This. One of my all time favorites and the first one I thought of when I saw this thread title.

Oh my, this is hard to nail down, but I think I'll have to go with The Big Lebowski. It was the perfect sendup on classic gumshoe noir and one of Jeff Bridges' best performances.

I can't explain but I'm a die hard Kill Bill fan. Honestly, I like most of Quentin Tarantino's movies. I loved Natural Born Killers. In all of his work, they play like a book...a graphic novel even.

There are quite a few for me, but one I grew up with was The Last Starfighter.

Most recently, I would have to go with Courageous.

I have two great movies in mind. Both were shown when I was but a youngster. - The Longest Day and How The West Was Won. Both are great films and would rate a two thumbs up from me!

While I know many others would probably disagree, the Twilight series is actually one of my favorites. Others are a couple of the Nicholas Sparks movies, Gone With the Wind, and a few others. I like a wide variety of movies and sometimes it is just too hard to choose.

I also watched that film and I cried me a river. The love of the father was so touching.

As for the best movies I've watched, there've been a lot and it's hard to choose just one. Offhand, I can say I can keep rerunning the Tom Hanks-Meg Ryan and Julia Roberts-Richard Gere romances. Yes, I'm a helpless romantic.

Any Wes Anderson film. I've been obsessed with Moonrise Kingdom lately. Also, did anyone see Sing Street? That's also been a recent top 5 for me. St. Vincent also topped my list out.

my body my soul. its about a couple who loved each other deeply, the woman got pregnant and was to be sent for outside working by the company. with suspension of something bad to happen to the woman from the man, the woman dies with the unborn baby. the unborn survives and grows to be a photocopy of the late mother.

I've watched a lot of movies all these time but so far, the best was "A walk to remember" by Mandy Moore.

What a tough question to answer. There are so many out there. Right now I would have to say that the best movie that I have seen lately would be Collateral Beauty. It is so well written and acted. I can't believe it didn't win an Academy Award. Other movies that were really amazing are I am Sam, Remember the Titans, Fifth Quarter, Marley and Me, and just for fun The Matrix.
