What's your single favourite movie and why should I watch it?

(I need ideas for films to watch )

My favourite film: Papillon

[Eyesore]

mmm thats a hard one...

Silence of the Lambs - you should have already seen this but its still an excellent movie.

Lol - when I saw Papillion the first thing I thought of was Busou Renkin(anime, you know)

I don't really have a favorite anything, but you should watch The Legend of Drunken Master (Jui kuen II).
It has some kick ass fight scenes. They're crazy!
It's Jackie Chan btw.

One film?
That's unpossible

The movie "Lucas" really got to me. It's from the 80's, it's oldschool but you just gotta watch it. My favourite series though is the Matrix by far.

I'll take it that it's Spiceworld then.

[Black Flame]

Oh god, there's so many. I have about 10-20 favorites, not just one. I guess I'll say:
Babel
Crash
Se7en
300
Children of Men
Pan's Labyrinth

And many more.

As with most things, the story was better.(IMO)

The story was way less developed. If I read the story first I would have guessed the character to be psychotic and paranoid. But in the movie he has more reason to go insane.

Emma Bunton was reason enough.

American History X

As an alternate, I'll offer The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou. I'm almost sure you'll appreciate its humour

This film also carries my seal of approval.

This is what I view as quintessential dry british humour. I hope my assumption is correct.

I personally like the Saw series but only if watching with my gf
If other then Transformer, Jackie Chan & Jet Li movies.

[Lawivido]

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

And A Life Aquatic is brilliant. Watch that first.

[Bryan]

Goodfellas
Zoolander
American History X
Fight Club
Tommy Boy

iz berry nice, I like.

[Icey Defeat]

Fight Club. Live by it. Close, but definitely not in first would have to be Scarface.

[Chew]

Donnie Darko is one of the movies I can never pass up watching, along with some of the others already mentioned.

[Chew]

Ohh I do quite like that one. Fucked up doesn't even begin to describe that movie

Fight Club is boring and entirely predictable.

i think the oddness is what makes it so appealing to me. I find movies like that very entertaining.

It's not a movie for girls, you wouldn't understand I don't think there's a single girl that liked the movie

It's kind of that, materialism is a big thing in the movie but it's still a piece of the pie xD
The movie is really made for guys. It's really a guy thing. It's aimed at men and portrays mostly men, to the point where it can be misconstrued as having homosexual undertones (Like when Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) is in the bath and he says "Is another woman really what we need?")

Idk. Most people watched Borat and laughed not realizing the whole purpose of the movie was to make fun of Americans lol.
