Could never narrow it down to just one, too many good movies made in the last 100+ years. "Favorite movies" are those that no matter how many times I've seen them, when they are showing on TV I have to watch them. In no particular order at all: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly AI (Artificial Intelligence) The Shawshank Redemption A Clockwork Orange (almost anything by Stanley Kubrick) Aliens II - the best of the bunch Gladiator Almost any Barbara Stanwyck movie from the 30's and 40's The Graduate The Wild Bunch Kill Bill vol. I and II Forbidden Planet Young Frankenstein Band of Brothers (technically a mini-series, but still a favorite) and that's just off the top of my head. Let me give this some more thought... 
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

" The Return Of Red River Johnny." No one will ever top that one.  Second in line would have to be " Gone With The Wind." L.W.

"The Return of Red River Johnny."
Leanwolf, if I remember you correctly, I must ask if you were involved with that one. Nahh, John, I'n not that old. Actually, I saw that flick many years ago, one summer Saturday afternoon at a theatre in the small rural town in which I grew up. I was home from my Freshman year in college and thought I'd drop in the theater for a good Saturday afternoon shoot-'em-up double feature. It was undoubtedly the all time worst movie I had ever seen... and I had watched a whole bunch of movies growing up. After it was over, I went and got my best friend, same age, who also, as I, loved movies, good, bad, or mediocre. I told him, "You have got to see this western movie! You'll never see another one like it!" We went back to the theater so he could see it too. Afterward he said, "I oughta kill you for completely wasting 90 precious minutes of my life." Fifty years later he and I still laugh about it. It had not one actor in it I'd ever seen before, even on the Saturday afternoon "B" and "C" movies. Years afterward in Los Angeles, I was the Story Editor on a western teevee show at MGM. One day in the producer's office, a conversation came up about really bad westerns. I told them about The Return Of Red River Johnny. No one had heard of it but curiosity was aroused in everyone, including the star who was in the office at that time. (Filming was over for the day.) So the producer had the Production Manager try to find a copy so we could screen it for laughs. He couldn't find a copy even in the Hollywood film storage vaults which house thousands and thousands of old flicks, clear back to many of the early silent movies. Probably a very small independent film company shooting on a shoestring and it very quickly fell into film oblivion... along with the company. So... when someone asks, "What's your favorite flick?" I say The Return Of Red River Johnny, hoping against hope that some one of us geezers might have seen it when young and we could share some yuks about unbelievably bad flicks. Hope all is well over there in your neck of the woods, and also with your writing. L.W.

I don't mean to hijack the thread but I had a young man ask me just the other day what were my favorite movies of the past 15 years. I really drew a blank. A few in my list probably fall into that category, but honestly, I think what Hollywood is producing lately is entirely forgettable. So if we can bend a little and consider television I would have to say "Lonesome Dove." My wife and I watch primarily British series we get through Netflix. In the past year we have enjoyed "Foyle's War," all seven seasons of "MI-5," and recently watched "Little Dorritt."

The Searchers, by far the greatest western ever made. And when I want to bust a gut laughing, Blazing Saddles, then again I bust a gut just looking at Mel Brooks.

Though I did not put it on my list, my girlfriend and I went to Blazing Saddles and I proposed to her after the movie. Been together 37 years and counting. Must have been a good movie.

1.Last of the Mohegans (with DD Lewis)
2.Tombstone
3.The Best Years of Our Lives
This is an old black and white film from immediately after WW2. I think all of us veterans should watch it about once a year: on Memorial Day.

GotAmmo: I am so glad your post reminded me of the movie I so absolutely and thoroughly enjoyed.
"Heat"!
I would add this movie to my all time favorites list and put it near the top of my now "Top Eleven" list.
What an incredible and incredibly well made movie.
After spending 29 years in LE in a large west coast metropolitan city I can relate to just about every character (good and bad), every scenario and every interaction of characters in that movie!
I think both Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro gave THE best performances of their careers in this wonderful movie - I literally get lost in it.
The scene where Pacino and DeNiros characters have "a talk" over coffee is just awe inspiring - acting at its absolute best.
I had the same talk with about two dozen criminals during my career - although my talks were not with classey criminals - they were with bikers, Black Panthers, SDS types, drug dealers, Cuban criminals, pimps and the like.
None of whom took my lame attempts at setting them straight to heart - and most all of them ended up in the "walls" (Walla Walla State Prison).
The main shoot out scene in "Heat" actually makes my crotch area sweat.
The movie is also directed without flaw - IMO.
Thanks again for reminding me of my oversight.

Holy cow! 6 pages of "favorite movies", including everything from Joe Dirt to Blazing Saddles, and nobody has said:
Raiders of the Lost Ark?
Wow.
And since nobody else seems to be stopping at just one either, add
the original Star Wars trilogy
Where Eagles Dare
The Jason Bourne trilogy
And no, they aren't movies, but LOST, Firefly, and the new Battlestar Gallactica series.

The Searchers is certainly up there on my list. I had the good fortune of seeing it in a theater last month. John Wayne is amazing in that movie.

"A knights tale" and "Zulu" come to mind.....in point of fact, I have a liking for the "Guns of Navarone" as well.
Also a quirky wee flick from Bruce Willis called "The Fifth Element"....surprisingly funny.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Ok, I know this thread is old but I consulted it tonight because I had time to watch a movie and figured y'all wouldn't steer me wrong. I saw the Searchers mentioned several times in this thread so I thought I'd give it a shot. I figured good reviews, John Wayne... it has to be awesome, right?
Wow, what a disappointment. Talk about a crappy film. Acting is piss poor, the sissy that follows John Wayne around is a pussie AND a queer (not to mention the worst actor of the bunch), way too much boring crap like the love story between the sissy and the Swedish chick, the sissy fight at the end wtf?, and my God is it LONG! Of all the westerns, even just John Wayne films, how could you recommend this one? The Searchers is a turd among classic westerns.
The best part of the entire film, by far, is when the sissy kicks that squaw out of his bed and down the hill. That was pretty hilarious.
