What is your favorite movie?

[VernalSole1355]

Fellow Aspies, what is your favorite movie of all time? You can have multiples.

Mine are probably in a 3-way tie between: Blazing Saddles, Monty Python: Quest for the Holy Grail, and Major League.

My favorites:
For adventure - The Man Who Would be King.
For righteous humor - Tampopo
For scary reality - Blackhawk Down
For ordinary heroism - Dunkirk
For SciFi, a three way tie - Arrival, Contact, and Interstellar (close is Forbidden Planet)
Uncategorized - Raising Arizona
Historical - Russian Ark (plus you need to watch the making of it . . . unbelievable!)
Anime - Your Name
Western, a tie - The Cowboys, Silverado
Like watching a slow motion train wreck - No Country for Old Men

Nacho Libre hands down.

I loved that with its gentle and heartfelt humor. Luchadores are great entertainers.

Somewhere in Time. I can watch that over and over.

Knowing. Beautiful Sci-fi movie.

Avatar. Also beautiful. Looks like a planet I would like to live on.

All things Star Trek.

I want to say any geeky movie like Avengers, Marvel Movies in general, DC Movies in general, etc. However, I really am wanting to watch the John Wick series again. I'm not sure I have a particular favourite movie. They're all pretty good.

I was hooked on SciFi ever since seeing Forbidden Planet in 1956. It was ahead of its time. Gotta agree that Avatar is thrilling and I like its message of sustainability (We are planet eaters, aren't we?).

Have you seen The Expanse? Itis the best SciFi series I've seen in a while.

Akira Kurosawa’s Ran.

Yessss . . . the story of King Lear sure has legs, as do many of Shakespear's plays!

No, I haven't seen that. I can get it on Prime Video. I'll give it a look see.

I see a few more listed above I really like also: Shawshank Redemption for one.
Also along those lines I like The Greenmile and Of Mice and Men.

I was hooked when I first saw Spirited away. I like Shinkai's work, especially the photorealistic backgrounds in Your Name, and the score by Radwimps is fantastic. Most recently I have enjoyed A Silent Voice . . . very emotional for me as I felt the social isolation at that age, though for different reasons.
