just 2 years old! Since then, I believe I've seen it at least 50-100 times. Or more. I never kept track, but I know the first few summers it was out, my brother and I watched it almost every other day. So, it's probably my favorite movie just based on the number of times I've seen it, but I also love everything else about it. It still makes me laugh, cry, (and swoon over Tom Cruise [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img].
My other absolute favorite is a Hindi movie, so I won't go into great detail, but Devdas because of the beautiful cinematography, the beautiful story, the beautiful everything! Plus, Ash and Shah Rukh and Madhuri are my favorites, and I love Chunni Babu (I know some of ya'll here are Hindi film fans!)
Other favorites (there are a lot, beware! I'm a movie fanatic) include The Princess Bride - so funny! Cary Elwes really does a fantastic job in that type of role - Men in Tights, anyone??
The Harry Potter films almost by default - I love the books, how can I not at least love the films a tiny bit? Plus, Dan Radcliffe may be the most adorable person ever (and will grow up to be gorgeous). And Rupert Grint and Emma Watson. And Bonnie Wright and Tom Felton... aw, hell, I love them all!
Good Will Hunting, great script, always makes laugh and cry, and I love the Boston accents.
Forrest Gump - well, I do believe this one is pretty obvious. Simply an amazing movie. Tom Hanks is an incredible actor.
Romeo and Juliet: It's intense. I know a lot of people don't like it, and I don't even know how much I like the actual play (relative to Shakespeare's other works), but wow, this just blows me away every time.
Two newer favorites:
Sweet Home Alabama: perfect girly movie. It's just adorable, and funny and charming. Plus, I'm originally from the South, so it makes me feel all homey and happy inside.
X-Men 2: This could be a favorite just based on that very last scene. (Those of you who have seen it (and also know the original comics/cartoon series) will know what I'm talking about.)
Whew! That's a lot of movies, sorry for the humongous post.
Edited: Also, I love almost any and every musical, whether it's a musical made into a movie (like, the Music Man... LOVE! [img]smilies/love.gif[/img] or Chicago, etc), or a musical all on it's own, like Moulin Rouge. Oh, and can't forget Newsies. I have mad Newsies love.
Man, I bet you all *wish* I had listed them after this huge post. I have others I want to list, but I'm stopping here. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
