Easily The Searchers, but then I’ve got dozens of “favorite” movies! But if it was crappy outside, and all these different movies were on at the same time, I would watch The Searchers. Duke at his best. 7mm

No Country For Old Men is outstanding. One of the few films that does the book justice. Even more so, it IMPROVED my enjoyment of the book having mental pictures of the characters in my mind’s eye, as I saw the film before reading the book. Then, I went back and watched the film immediately again, and it was even better for having read the book. A rare experience.
Pulp Fiction has been my favorite movie for many years, but the John Wick movies are excellent. No Country for Old Men is one I need to rewatch I liked it a lot.
The first weekend of this lockdown was gangster weekend for me and Godfathers 1&2 were excellent. Mobsters was ok. Scarface fantastic.
Last weekend was westerns and Once Upon A Time in the West, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly were excellent. The Shootist too.
This weekend was Bogart and The Maltese Falcon and Casablanca were outstanding; African Queen good as well.
Check out Jackie Brown, based on Elmore Leonard book. The Usual Suspects.Primal Fear. Jade is similar.LA Confidential. Anti hero triumphs for the most part. Magnificent Seven and the Charles Bronson stuff on the other hand.
Is Sicario II as good as the first one? It’s one of my favorites.
IMO Day of the Soldado is better than Sicarrio. Significantly so. The first is definitely worth watching, but the second is better. The HALO drop and shootout alone is worth the price of admission and admission ain't cheap anymore.
Lots of favorites - NCFOM - well executed and the movie KNOWS how to lay out the suspense. Love this movie and book. Tommy Lee Jones is perfect in his role.
Most all the usual westerns are always on my list - Death Hunt, Rio Bravo, El Dorado, Commancheros, Sons of Katie Elder, Tombstone, Open Range etc.
