What is everyone's all-time favorite movie?

Now, mine has nothing to do with one of the principal actors of this movie having passed recently. I just love this movie. It really toys with your expectations and really, nothing turnds out the way you'd expect.

If you haven't guessed already, mine is The Sting.

I gotta go with Princess Bride. I Love that movie, quote it all the time. Just Classic.

But the original The Crow with Brandon Lee is a close second.

Star Wars. And by that I mean, A New Hope. My single greatest film of all time, and a film that is in large part responsible for me being who I am today.

All time favorite? I don't think I can honestly choose just one. Some of my favorites are Brick, Clerks, The Prestige, Batman Begins & The Dark Knight, Good Night and Good Luck, and Star Wars (original trilogy, of course). Each brings something completely different to the table.

Brick is noir to it's core. I love the fast talking lingo and the dark mystery.
Clerks. Come on, it's a Kevin Smith classic.
The Prestige was such a great movie, both visually and in it's narrative. How obsession and pride can consume all.
BB & TDK are brilliant pieces of work. I love Batman as a character and no portrayal has done more justice to the mythos than these two films.
Good Night and Good Luck, was a masterpiece of storytelling. Edward R Murrow is, to this day, still one of myown personal heroes. His mastery of the english language and all that he's done with his life and astounding. Clooney did a wonderful job bringing that to the screen as director.
Star Wars. 'nuff said.

Like I said, I can't truly chose between them, so I'll allow you all to make that decision for me.

This is my first post, and its good to finally be here. Im with HB podcast.
