Babette's Feast:

That's one I didn't expect to see on FR. One of my family's favorites also. Perhaps better rememembered than seen. Only for people who watch the food channel.

"The Last of The Mohicans" is one of my all-time favorite movies and I agree with others who replied to your post on many other titles. ("It's A Wonderful Life", "A Beautiful Mind", for example) I'll even admit to appreciating the movie "Yentl." :-)

It's hard to have an absolute favorite, so here's my list of some of my favorites:

• Schindler's List
• Inventing The Abbotts
• Goodfellas
• The Big Easy
• Return to Me
• Gladiator
• The Island on Bird Street
• Popeye (the movie)
• Life is Beautiful

  Then there are those that I don't think many will remember. I certainly haven't been able to find them on video.

• Something Wicked This Way Comes
• Kathy O
• The Mafu Cage
• Big Red

  Okay. That's the "some" of all movies.

At the risk of sounding corny...

Somewhere in Time
Gettysburg

(Love both soundtracks, too!)

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

LOL - I loved "Raising Arizona". (Man, now I'll have that little yodeling thing stuck in my head for the rest of the night.)

"This is Spinal Tap" is still my all-time favorite.

Beyond that, "Life is Beautiful", "Saving Private Ryan" and "The Patriot" probably top my list...and I almost forgot about "My Life As A Dog".

[Fire_on_High]

Braveheart, all of the Nat'l Lampoon Vacation movies, Bloodsport, Top Gun, GI Jane, Dragonheart, Dante's Peak, Neverending Story and just about any decent "sword and sorcery" type fantasy movie....which seem to have become rather unpopular since the late 80s. </asbestos>

[Nubbin]

The Fellowship of the Ring

The Two Towers

The Return of the King (okay it's not out yet so I have not seen it, but I know it will be great!)

Fiddler on the Roof

Amadeus

Dr. Zhivago

A Man for All Seasons.

Why do so many people recommend Pulp Fiction? I thought it was awful!

[rwfromkansas]

I am somewhat embarrassed to say so, but I have to add Dumb and Dumber to my list also. I tend to be a serious person, so sometimes I need movies like that...and while somewhat risque, it was FUNNY...

[BibChr]

Tastes differ; but never has a movie SO thrilled and satisfied me on so many levels -- thematically, aesthetically, emotionally... it's a wonder. I saw it something like 17X in the theater, never done anything like that before. I still don't tire of it.

Now, second place would be a tussle! Quiet Man... Forbidden Planet... Magnificent Seven... Tremors... Alien.... Hard choice.
